After meeting with a party of the PSL in Congress, the national party president, MP Luciano Bivar (EP), officially announced the launch of the candidacy for the presidency of the elected Major Olimpio (Senator). SP) to the presidency of the Senate.
In order for an application to be successful, it must in fact be registered with the General Secretariat of the Bureau, which usually takes place the day before or on polling day.
"Today, at our meeting, the party understood that Major Olimpio was our candidate for the Federal Senate," Bivar said.
Olimpio stated that he had been officially invited by Bivar at the inauguration of President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday (1), and that the idea had been "matured".
The elected senator said that in the beginning, the idea of the PSL was to integrate a party union around a candidate of another legend. However, according to Major Olímpio, the PSL has decided to launch its own candidacy.
"Until now, everyone knew that my articulation of the PSL with the senators was precisely in search of the union of pre-appointed candidates, including the appointments of Davi Alcolumbre [DEM-AP] Tbado Jereissati [PSDB-CE] Alvaro Dias [PODE-PR] of Esperidião Amin [PP-SC] And now, with this party mission, I am one of those options, continuing this process of regrouping and strengthening to have a solid candidacy with a chance of victory for the presidency of the Senate, "said the senator elected.
He thinks that until polling day, February 1, the number of candidates around a consensual name will be hindered. "It's the effort [that faremos]. We are trying to put in place a governance for the Bolsonaro government's project in the Senate," he said.
For Olimpio, the goal is to win enough senators to guarantee the vote on amendments to the Constitution, such as pension reform, which requires the approval of at least 49 of the 81 parliamentarians.
He admitted that the name of Senator Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), who also explained his entry into the dispute, relying on the very sympathy of the opposition senators, has "a significant force".
"Today, in particular, after what I understand, he is the strongest candidate, but all of this is evolving, we have 28 days before us to make up a candidacy." The process of my candidacy begins with the definition of the party, "Olimpio said.
Of the four senators elected by the PSL who will take office in February, in addition to Major Olimpio, only Soraya Thronicke (MS) was present at the meeting. Flávio Bolsonaro (RJ), son of the President of the Republic, and Judge Selma Arruda (MT) were not present.
