"Taking control of Amorim's PTB serves to lower the crest of arrogance."
The statement comes from federal deputy Almeida Lima, the new president of the party in Sergipe; “I already felt distanced from the PPS, which was known to fellow deputies from the PTB. In turn, the PTB's dissatisfaction with the 'rent-a-party' treatment given to the party here in Sergipe became clear. They confessed to me that this was not the role they wanted for the party: a party without qualified people, without popular representation, without candidates, without a project,” he states.
Sergipe 247 – Removing the leadership of the PTB party from Edivan Amorim “has served to lower the crest of arrogance, the plume of pride, the appearance of being the master of the world and the idea that money buys all consciences, or that, in politics, everyone sells themselves.” This assessment was made by federal deputy Almeida Lima, the new head of the party in Sergipe, in an interview with Jornal do Dia.
According to him, the change in leadership of the PTB occurred due to a "relatively simple political understanding," due to a "convergence of interests." "I already felt distanced from the PPS, which was known to fellow PTB deputies. In turn, the PTB's dissatisfaction with the 'rent-a-party' treatment given to the party here in Sergipe became clear. They confessed to me that this was not the role they wanted for the party: a party without qualified members, without popular representation, without candidates, without a project," he states.
In the interview with JD, Almeida Lima also emphasizes that the PTB's alignment with the PT-PMDB government in Sergipe is not automatic, but says that it is "moving rapidly towards that." "My rapprochement with Jackson and vice-versa is a promising and encouraging factor for Sergipe politics," he stresses, without any modesty, as is his wont.
