Citizenship is irritated with the leader of the PSDB and is considering launching a candidate for the SP Government

The Cidadania party is considering running its own candidate for the governorship of São Paulo after being dissatisfied with the withdrawal of Paulo Serra, president of the state branch of the PSDB, from the race. Serra had previously been seen as the likely candidate for the PSDB alliance but has now decided to run for federal deputy instead. This decision has frustrated other candidates within the same coalition, particularly those who hoped Serra would attract votes for their group or were opposed to Governor Tarcísio de Freitas. Some members of Cidadania claim Serra acted selfishly by stepping down, while others suggest he had already negotiated with Tarcísio for positions at the Fundação Casa. Serra denies these claims and states that Cidadania was the one who reached agreements with Tarcísio. The leadership of Cidadania is exploring potential candidates such as former councilwoman Soninha Francine and federal deputy Alex Manente, which could limit Serra’s ability to support Tarcísio. According to the latest Datafolha poll for the state governor's race, Serra received 5% of voter intentions.

The PSDB and Citizenship in SP are facing a crisis in the run-up to the elections

The federal alliance between the PSDB and Cidadania parties in São Paulo is facing internal conflict ahead of the upcoming election. The alliance must decide whether to field its own candidate for governor or support the re-election of current Governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos). Internal discussions suggest that leaders from Cidadania have not fully supported PSDB president Paulo Serra’s candidacy for governor and have instead shown willingness to back Freitas. Meanwhile, Cidadania leaders accuse Serra of abandoning his gubernatorial bid to secure support for Freitas, in exchange for appointments at the Fundação Casa. As a result, Cidadania leadership is considering running its own candidate, with potential names including Alex Manente and former councilwoman Soninha Francine.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both perspectives within the political alliance—accusations from Cidadania leaders against PSDB members and vice versa—without overtly favoring one side. It reports on internal disagreements without editorializing or using biased language, maintaining a balanced tone.

Moro strengthens partnership with Tarcísio in campaign and wants to copy health program

Senator Sergio Moro, a pre-candidate for the governorship of Paraná, plans to adopt policies implemented by Tarcísio de Freitas, the governor of São Paulo, including a modified version of the Tabela SUS Paulista, which pays higher rates for medical procedures than national standards. This approach has reportedly increased surgeries, exams, and consultations in São Paulo, with a notable 30% rise in breast surgeries between 2022 and 2025. Moro intends to emphasize collaboration between states during his campaign and may propose joint events. He is running with support from Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who is seeking the presidency, and recently contributed to shaping Bolsonaro’s security plan.
