PL defines support for Moro for the Government of Paraná
The PL party has announced its support for Senator Sergio Moro's candidacy for the Government of Paraná, aligning with the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the state.
The PL party in Brazil has officially decided to support Senator Sergio Moro from União Brasil in his candidacy for the Government of Paraná. This decision aims to help create a strong platform for the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the region. The announcement came after a meeting on Wednesday between Moro, who currently leads in voting intention polls, and the party's leadership, highlighting that the alignment is strategic for the upcoming elections.
Valdemar Costa Neto, the president of the PL, expressed confidence in Moro's candidacy and mentioned that while Moro will primarily run for União Brasil, there is a possibility of him joining the PL, especially as they seek to consolidate their efforts. During the meeting, Moro was expected to confer with the União Brasil-PP federation to finalize his party affiliation. The PL is also planning to run Deputy Filipe Barros in the Senate alongside Moro, indicating a coordinated effort to strengthen their political presence in Paraná.
Amidst the political landscape, Costa Neto emphasized the need for unity within the party to secure a first-round election win for Moro, warning that failure to solidify this support could have dire consequences for their political future, especially in light of the current governor, Ratinho Jr., who is considered a formidable opponent in the elections. The support for Moro signals a significant strategic move for the PL as they navigate the competitive political dynamics in Paraná ahead of the elections.
