Vinicios Betiol criticized the president of the PT, Edinho Silva, for advocating the resumption of bets and opposing the ban decreed by President Lula. According to Betiol, Silva deemed a transition period necessary. The author also stated that the position was presented while Silva was defending open list voting, which, in Betiol's assessment, would take away the voter's right to directly choose their candidates. Betiol called for the left to position itself against what he called bureaucrats, whom he blamed for the disastrous campaign in the first round. He stated that, after the grassroots helped elect Lula, party leaders were trying to impose agendas that they did not support. Betiol said he could be persecuted within the PT, but that he would continue the struggle for his commitment to the grassroots, and not with political leaderships that, according to him, prioritized personal projects. #Política #PT #Democracia (translated)
