18 de abril de 2024Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva Thursday denied any political crisis in the Workers’ Party (PT) after a heavyweight shifted her allegiance.
Speculations on a crisis in the party are brewing after Senator and former Environment Minister Marina Silva, one of the PT’s oldest members, announced she was leaving the party to join the Green Party.
Lula said his relations with Silva will not change, and anyone who is not comfortable in the party is free to leave.
“Everybody knows that my relationship with Marina goes beyond parties. I have known her for 30 years,” said Lula, adding that despite the loss of Senator Silva, the Workers’ Party remains strong.
Meanwhile, Senator Flavio Airns announced that he is leaving PT because the party has gone against its ethics by voting to shelve several nepotism denouncements against senate chief Jose Sarney.
Senator Aloizio Mercadante also said on Thursday that he will step down as PT’s leader in the Senate. Mercadante will meet with Lula before officially leave, but has stated that his decision is irrevocable.
