18 de abril de 2024Dilma Rousseff, chief minister to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Brazil’s president, was confirmed as presidential candidate for the leftwing Workers’ party (PT) at the weekend, ahead of elections to be held in October.
Many analysts say a government led by Ms Rousseff, long seen as Mr Lula da Silva’s chosen successor, would be further to the left than the present administration.
Brazil will hold presidential, congressional and gubernatorial elections in October.
In her speech accepting the nomination, made at the PT’s annual conference, Ms Rousseff said she would make no sudden change of direction.
“There will be no going backwards, no adventures,” she said. “But we could advance much more and much more quickly.”
Mr Lula da Silva, endorsing her candidacy, warned her to expect attacks from opposition parties labelling her a “statist”, but seemed also to call for a bigger role for the state in the economy.
“They’re going to say Dilma is a statist,” he said. “Be prepared. Not that that’s a bad thing. It’s good. Obviously you won’t want to nationalise tyre repair shops, bars and pizzerias. But [about] things that are strategic, that aren’t working and need to be put to work better, we must not be afraid of taking decisions that are important for our country.”
The PT also launched its programme for government on Saturday, including a new wealth tax and support for a proposed national human rights charter that includes measures to strengthen Brazil’s already rigid labour laws.
However, in recent public statements Mr Lula da Silva has stressed the distinction between what a party proposes and what its candidate does in office. His own government has stood in stark contrast to several ideas supported by the PT and has kept in place the orthodox macroeconomic policies of his centrist predecessor. Yet he has also called for a bigger role for public companies in the electricity and telecommunications sectors.
Campaigning for October’s elections begins officially on July 6 and Ms Rousseff is the first candidate to be formally declared.
The main opposition party, the centrist PSDB, has yet to name its candidate. José Serra, the PSDB governor of São Paulo state, appeared to take to the pre-campaign trail during last week’s carnival celebrations. But he has frustrated many in his party by refusing to declare his candidacy and may yet back down if Ms Rousseff continues to erode his lead in opinion polls.
Others who have said they will run include Marina Silva, formerly Mr Lula da Silva’s environment minister, expected to stand for the Green party. Ciro Gomes, formerly a minister in Mr Lula da Silva’s and his predecessor’s governments, is also expected to run on a leftwing ticket.
