Former minister Simone Tebet (PSB) and the governor of SP, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), pre-candidates in São Paulo. Montage/g1/Reproduction/Senado and GESP PSB pre-candidate for the Senate for São Paulo Simone Tebet countered on Wednesday (8) the criticism made by governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) to her pre-candidacy in the state. "I'm a Corinthians fan, not a Flemish fan, and I've been paying taxes in São Paulo for 10 years. I didn't need to give someone else's address to apply," Tebet told CNN. The response from Lula's former Minister of Planning (PT) is an indirect reference to the fact that Tarcísio de Freitas also does not have a political origin in the state of São Paulo. Tebet was born in Mato Grosso do Sul, while Tarcísio was born in Rio de Janeiro and was elected governor of SP in 2022. Marina cites Tarcísio's Rio origins to refute criticism of her candidacy in SP. Fulfilling an agenda in the city of Campinas, in the interior of São Paulo, this Wednesday (9), Marina Silva (Rede) also refuted criticism of the governor of SP and said that he uses "double standards" and "prejudice against women" to criticize them. Marina, in turn, was born in Acre. "He is clearly a person who has double standards. He thinks that coming to do politics here is natural for him, and for me and Simone, it is not. And I think he also has an attitude of prejudice against women, of thinking they are the masters of the world. We can set up our territory, our tent, wherever we want. Women will always be seen as foreigners, as they should be on the outside", stated the former Minister of the Environment. Tarcísio's criticisms At an event in the interior of São Paulo also on Wednesday, Tarcísio had criticized Tebet and Marina Silva for not having “political origins in São Paulo” but, this year, they were running for the Senate in São Paulo. Flamengo fan born in Rio de Janeiro and later raised in Brasília, Tarcísio moved to São Paulo only in the 2022 campaign, when he was chosen by former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) to be the candidate for the São Paulo government. Carioca elected in SP, Tarcísio criticizes Tebet and Marina Silva for not being from the state At the time, Tarcísio declared residence in the city of São José dos Campos, in the interior of São Paulo, and was investigated by the Public Ministry of SP (MP-SP) and the Federal Police for changing his address. The investigation was archived. Despite this, the governor, who is running for re-election, criticized the political origins of Tebet and Marina at an event in the interior of São Paulo where he was alongside Guilherme Derrite (PP), pre-candidate for the Senate on his ticket. "With all due respect to the two Senate candidates from the other parties, they didn't start doing politics in São Paulo, they didn't choose this state to serve. They went to serve Mato Grosso do Sul and Acre, and got the red card from Mato Grosso do Sul and Acre. If they were to run there, they wouldn't be elected there," he stated. "And you can be sure, they won't be here either, they won't be. Because we won't let them, we will work to have the best representation. We will work to have a person who took care of Public Security in the state and knows how expensive this is for our population", declared the governor.

Simone Tebet for the first time will run for a position in São Paulo. The two lead the polls of voting intentions for the two Senate careers in dispute in the state, ahead of Tarcísio's two candidates (André do Prado, from PL, and Derrite). SP on Fernando Haddad's (PT) ticket, Marina Silva had already spoken out about the "outsiders" image that competitors from the right-wing camp are trying to pin on both of them. "It's a misogynistic view. When a man comes from another state to apply, he is greeted with a red carpet. When there are two women, they are called outsiders," he said. "São Paulo saved my life three times, when I had five malaria and three hepatitis. I was disappointed by the doctors, and a bishop paid for my one-way ticket here, where I was treated at the Hospital das Clínicas. There in the Amazon rainforest I watched soap operas by Ivanir Ribeiro and Benedito Ruy Barbosa and I knew it was a developed place that could save me. I owe a lot to this state, which has this symbolism of welcoming everyone from Brazil and the world who seeks opportunity", he added. Tarcísio was elected governor of São Paulo facing Haddad in the second round. The two will face each other again this year at the polls.
