Flávio Bolsonaro meets with Republicans and reinforces vice position, but party resists

Flávio, Valdemar and the political coordinator of the PL presidential campaign, senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), spoke with the president of the Republicans, federal deputy Marcos Pereira (SP), in Brasília.

Pereira stated that he would continue consulting state directories and would give the final answer by this Tuesday (4), when the party holds its national convention. The tendency of the Republicans, the party of governor Tarcísio de Freitas, is to remain neutral - a decision that would free the states to support any candidate for president.

Three days before the deadline for nominating a vice president, the PL is still trying to win the support of parties in the center to avoid an internal solution, such as the nomination of federal deputy Priscila Costa (PL) for the vacancy.

Flávio would like to have Daniella Marques (Republicanos), a former assistant to Paulo Guedes at the Ministry of Finance, on his ticket, but her name faces resistance within the Republicans.

During this Monday's conversation, PL and Republicans also discussed the Minas Gerais platform. Without senator Cleitinho (Republicans) in the dispute, the Republicans must support former federal deputy Marcelo Aro (PP).

The PL command also took this possibility to the party directory in Minas, but has not yet dropped the hammer on support for Aro. Party members say that different options remain on the table, such as the candidacy of Flávio Roscoe (PL) or Vittorio Medioli (PL). The party is also talking to the Republicans about the possibility of launching former mayor Luís Eduardo Falcão (Republicanos), previously considered to be Cleitinho's vice-president.
