Renan Santos predicts Flávio's victory and will not support anyone
Renan Santos, candidate for the Missão presidential campaign, assessed that the result of the first round was below expectations and stated that the election is already Flávio Bolsonaro's. He declared he will not support any candidate in the second round and allowed the party's militants to decide how to act.
After the first round, Renan Santos, the presidential candidate of the Mission, said the result was below what he expected for his campaign and the party. He also assessed that "the election is already of the Flávio Bolsonaro". Speaking to supporters broadcast on social media, he said the fourth place was far from his expectations. Renan Santos made more than 2.6 million votes.
The candidate did not hide his frustration with the performance at the polls. In a direct speech, he classified the result as bad and pointed to the consequences for the political project of the Mission. The statement was made shortly after the confirmation of the numbers, in a tone of balance and self-criticism.
Outcome below expected
“The result is bad. We are not going to go beyond a barrier clause, we are going to have only one state deputy and one federal deputy in the same state. The result is not good, it is not good for the project, it is not good for what we were designing,” he said.
The speech highlights the dissatisfaction with the vote obtained by the party, which did not achieve the desired representativeness. The barrier clause, mentioned by Renan, is a mechanism that restricts access to TV resources and time for subtitles with low electoral performance. Despite the critical tone, the candidate continued to analyze the national political scenario.
No support in the second round
The candidate said he would not support either of the two names that advanced to the second round and released the Mission militants to choose how to act in the next stage of the dispute. “Does it make a difference? Do what you want. I have already warned you that I do not vote for a bandit, I do not recommend that anyone vote for a bandit. Do what you want. The election is already for Flávio Bolsonaro,” he said.
The neutrality decision marks a posture of distancing from the remaining candidates. Renan reinforced the individual freedom of the members of the movement, without imposing a partisan orientation. The statement also brought an assessment of Flávio Bolsonaro’s favoritism in the dispute.
Criticism and praise of Flavius
In the speech after the count, Renan stated that Flávio Bolsonaro performed better than his own father, “being nothing in terms of charisma and intelligence,” and said that the PL will build a “colossal” base in the country. The speech mixes personal criticism with recognition of the political capital of the candidate.
The candidate also declared that “there is no right in Brazil without Bolsonaro” and stated that members of the MBL who want to leave the group to support Bolsonaro will not face opposition from the movement. “Whoever is in our group and wants to leave, can go out and become a bolsonarista. I will repeat, there is no right (in Brazil) other than Bolsonaro.”
The declarations indicate a reading that bolsonarism has consolidated itself as a dominant force in the conservative field. Renan Santos, even without formal support, recognizes the hegemony of the political group led by the Bolsonaro family. The release of the militants reinforces the idea that there will be no retaliation to those who choose to support the candidate of the PL.
With the second round approaching, the posture of Renan Santos and the Mission may influence part of the electorate that identifies with right-wing guidelines, but does not automatically align with pocketarism. The outcome of the presidential election remains as the main theme of the national political news.
