PMDB-MA remains fractured.

The party is going from bad to worse; the meeting scheduled by Senator João Alberto, the party president, was sparsely attended; state representative Andrea Murad stated that she will not participate in any meeting without the presence of former governor Roseana Sarney; "I will be present when former governor Roseana Sarney and Senator Lobão Filho are there," she said; Andrea attacked Roberto, demanding the expulsion of his ally, Richard Nixon (mayor of Bacuri), from the PMDB for being investigated for loan sharking crimes; he, in turn, retorted by telling his parliamentary colleague to pull up the "criminal record" of her father, Ricardo Murad.

Jorge Vieira's Blog - The PMDB party in Maranhão is going from bad to worse. The meeting scheduled by Senator João Alberto, the party's president, was sparsely attended. State Representative Andrea Murad stated that she will not participate in any meeting without the presence of former Governor Roseana Sarney. "I will be present when former Governor Roseana Sarney and Senator Lobão Filho are there," said Ricardo's daughter.

Andrea Murad and Roberto Costa exposed the disintegration of the party in the Legislative Assembly, and since then the political godfathers have been trying to resolve the crisis, albeit without success. Andrea attacked Roberto, demanding the expulsion of his ally, Richard Nixon (mayor of Bacuri), from the PMDB for being investigated for loan sharking crimes.

Roberto counter-attacked by telling his parliamentary colleague to pull up the "criminal record" of her father, Ricardo Murad. "We cannot use the guise of morality and transparency while forgetting about our own house. Don't come here attacking and demanding punishment before demanding it at home," he said. Roberto alleges that the expulsion is to benefit Andrea's brother-in-law, Deputy Sousa Neto, who is supported by Nixon's opponent in Bacuri.

Amid a sea of ​​accusations and misunderstandings, the former governor even got involved in the mess by calling an emergency meeting last week, but there was no progress. This week it was João Alberto's turn to try, also without success.
