247 - Former governor José Serra demonstrated his strength tonight in São Paulo, launching his memoir about the military dictatorship and his time in exile in Chile. At the event organized at Livraria Cultura for the signing of "50 Years Tonight," the line lasted about two hours.
Governor Geraldo Alckmin, former governor Alberto Goldman, candidate and licensed president of Fiesp Paulo Skaf, as well as diplomats such as Rubens Barbosa and Celso Lafer, were all there. The couple Ruth Tegon and Marco Moro, the former communist leader Armênio Guedes, and the president of Febraban, Murilo Portugal, were also present.
Upon arrival, Serra made it clear that he would not discuss the political landscape. "Today, I'm only talking about the book," he warned. However, in the circles that formed at the Cultural Center, Serra's political future was the most discussed topic. Senate or Chamber of Deputies? While some predict Serra will run for the Senate, others foresee a more straightforward election for the Chamber – even to give the PSDB room in the coalition to attract allies, such as Gilberto Kassab's PSD.
What is certain is that, despite Aécio's presence at the launch, Serra will not be his running mate. The candidate from São Paulo, according to members of the PSDB party, is Senator Aloysio Nunes.
