Wagner loses hope of making Eduardo give up.
Likely to be the coordinator of President Dilma's reelection campaign in the Northeast, the governor of Bahia has been in talks with the socialist for some time, trying to convince him that the best course of action is to maintain the alliance; among the proposals, the Workers' Party member has practically guaranteed Eduardo Campos' support for his candidacy in 2018; the governor from Pernambuco did not accept; "I think the path back has narrowed," says Jaques Wagner.

Allies of Governor Jaques Wagner claim that they no longer see in the Workers' Party member the hope he once had of persuading his colleague, the governor of Pernambuco, Eduardo Campos (PSB), to abandon his bid to challenge President Dilma Rousseff in the 2014 election.
Considered the likely coordinator of the president's reelection campaign in the Northeast, Wagner has been in talks with the socialist for some time, trying to convince him that the best path is the one that leads the PSB to support the head of state once again.
Among the proposals, the governor of Bahia has already offered Eduardo Campos a virtual guarantee that the PT (Workers' Party) would support his candidacy in 2018. The Pernambuco native did not accept. Wagner then offered to forgo the PT's candidate for his succession in order to support Senator Lídice da Mata (PSB) as early as 2014. It seems that Eduardo was not interested either.
Faced with the rejections, the Workers' Party member is discouraged. A note in the Painel column of Folha de São Paulo, this Tuesday, says that Wagner is more skeptical: "I think the way back has narrowed," says the Workers' Party member.
