Dr. Furlan, the Mayor of Macapá, has transitioned from the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) to the Social Democratic Party (PSD), with the official announcement occurring on Tuesday, October 3rd, at the PSD's national headquarters in Brasília. The event was notably attended by PSD president Gilberto Kassab and Senator Lucas Barreto, both of whom acknowledged Furlan's significant contributions to the city and expressed confidence in the party's collaborative future in the Amapá region.

During the ceremony, Kassab warmly welcomed Furlan into the PSD, emphasizing the party's ongoing support for his administration in Macapá. He highlighted the commitment of the PSD to work alongside the people of Amapá for the betterment of the state. Senator Barreto also remarked that Furlan's affiliation would strengthen the PSD’s presence in Amapá, which may potentially enhance the party's influence and operational capacity in local governance.

Furlan expressed gratitude for the warm reception and reaffirmed his dedication to serving the community and making progressive contributions within his new political framework. This shift in political allegiance reflects not only personal ambitions but also the PSD's strategy to expand its influence in northern Brazil, especially in the context of upcoming electoral challenges. The implications of this move could resonate throughout the political landscape of Amapá as the dynamics of power continue to evolve in the region.
