Alternate sees no chance of PMDB supporting Gleisi.
For Senator Sérgio de Souza (PMDB-PR), a coalition with the Workers' Party candidate is the least likely; currently, the majority of the PMDB's leadership in Paraná is divided between those who want to support Governor Beto Richa (PSDB) and those who advocate that the PMDB launch its own candidacy: a group that is subdivided between supporters of Roberto Requião and those who prefer Orlando Pessuti.
