Lindbergh: It makes no sense for the PT to support the DEM candidate.
“I saw many reports talking about the PT supporting the DEM leader, Rodrigo Maia. I called several parliamentarians because I think that would be a big mistake, a huge error. It makes no sense to support the DEM or PSDB candidate against the centrão (center bloc). They all participated in this coup against President Dilma. I am confident that the PT caucus will not do that. There is nothing that justifies supporting the DEM candidacy, which, I repeat, are allies of Eduardo Cunha and sponsored this coup,” stated Senator Lindbergh Farias (PT).
247 - Senator Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) released a video on Facebook this Monday (11) in which he opposes the alleged support of the PT for the candidacy of the DEM leader, Rodrigo Maia, for the presidency of the Chamber.
“I saw many articles talking about the PT supporting the DEM leader, Rodrigo Maia. I called several parliamentarians because I think that would be a big mistake, a huge error. It makes no sense to support the DEM or PSDB candidate against the centrão (center bloc). They all participated in this coup against President Dilma. I am confident that the PT caucus will not do that. There is nothing that justifies supporting the DEM candidacy, which, I repeat, are allies of Eduardo Cunha and sponsored this coup,” the senator stated.
According to the senator, the PT's support can be for any party, as long as the candidate did not vote in favor of Dilma's impeachment.
“We are publicizing and denouncing this coup worldwide. Therefore, our alliances cannot cross this line. I trust that the PT caucus will not enter this realm of parliamentary cretinism and support a DEM candidate for the presidency of the Chamber,” he stated.
