'A victory for Castro would be a disaster for Temer'

Bahia 247 - Federal deputy José Carlos Aleluia (DEM-BA) stated that the candidacy of deputy Marcelo Castro was a mistake by the PMDB. "He is supported by the PT and was a minister and opposed the impeachment of Dilma. A possible victory for Castro, who also has the support of part of his party, the PMDB, will be a disaster for Michel Temer's government, very bad for the direction of Brazil, which needs changes for the economy to react and start generating jobs again," he said.

The congressman expressed confidence in the success of his party colleague Rodrigo Maia's (RJ) candidacy for president of the Federal Chamber. In addition to the Democrats, the Rio de Janeiro congressman will have the support of the PSDB, PPS, and PSB, which could mean more than 120 votes from the start. "There is great expectation for Rodrigo's good performance and his advancement to the second round," he stated in an interview with Rádio Metrópole.

According to the congressman, "we cannot continue what Eduardo Cunha was doing, conducting the work unilaterally with the support of his group. Rodrigo Maia will bring tranquility to the government and contribute to the approval of the reforms necessary for the country." "He is the hope for the restoration of respect for the plenary and the popular will represented by the deputies," Aleluia pointed out.

The congressman from Bahia did not rule out the possibility of Eduardo Cunha managing to avoid having his mandate revoked. "There are people, connected to Cunha, capable of annulling his impeachment process in the Ethics Committee," he warned. Therefore, Aleluia is against the election of Rogério Rosso as president of the House. "Rosso is worrying because of his deep connection with Cunha and his group, which is trying to annul the impeachment process."
