Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has issued a warning that he may support fellow Senator Sergio Moro in the upcoming gubernatorial election in Paraná, should current Governor Ratinho Jr. decide to run for the presidency. This maneuver seems to strengthen Moro's position as he grapples with difficulties in securing candidacy under his current party, União Brasil. The possible coalition could unravel the existing arrangement between Ratinho Jr. and the PL party, raising tensions as both parties have scheduled discussions to seek a resolution after the Carnival festivities.

Governor Ratinho Jr. has recently taken a break, with his return planned for February 25, while Flávio Bolsonaro is on an international trip to meet with right-wing leaders, indicating a busy political calendar ahead. The dynamics surrounding this potential collaboration are further complicated by prior agreements that the PL party had established, which included an understanding to endorse Ratinho Jr.'s successor in return for political positioning for Deputy Filipe Barros in the Senate race. Currently, Guto Silva, secretary for Cities, has emerged as a strong candidate for succession.

The implications of these negotiations could significantly impact the political landscape in Paraná. If Flávio Bolsonaro proceeds with his threats, it could not only disrupt the PL's relationship with Ratinho Jr. but also alter the power balance leading into the next presidential elections. The shifting alliances within Brazilian politics highlight the complex interplay of personal ambitions, party loyalty, and the tactical moves necessary for survival ahead of major electoral contests.
