Wagner taunts ACM: "They're going to lose the election"
Governor questions the political maneuvering power of Salvador's mayor in Paulo Souto's (DEM) campaign; according to Jaques Wagner, even being the main campaign manager for the opposition, ACM Neto's support will not affect the election results in the interior; he believes that, in reality, the Democrat is campaigning early for himself; "The campaign is not for Paulo (Souto), it's for him (ACM Neto) for the 2016 (mayor) or 2018 (governor) election. All the candidates from there appear saying they are the mayor's candidate. It's delusional to think he's going to have such a huge impact in the interior."
Bahia 247 - The fact that the DEM candidate for governor of the state, Paulo Souto, has been leading all opinion polls since the pre-election period does not frighten Governor Jaques Wagner. The PT member is betting on the victory of his party's candidate, Rui Costa, and even takes a jab at the political maneuvering of the mayor of Salvador, ACM Neto (DEM), considered a vote-getter for his party colleague.
Jaques Wagner said in an interview with the newspaper A Tarde, in the edition of this Friday (3), that even being the main electoral asset of the opposition, the support of ACM Neto (DEM) will not have an impact on the results of the polls in the interior of the State. The PT member believes that, in fact, the young Democrat is campaigning early for himself.
"The campaign isn't for Paulo (Souto), it's for him (ACM Neto) for the 2016 (mayor) or 2018 (governor) elections. Personally, I don't see the point in it. All the candidates from there appear saying they're the mayor's candidate. It's delusional to think he's going to win everything in the interior."
Wagner compared ACM Neto to his grandfather, the late former senator and governor Antônio Carlos Magalhães, and said that the mayor "is just beginning to have a trajectory." "He's just starting now, he inherits his grandfather's name. He's trying to pretend he has one. He's going to lose the election."
