“The PL/PP/Republicans block gives political muscle to Rogério Marinho who wants to rescue the independence and protagonism of the Federal Senate, if elected”, declared the note.

Costa Neto articulated backstage support, in addition to the PL, the Republicans and the PP for Marinho. Marinho’s main opponent is the current President of the House, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), favorite in the race. So far, the current president of the Senate has the support of seven parties: PSD, PT, Rede, Cidadania, PSB, Pros and PDT.

In a note released by the president of Progressistas do Rio Grande do Sul, Celso Bernardi, the state directory of the acronym also highlighted its support for the candidacy of Rogério Marinho (PL-RN) for the presidency of the Senate, in addition to emphasizing its position of opposition to the president’s government of the Republic Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. “We respect the result of the ballot boxes and they are what define this position. The winners govern, the losers make opposition”, highlighted Bernardi in the text. According to the party leader, “this should be demonstrated with the election of the valiant colleague and leader Arthur Lira as mayor”, in addition to pointing out, “for consistency” the need to vote for Marinho.
