PP Blocks Moro in Paraná as Centrão Keeps Flávio Bolsonaro at Arm’s Length

Overview

• PP’s Paraná directory unanimously vetoed Sergio Moro’s gubernatorial bid, with Ciro Nogueira moving to realign the federation toward Ratinho Júnior’s project and citing an exodus of roughly 60 mayors and two federal deputies.
• União Brasil president Antônio Rueda publicly insisted on homologating Moro as the party’s pre-candidate and called PP’s veto arbitrary, while Moro echoed a call for dialogue rather than imposed bans.
• Ciro Nogueira said the right’s presidential choice cannot be decided solely by the PL, questioning Flávio Bolsonaro’s viability and again pointing to governors Tarcísio de Freitas and Ratinho Júnior as unifying options.
• A meeting Flávio Bolsonaro sought with party chiefs to consolidate support was postponed after poor attendance, as leaders adopt caution and the senator links any withdrawal to approval of sweeping amnesty demands.
• União Brasil is airing a national spot elevating Ronaldo Caiado on public security, and PSD’s Gilberto Kassab revived talks with Ratinho Júnior, underscoring Centrão efforts to weigh alternatives before formal endorsements.
