When ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the party of toucans was “over”, he was wrong to increase resistance against him in the PSDB.
At the promotion of a book about letters he received in prison on Tuesday night, Lula said, “They arrested me thinking we would get weaker. The truth is, you got me out of jail much stronger than when I got out. They joined in. Did they think they were going to ban PT? A senator from PT once said, ‘PT. There was Jorge Bornhausen who said that ‘this disgrace of ‘ must end. PSDB is gone. PT remains strong, continues to grow and [é] A party that has managed to form the largest left front ever built in this country”.

One toucan, who was on the front line for PSDB members to support Lula in the first round, says PT “shot himself in the foot”.
Lula’s statement sounds arrogant and gives arguments to the toucans, who claim that the PT will always rival its leading role in the centre-left camp.
For Lula, who is trying to implement a strategy to win in the first round, a toucan does not win the vote with this type of statement. For example, it sounds arrogant and untimely, as it complicates the overt support of former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
banana peels
There is a consensus in the PT that Lula should not criticize Ciro Gomes and the PSDB. At this point in the campaign, I must also forget Sergio Moro and Lava Jato. It’s time to try to broaden support to beat Bolsonaro. Yesterday, Lula crossed the street to get on another banana peel.
