The Independent Medium reported that allies warned Gilberto Kassab that denying support to Flávio could be costly for the PSD. According to the outlet, members of the party assessed that the Centrão would heavily support the candidate from the PL and that a potential supermajority in favor of Flávio in Congress could reduce the bargaining power of the PSD, including in the allocation of amendments. https://t.co/4I6ziqHBjF #Política #Eleições2024 #PSD (translated)

Flavia Ferronato stated that there were 2.5 weeks left to elect Flávio and that the hardest work had not yet begun.

Ferronato claimed that Marinho was from the Centrão and opposed bolsonarism, but said that this discussion would be left for after the election. She also warned that a lot of effort would be needed. https://t.co/q9hiqFKZ3y #Eleições2023 #Política #Centrão (translated)

IaraGB questioned whether Alcolumbre was approaching the end of his political career. According to Caio, he had suffered successive defeats in his state and was now trying to stay connected to what remained of Lula; therefore, he might use the 6x1 agenda to negotiate with the opposition or threaten them. Daniel stated that even if the Centrão negotiated support for Flávio in exchange for support for Alcolumbre's reelection, the opposition had already indicated that the election results showed they did not need him. #Política #Eleições #Brasil (translated)

Francisco Cardoso stated that the STF had decided to participate in the 2026 elections and, in his assessment, came out defeated. He said that the court's heavy-handed actions would have led millions of moderates to support Flávio and that, by preventing the Centrão from forming an alliance with him, it left the politician without links to the bloc, which would then depend on the PL. Cardoso also accused the STF of favoring Lula and harming the president's image. Regarding the Moraes-Master case, he stated that the court should have restrained itself and that its actions would have discredited it. He concluded that the STF had created chaos and risked facing impeachment. #STF #Eleições2026 #Flávio (translated)

Ricardo Almeida wrote that he had not yet realized the extent of PL's advance in the election.

He said that this time there were about 50 right-wing senators and classified the result as a real advance in checks and balances. #Política #Conservadorismo #Brasil (translated)

Rafael Gloves stated that, in 2022, the Brazilian economy was growing, inflation was under control, the government had a surplus, investments were increasing, and violence was decreasing. According to him, in this scenario, a power shift in favor of Lula was seen as acceptable, also due to the media's narrative that Lula would be different and that the then-president was unsuitable for the position. Regarding 2026, Gloves said that the economic indicators had reversed, inflation was eroding the population's income, government debt and violence had increased, and investments were focused on those seeking high interest rates. He asserted that the country was close to a precipice and that, for this reason, the two years could not be compared. Gloves predicted that Flávio would receive votes even from people who did not like him, out of desperation. He said this gave him confidence that a Flávio government would save Brazil and would have no commitment to please anyone or to pay the Centrão, which, according to him, did not support him. #Economia #Política #Brasil (translated)

Claudio Dantas accused the PT of having created the Master to launder bribes from new schemes and claimed that the party had bought the Judiciary to prevent another Lava Jato and the Centrão to block a CPI. He also said that, to keep Lula in power, the PT tried to buy Flávio, but that the former president's son, whom he called "01," would have used the money to make a film about his father. In the end, he asked them to bring the ballot box. #LavaJato #Política #Corrupção (translated)

Felipe Leme wrote that the surveys from the PT, the PL, the centrão, and the financial market indicated a consensus on a high abstention rate the following Sunday. He stated that, in 2022, an abstention rate 2.4% higher would have led Lula to win in the first round, just as it would have happened if he had received half of the votes from Tebet and Ciro. Leme said that Zema and Caiado should have withdrawn in the first round or that the votes from their supporters needed to be converted, and he stated that there were 48 hours left to seek. #Eleições2023 #Abstenção #Democracia (translated)

Kim Kataguiri stated that Flávio Bolsonaro attributed his withdrawal from a debate to censorship and interference from the judiciary but questioned the reasoning. According to Kataguiri, the podiums of Lula, Flávio, and Romeu Zema were empty during the Band debate, and Renan Santos went to Lula's podium and called him a thief. He asked why Flávio missed the debate and noted that the absence occurred after Renan's confirmation. Kataguiri also said that removing from the debates the candidate who, according to him, was in third place in the race would amount to censorship. He called Flávio a coward and stated that he would not have the ability to change the country, in addition to continuing to be a puppet of the centrão. #Censura #Debate #Política (translated)

Pensem comigo. “Fulano negocia apoio de partido tal do Centrão a Flávio no 2º turno…” Sabe qual impacto disso?! Zero! Apoio só faz efeito no 1º turno: Mais tempo de rádio e TV, e mais dinheiro! De resto, nada serve. Os deputados do centrão que apoiam Flávio já fazem no primeiro turno. Vai mudar naaaada. Conversa de partidos que querem levar vantagem. Sabe o que Tarcísio deu aos partidos em 2022?! Um muito muito obrigado. E só. Sabe quantas secretarias ele deu a partidários que não estavam na coligação?! Zero. PSDB, UNIÃO, MDB, etc, ficaram chupando dedo. Que Flávio não caia nessa conversa. Apoio de Centrão em 2º turno = impacto zero. Se quiserem apoiar, que façam espontaneamente, pelo bem do Brasil. #Política #Eleições2024 #Centrão
