The PSD party is strategizing to navigate the tense political landscape in Brazil regarding the vice-presidential spot currently held by Felício Ramuth. As tensions rise with the PL party exerting pressure for a PL candidate to be chosen for the vice role, a source within the PSD revealed that Governor Tarcísio de Freitas is feeling the heat from Valdemar da Costa Neto, suggesting a growing discomfort with the situation. This potential discontent could be a turning point in the ongoing negotiations for the vice-presidential candidacy.

Currently, Felício Ramuth from the PSD occupies the vice presidency and is keen on remaining in that position alongside Tarcísio. However, the internal dynamics are shifting as Gilberto Kassab, the president of the national PSD, is also vying for the vice role. The possibility of Kassab being chosen adds another layer of complexity to the negotiations, as party alliances and aspirations are increasingly at stake.

The pressure is amplifying not only from Valdemar da Costa Neto but also from local political figures, including state deputies who have rallied to advocate for the appointment of André do Prado from PL as vice. This development indicates a tactical maneuvering by PL to assert their influence over the vice selection process, making it imperative for Tarcísio to address both party expectations and the commitment to his current allies.
