The national president of the PSD party, Gilberto Kassab, stated that he does not understand the preventive detention of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL). According to him, the measure is “severe and unjust,” especially at a time when the former president’s health “is a cause for concern.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happened? For Kassab, the arrest “is another sad episode in this turbulent period of Brazilian politics.” Like other Bolsonaro allies, the politician used social media to criticize the decision of Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The arrest of President Bolsonaro is another sad episode in this turbulent period of Brazilian politics. I express my incomprehension at such a severe and unjust legal measure, especially when his health is a cause for concern. My solidarity with President Bolsonaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison by the Supreme Federal Court (STF). However, the appeals process is still underway, and the defense has until Monday to file further appeals. He was under house arrest and wearing an electronic ankle monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Bolsonaro in jail, Kassab advocates for a united right wing in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The national president of the PSD stated yesterday that the governor of S\u00e3o Paulo, Tarc\u00edsio de Freitas (Republicans), is the most competitive candidate. According to him, the PSD’s presidential hopefuls\u2014Governors Ratinho J\u00fanior (PR) and Eduardo Leite (RS)\u2014will withdraw their candidacies if Tarc\u00edsio enters the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have two hopefuls, Governor Ratinho J\u00fanior and Governor Eduardo Leite, and both will withdraw their candidacies if Governor Tarc\u00edsio becomes the candidate. Therefore, the PSD has the matter settled.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have two hopefuls, Governor Ratinho J\u00fanior and Governor Eduardo Leite, and both will withdraw their candidacies if Governor Tarc\u00edsio becomes the candidate. Therefore, the PSD has the matter settled.” Gilberto Kassab, to CNN<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kassab had already been arguing that Tarc\u00edsio represents the main leader of the new political generation. For him, the presence of the governor of S\u00e3o Paulo in the presidential race could consolidate a center-right front capable of challenging President Lula (PT) in the next elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
