Senator Sergio Moro announced his intention to leave the União Brasil party and officially join the PL, led by Valdemar Costa Neto and Jair Bolsonaro, to run for the governor of Paraná. This decision was made after meetings in Brasília with party officials, and an official ceremony to finalize the affiliation is expected in the capital. Moro's shift to the PL indicates a significant political realignment in relation to the current governance in Paraná.

The move to join the PL marks a departure from his previous alliance with Governor Ratinho Junior of the PSD party, who is also a candidate for the presidency this year. The PL backed Paulo Martins as vice for Eduardo Pimentel, a candidate aligned with Ratinho Junior, who won the municipal elections in Curitiba. This suggests that Moro's political strategy not only positions him for the governor's race but also represents a broader shift in alliances within the state’s political landscape.

Flávio Bolsonaro, a senator from Rio de Janeiro and presidential hopeful for the PL, expressed support for Moro, emphasizing their shared values and understanding of Brazil's current challenges. This endorsement highlights the strategic importance of Moro's candidacy for both the PL and its efforts to expand influence in Paraná, particularly as the state prepares for significant elections in the near future.
