For now, Avante is one of the parties that support the governor’s re-election Romeo Zema (New) in Minas Gerais. However, the situation may change according to the choices made by the acronym that currently commands the state, according to the national president of Avante, the federal deputy Luis Tibe (MG).
That’s because the Novo is divided between who to nominate as vice on the governor’s ticket. One option is for the pure ticket, in which Mateus Simões, former secretary-general of Zema, affiliated with Novo, appears as the biggest candidate — he abdicated from the government position precisely in the hope of being nominated.
The other is the composition with a name from another party, which would strengthen Novo’s coalitions in the state and benefit him with the support of more parliamentarians and campaign time on television. Federal deputy Marcelo Aro (PP) would be a strong candidate.
For Tibé, the indecision of the New threatens the alliance between parties. “THE from the moment it wants to sign a pure plate, Novo is not building a group. This can drive us away. If it is an alliance of parties, then the parties have to participate and occupy space”, said the national president of Avante.
In addition to Avante, other names of We, Agir, Solidarity, Pros and MDB are studying supporting Zema in the state.
please note that André Janones, presidential candidate for Avante and federal deputy for Minas Gerais, has already declared himself independent in the dispute for the government of his state. “ANDu will not support Zema and neither Alexandre Kalil (PSD). The party’s decision is up to the president, but Zema has no type of commitment to the flags that I represent”, he justified.
The choice of Zema’s deputy is an example of the internal disagreements that exist in the Novo. Recently, the party has seen its most relevant members divided between those who defend the principles for which the party was born, such as the economy of public money and the veto of opportunist alliances, and those who would prefer a flexibilization of values in favor of the election in the short term. deadline. In this case, the former defend Simões as deputy, while the others would accept a name from another party.
