Marina will invite Suplicy to her new party.
The invitation should be extended this week; the senator from São Paulo has been losing ground within the PT (Workers' Party).
247 Among the names that Marina Silva is hoping to bring to her new party – which should be created in February – is that of São Paulo senator Eduardo Suplicy, who has been losing more and more ground within the PT (Workers' Party).
The invitation should be extended this week, according to a note from the journalist. Felipe Patury, from Época magazine. Other parliamentarians approached to join the party of the future presidential candidate are Randolfe Rodrigues, from PSOL (who has already offered to help collect signatures), Cristovam Buarque (PDT-DF) and Ricardo Trípoli (PSDB-SP).
Read Patury's statement on the matter below:
Come here, Suplicy: Marina has her eye on him.
The PT leadership wants to distance itself from Senator Eduardo Suplicy (SP) and, if possible, will deny him the party's nomination to run for reelection. That much is known. The new development is that he may be rescued by former presidential candidate Marina Silva. She has decided to invite him to join the party she will create to contest the presidency once again. Marina has a good argument to present to Suplicy. The PT leaders intend to offer the Senate seat on her ticket to Gabriel Chalita's PMDB party. In exchange, she would receive that party's support for her gubernatorial candidate. Marina intends to speak with Suplicy this week.
