      "If I wanted to be a candidate, I would go to PPS, not PSB."

      Former Senator Marina Silva advocates for a climate of total harmony with the governor of Pernambuco and presidential candidate Eduardo Campos; "The idea that 'Marina is ahead of Eduardo in the polls and they will be locked in a battle of titans' did not prevail. If we wanted to compete for the candidacy, we would have gone to the PPS and not come to disrupt the governor's life, who was making his moves," said Marina at the membership ceremony of former STJ minister Eliana Calmon, who will be a Senate candidate for the PSB.

      Bahia 247 - Former Senator Marina Silva has buried (at least in speeches) any possibility of running for president of the Republic in 2014. After seeing the creation of her party, Rede Sustentabilidade, thwarted by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), she joined Eduardo Campos' PSB, and speculation continues regarding a possible conflict of interest with the governor of Pernambuco.

      "The argument that 'Marina is ahead of Eduardo in the polls and they will be locked in a battle of titans' did not prevail. If we wanted to compete for the candidacy, we would have gone to the PPS and not come here to disrupt the governor's life, who was making his move," said Marina at the membership party of former STJ minister Eliana Calmon, who will be a candidate for the Senate for the PSB.

      Marina Silva also said that "being president of Brazil is not her life goal" and that when she spoke with the PSB, "she knew she was talking to a party that already had a candidate."

      The former senator assured that she will not engage in "the old practice of opposition for opposition's sake, which only sees flaws even when virtues are obvious" and "the practice of supporting the government for its own sake, which only sees flaws even when virtues are obvious." "We want to have a different position, a different political attitude, and that's what we're doing."
