New president of the PT says he will fight to have União-PP Federation with Lula in 2026

Elected national president of the PT last month, Edinho Silva said on Saturday that the party will perform acts throughout Brazil on September 7 focusing on defending national sovereignty and criticism of the tariff imposed by the government of Donald Trump to Brazilian products.

Edinho stated that the “awareness” of the people in relation to the economic restrictions applied to the Brazilian government is fundamental to the electoral process of 2026. Still on the political dispute, he said that President Lula will try to keep the parties of the PP-Union Federation at the Government base to rely on stands in stands next year.

– We call everyone for the September 7 mobilization, to support a sovereign Brazil. We want a national September 7, occurring in all states. Each directory will articulate its act, ”he said.

In publicizing a party resolution that advocates the measures adopted by the government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva regarding US economic measures, Edinho said it focused on creating a broad front of support for next year. He defended the expansion of the PT-PCDOB-PV Federation again, a theme that is controversial within the party.

Edinho also argued that Finance Minister Fernando Haddad is a candidate in Sao Paulo in the 2026 elections to help – with a stage at the country’s largest electoral college – Lula in an attempt to reelect the Planalto Palace.

– We are clear that the next elections will demand a lot from the PT and allied parties, so our main leaders will have to fulfill electoral role. We have a lot to advance in conversations, but not only Minister Fernando Haddad, but all other leaders will have to have this mission in 2026 – he said.

About the narrowing between the PP-Union Federation with right leaders., The Dirgent said he wants the parties at the base of the president in 2026.

At the head of four ministries in the Lula administration and, at the same time, with openly opposition parliamentarians and leaders, União Brasil and PP formalized the Federation Critic to Federal Management, but without giving up the occupied space.

“Let’s keep dialoguing with these leaders, President Lula will continue to dialogue and call them to talk about these contradictions.” Let’s dispute these leaders to the end if they want to be in our stands will be welcome. The contradiction is not in our field. They entered our government and indicated ministries. If the leaders are creating contradictions, at some point they will have to make choices. We will work so that the choice is to be with us, ”he concluded.
