Since Thursday 29th, Leite has received in Porto Alegre the governors Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP), Romeu Zema (Novo-MG), Ratinho Júnior (PSD-MG), Cláudio Castro (PL-RJ) and Jorginho Mello (PL – SC). It was the first time that Cosud met after the event called by former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in Avenida Paulista last Sunday, the 25th, which brought together hundreds of thousands of people.

Although they deny that Cosud has a political bias, the governors are allies of Bolsonaro and opponents of the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). The exceptions are Renato Casagrande (PSB-ES) and Eduardo Leite himself. The Gaucho has distanced itself from Bolsonarism in recent years, but is critical of the PT government and is seeking to establish itself nationally as a third-way option.

“I respect Mayor Ricardo Nunes. His work begins with the PSDB, also with Mayor Bruno Covas. But there was a choice of a path of association precisely with Bolsonaro, which diverges, clashes, with what the PSDB seeks to represent, an alternative in this national political context,” Leite told the newspaper The globe.
