The executive note avoids breaking with the government even after a harsh criticism of the defense of the amnesty
Public reactions PT PT in Mato Grosso to Sul on the statement of the governor Eduardo Riedel (PSDB), conducive to the amnesty of the accused undemocratic acts of January 8, 2023, may seem disconnected from the institutional position adopted by the party. While some parliamentarians pointed to the need to break with the state government, the statement issued by the state authorities on Monday (8) does not mention any movement in this respect.
The statement of the governor Eduardo Riedel (PSDB) regarding the amnesty accused of unadocratic acts of January 8 generated the reactions of PT Mato Grosso to Sul. While parliamentarians, such as Gleice Jane, defend breaks with the government, the PT state director issued a critical note, but not to mention the departure of the ruling base. The party, which held positions in the government since 2023, faces internal and external pressure, especially at the election approach in 2026 and the Riedel Association to the relevant leaders such as Jair Bolsonaro.
The reaction began after Riedel published on Sunday (7), in which the governor defended the “partial amnesty” against condemned deeds, accusing “humanitarian character” in some cases and demanding the Congress of Voting of this proposal. The content was published together with photos with the Tereza Senator Cristina (PP) and Governor São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), both allies Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
On the same day, the deputy of Gleice Jane (Fri) openly defended the break. “I confirm my position that PT can no longer compose this government,” he wrote.
A representative of the state to PT (PT) also rejected the governor’s speech, but he sees no reason for immediate departure. “The one who offered to us, recognizing the role he played in his choices. If he is not support for PT, he would not earn the worst, who was the candidate of Bolsonaro. That’s why this is recognition and we have no reason to give it up. If he wants, he who takes us,” he said.
Attention does not cite a break – The state director PT issued a statement in which he expressed “complete opposition” to Riedel’s demonstration. The text cites the party’s support for the governor in the second round of 2022 and accuses political coherence. Despite the critical tone, the document does not indicate a crack or immediate withdrawal of the ruling base.
“PT Mato Grosso to SUL confirms its historical and program involvement in democracy, and every path that does not indicate this purpose will not have our support,” says the note, which is future decisions about dialogue with the national direction and the political core of the federal government.
PT space in the government – Until now, PT continues to participate in the areas of state management. The party entrance to the base was formalized at the beginning of 2023, with the occupation of positions in strategic government structures. Maintaining these indications can help explain the most institutional tone of the contractor, in contrast to the statements of the parliamentary base.
Pressure should grow – Behind the scenes of the government, the presence of PT was seen as part of the voltage object. The proximity of the election in 2026 tends to increase this pressure.
One of the ways in which the governor himself runs a gradual and negotiated departure from the party, avoiding clear decisions. Another option would be to directly replace the nominees for PT if the party insists on stay.
Along with the image of Riedel, more and more related to the right national leaders, including the presence in the stands next to Jair Bolsonaro, the continuity of the current administrative composition can become politically unbalanced.
