With the electoral dispute approaching, President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) began to structure the team that will coordinate his reelection campaign to the Planalto Palace.
According to reports from members of the government and the PL, four names have already been defined for the candidate’s campaign committee, which should have electoral bases in both Brasília and Rio de Janeiro.
The group is formed so far by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), by the ministers of the Civil House, Ciro Nogueira, and of the General Secretariat, Luiz Eduardo Ramos, and by the national president of the PL, Valdemar Costa Neto.
The president’s intention is that his eldest son be the coordinator of his reelection campaign. As Flávio was elected in 2018, he will not run for re-election in 2022, having availability to command the structure.
Like CNN Brasil showed on Friday (14), the PL, the president’s party, intends to present to Bolsonaro in February a diagnosis of his electoral performance in the federative units.
According to reports made to CNN Brasil by three party leaders, the party commissioned electoral polls to assess the population’s opinion of the president.
In private conversations, leaders of the acronym defend that the representative should make shorter weekly lives, focused on only three topics, thus avoiding controversial statements.
In the words of a party parliamentarian, the scenario for the upcoming elections is different from that of 2018 and it would be more appropriate, at this moment, for the president to be more restrained in his statements, assuming a more presidential stance.
The party’s diagnosis, based on electoral polls released so far, is that the president’s speech against the vaccine, especially from children aged 7 to 11, has increased its rejection rates.
In addition, they consider that it is time for the president to abandon the so-called customs agenda and prioritize an economic discourse, with proposals for reducing inflation rates.
