247 - "After launching gubernatorial candidates in three states identified as priorities by the PSB, the PT is considering doing the same in Rio, where the party has so far stated that it will support the candidacy of federal deputy Marcelo Freixo (PSB). In São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and Pernambuco, the PT already has pre-candidates, and is considering following the same path in Espírito Santo, which hinders a national alliance between the parties in the presidential race and prevents the formation of a party federation," report journalists Thiago Prado, Bianca Gomes, and Gustavo Schmitt. reporter published in Globo.

"Although he publicly states that he is a pre-candidate for the Senate, the president of the Legislative Assembly of Rio (Alerj), André Ceciliano (PT), has been maneuvering and gathering support for a candidacy for the Guanabara Palace. Last Wednesday, the topic was discussed at a lunch between the state deputy and the mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, who today publicly affirms his support for the president of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB), Felipe Santa Cruz (PSD), to challenge Governor Cláudio Castro (PL)," the reporters continue.
