Gilberto Kassab signals potential PSD alliance with Lula government
Gilberto Kassab, president of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), has indicated that his party may deepen its relationship with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s fourth administration. Following the recent presidential elections, Kassab noted that the Lula government has already contacted the PSD to discuss political support.
Kassab conditioned a formal alliance on the government adopting a centrist approach and implementing clear economic guidelines. He specifically advocated for a management team capable of ensuring fiscal stability, suggesting that Lula should appoint figures similar to Antonio Palocci and Henrique Meirelles to lead the economy. He emphasized the need for spending cuts, the reduction of subsidies, and the rejection of tax increases to attract foreign investment.
Regarding the election results, Kassab attributed Flávio Bolsonaro’s defeat to a strategy that divided the centrist electorate and criticized the opposition’s attempts to contest the integrity of electronic voting machines. He suggested that the bolsonarista movement faces potential isolation in Congress, though he noted that the Senate composition will remain a challenge for the administration.
