Edinho Silva downplays Dino's impact on Lula after crisis
Edinho Silva, Lula's campaign coordinator, said Flávio Dino's candidacy does not affect the candidate. However, the day before, he admitted the crisis in the STF has damaged the campaign. The statements were made in interviews with the press.
The campaign coordinator of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Edinho Silva, said on Thursday that the view of minister Flávio Dino, of Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), does not affect the candidate. The declaration was given a day after Edinho himself acknowledged that the institutional crisis involving the Court had worn out the electoral campaign.
In a press interview, Edinho minimized the direct impact of Dino’s decision on Lula’s candidacy. The previous day, however, when speaking of the crisis in the Supreme Court in a broader way, Edinho recognized the electoral impact on the campaign. “We were in a very favorable electoral situation. This institutional crisis has come. It is undeniable that she hit our campaign, worn out our campaign,” he told GloboNews.
The speech exposes the tension between the punctual evaluation of Dino's performance and the recognition that the environment of instability in the Judiciary impairs the performance of the petista in the surveys. The source did not detail on what exact occasion the first statement was given, but the contrast between the two positions marks the campaign speech.
Understand Dino's decision on STF
The suspension of the discussion by Dino occurred in a discussion headed by the minister himself that overcame the merit of the report. He asked for the unified trial of André Mendonça and Moraes, and that the case pass by lot, coming out of the hands of the president, Edson Fachin.
Dino's move altered the procedural rite of a sensitive case, withdrawing Fachin's report and proposing redistribution by lot. The measure generated reactions in the legal and political environment, widening the perception of crisis between the Powers.
The source did not detail the specific content of the original report or the arguments of merit involved. It only confirmed that the point of order presented by Dino had procedural character and was addressed to the dean of the Court.
Order was forwarded to Gilmar Mendes
The request was addressed to Minister Gilmar Mendes. Dino explained that since the president would be involved in the controversy and Moraes, the vice president, was interested, the dean was the next one he could turn to. Gilmar was the head of the order.
In practice, Dino justified the referral to Gilmar by considering that Fachin and Moraes could not decide on the case due to possible conflicts of interest. The dean, being the oldest minister, would take over the analysis of the request.
The source did not say whether Gilmar Mendes had already spoken on the point of order or whether there was a deadline for a decision. The episode adds another chapter to the crisis of trust between the STF and the political environment.
Election impact worries campaign
The admission of Edinho Silva on the electoral wear and tear reveals internal concern about the effects of the institutional crisis on the presidential dispute. The statement to GloboNews indicates that the campaign evaluates that the issue can drive away undecided or moderate voters.
At the same time, the attempt to minimize the specific impact of Dino's sight suggests a strategy to contain damage and prevent the episode from being exploited by adversaries. The source did not detail whether there are internal surveys that support this assessment.
The contrast between Edinho’s speeches on consecutive days highlights the campaign’s effort to balance the recognition of the problem with the defense of Lula’s candidacy.
Repercussions and next steps
The crisis in the STF and its electoral unfoldings remain a central theme in political coverage. Dino’s decision and referral to Gilmar Mendes should guide further discussions in the coming days, with possible reactions from other ministers and political actors.
For the reader of Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais, the episode is interested in influencing the national scene and, consequently, the regional alliances and discourses. The source did not detail whether there is a direct impact on local candidates or on the Paraná electorate.
The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to monitor the unfolding of the institutional crisis and its effects on the electoral campaign. It is expected that further statements by Edinho Silva and STF ministers will occur in the coming days.
