Requião will talk about ‘joys and disappointments’ in a book about PT – 02/03/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

Former governor of Paraná and former senator Roberto Requião (PT) is preparing a book about his political trajectory and his long-standing relationship with the Workers’ Party —which should not be spared from criticism.

“They have to worry about the nonsense they do, not what I’m going to write,” he tells the column, laughing. “I want to tell my political story, my mistakes and my successes, the alliances I made, the successes, the joys and the disappointments”, he continues.

LITTLE SNACK

A former emedebist, Requião joined the PT in March last year and promoted Lula’s candidacy in the state of Paraná. Before that, he made his residence available to political leaders who visited the PT in prison, in Curitiba. On these occasions, he would offer them bread with mortadella, a dish that has become associated with the left in recent years.

Since Lula arrived at the Planalto for his third term, however, the former senator has been displeased with the new government’s choices.

In January of this year, for example, Requião said he felt disrespected with an invitation made by the president of the PT, Gleisi Hoffmann, for him to assume a position on the board of the Itaipu hydroelectric plant. He classified the offer as a “golden sinecure” in which he would earn “R$ 27,000 a month doing nothing”.

This week, with the re-election of Arthur Lira (PP-AL) and Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG) to the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate, respectively, the former senator returned to criticize.

HOSTAGE

“I am very upset with the election of the Chamber and the Senate. Lula will not be held hostage by Lira and Pacheco, he will be held hostage by the system. election [do Congresso]. I think it’s terrible, a brutal mistake”, he says to the column. “But that’s an analysis for the end of the story [que será contada no livro]”, he says further.

RETREAT

To write the book, which should be called “Eu e o PT – Erros e Acertos”, Requião says he is thinking of going to Balneário Camboriú (SC), where he has a house, in order to focus on writing the work. The volume will feature images taken in recent years by photographer and journalist Eduardo Matysiak.
