Romeu Zema, pré-candidato do partido Novo à Presidência da República, recentemente afirmou que "nunca foi próximo" do senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), outro pré-candidato à Presidência. A declaração ocorreu após Zema ter sido cotado no início do ano como possível vice de Flávio em sua campanha eleitoral. Durante uma entrevista à rádio CBN Recife, Zema explicou que, embora tenha mantido uma relação próxima com o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, não teve contato significativo com Flávio. Ele destacou que apoiou Jair Bolsonaro em 2022 e que seu governo em Minas Gerais beneficiou os mineiros, mas ressaltou que não teve interações substanciais com o senador.
Zema também voltou a criticar a relação entre Flávio e Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, que foi preso por suspeita de liderar um esquema de fraudes financeiras. O ex-governador de Minas Gerais classificou o episódio como um "tapa na cara", gerando tensão entre o Novo e o PL, partidos que normalmente atuam como aliados em vários estados. A situação se intensificou após a revelação, em maio, por parte do site The Intercept Brasil, de que Flávio teria negociado R$ 134 milhões em investimentos de Vorcaro para financiar um filme sobre a vida de Jair Bolsonaro. O senador confirmou o pedido, mas negou qualquer irregularidade, afirmando que a relação era privada e baseada em um investimento com retorno esperado.
Após a revelação dos áudios, Zema intensificou suas críticas, afirmando que quem se associa a "bandidos" merece ser observado com cuidado. Ele também rejeitou a ideia de que sua atitude pudesse causar desgaste político, insistindo que sua posição permaneceria inalterada. No entanto, diante do impasse, Zema reduziu o tom de suas críticas e demonstrou disposição para manter a união da direita contra o PT, mesmo com as divergências com Flávio.
O desentendimento entre Zema e Flávio Bolsonaro teve consequências políticas significativas. O diretório do Novo em Santa Catarina decidiu desconvidar Zema de um evento do partido, acusando-o de prejudicar a imagem do grupo e a união da direita. O diretório catarinense do Novo argumentou que a prioridade no momento é a convergência das forças de direita para formar uma alternativa forte contra o governo federal. A legenda alertou que, sem mudanças na estratégia de comunicação de Zema, poderia se posicionar contra a indicação dele como candidato à Presidência.
Zema, por sua vez, evitou ampliar o conflito e adotou um tom conciliador, destacando que a direita precisa estar unida no segundo turno das eleições. Ele também minimizou os impactos da crise sobre a relação entre o Novo e o PL, afirmando que a parceria entre os partidos está sólida e provavelmente continuará nos próximos meses.
O ex-deputado federal Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), irmão de Flávio, defendeu um "rompimento geral" entre o PL e o Novo após as críticas de Zema ao senador. Eduardo acusou Zema de querer substituir Flávio e sugeriu que o PL rompesse todas as alianças com o Novo. Zema rebateu a acusação, afirmando que Eduardo "vestiu a carapuça" e que sua crítica a Flávio era legítima e baseada em princípios éticos.
Paralelamente, Eduardo Bolsonaro defendeu a candidatura da deputada federal Júlia Zanatta (PL-SC) como vice de Flávio, alegando que ela poderia atrair eleitores de centros e ampliar o alcance da chapa. No entanto, a cúpula do PL mostrou-se dividida sobre a escolha, com algumas figuras dentro do partido considerando que Zanatta seria mais eficaz para atrair eleitores de centros, enquanto outras preferem nomes como a senadora Tereza Cristina (PP-MS), que tem maior capacidade de diálogo com o agronegócio e o eleitorado de centro.
A pressão sobre Flávio para definir seu vice cresceu, especialmente com a convenção do PL marcada para 25 de julho em São Paulo. O partido busca evitar qualquer ruído que possa atrapalhar a pré-candidatura de Flávio, incluindo a indisciplina de Eduardo Bolsonaro. Enquanto isso, Zema segue com sua campanha, buscando manter a unidade da direita e preparar-se para o segundo turno, onde espera confrontar o PT. A relação entre Zema e Flávio, contudo, permanece complexa, com ambas as partes mantendo suas posições e buscando equilibrar interesses políticos e éticos.
