In the convention that confirmed his candidacy for re-election as mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes (PSD), set the tone for a campaign in which the favoritism indicated by the polls should not translate into calm debates.
In response to criticism regarding public safety, especially from right-wing deputies and councilors, Paes said that it is “unacceptable” that the mayor is assigned functions that belong to the state government, of Cláudio Castro (PL), to which the criticism is linked. The PL will formalize the candidacy of former delegate and federal deputy Alexandre Ramagem on Monday 22.
“From now on Dudu Paz e Amor will go on vacation. I can’t stand that people talk about me without responding. Now, what hits here, will hit there too,” Paes told supporters and supporters of allied parties.
“It is unacceptable that (opponents) come to me and ask me about the functions they perform in the state government. They think people are stupid. They are part of the state government, which appoints the police chiefs. These people have been in charge of the state for six years. What is this talk? Fulfill your role, return the monopoly of force to the state,” he said, anticipating the tone he will have to adopt in the campaign on the issue of public safety.
Paes also reiterated that he intends to pay greater attention to the city’s poor population, highlighted the recovery of the city hall’s accounts and praised at length the deputy Pedro Paulo (PSD), who occupied the municipal treasury and could be chosen as vice president, as well as the recovery of the BRT bus system and the coverage of family counseling centers.
And, without fearing the nationalization of the controversy – one of the strategies of Ramagem’s campaign, supported by former President Jair Bolsonaro –, Paes once again cited his good relations with President Lula.
“There is nothing I would ask of Lula for Rio that he would not do. President Lula has a special affection for Rio and we will continue to work together.”
The mayor of Rio also wanted to highlight the plurality of alliances signed so far and, even outside of them, the good relations with politicians such as the federal deputy Otoni de Paula, of the MDB, who went to the conference and expressed his support. to Paes, even without the force of legend. According to Paes, this broad dialogue is a response to the detractors of politics, “those who think that politics should be reduced”.
