247 - The PSB convention in Pernambuco celebrated today in Recife the broadest coalition of candidates from this political field, orchestrated with the help of former president Lula. The meeting endorsed the candidacy for re-election of Governor Paulo Câmara, of the PSB, with Luciana Santos, of the PCdoB, as his running mate. The ticket will include Jarbas Vasconcelos (MDB) and Humberto Costa (PT) running for Senate. The political heir of former governor Eduardo Campos, his son João Campos (PSB), leads the list of candidates for the Chamber of Deputies.
"The alliance only came about because of the veto of the candidacies of Marília Arraes (PT) for governor of Pernambuco and Márcio Lacerda (PSB) for governor of Minas Gerais. According to the polls, Paulo Câmara is technically tied with Miguel Arraes's PT granddaughter."
Amidst a barrage of fireworks, Governor Paulo Câmara gave a speech in defense of Lula, who led the negotiations with the PSB party in Curitiba, where he is imprisoned after being convicted of corruption and money laundering. Before him, other candidates spoke in defense of Lula, such as Lulinha do Povão, a candidate for a seat in the Chamber of Deputies.
