Costa Neto, on Zema’s pre-candidacy: ‘I want to see the confusion that will happen in MG’

The national president of the Liberal Party, Valdemar Costa Neto, questioned the pre-candidacy of the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo), for the Palácio do Planalto, in an interview with the program Free Channelfrom the bandand suggested that the political scenario could become “messy”. At the time, Costa Neto had mentioned Zema when asked what his name would be as vice-president of senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), pre-candidate for the presidency of the Republic.

Next, he was asked about the position of the governor of Minas Gerais on not giving up his candidacy for Palácio do Planalto.

“I want to see the confusion that will happen there in Minas, because, if he is going to be a candidate, how are we going to support his candidate for governor?”, he asked. “I wanted to know how, if they will have another candidate for president of the Republic”, he added.

Afterwards, Costa Neto said he wants to fight for the votes of Minas Gerais in favor of Flávio. “We are not in a position to support a candidate who has another candidate for the presidency of the Republic, because we cannot lose a vote like in the last election, when we lost 1 million votes,” he said.

In the interview, Valdemar also mentioned senator Tereza Cristina (PP-MS) as a name for Flávio’s vice-presidency.
