This is not the first time the leader has used the term. On February 5, in the party’s 46th anniversary, Edinho Silva had already advocated that the PT present itself as anti-system in the 2026 elections, arguing that the population is disappointed with representative democracy.

The statements coincide with the beginning of the party’s electoral mobilization.
