Moro Joins PL to Run for Paraná Governor as 'Lava Jato' Slate Takes Shape

The move rallies the state's right behind Flávio Bolsonaro with a hard-line anti-corruption message.

Overview

  • Sergio Moro, who formally entered the Liberal Party during a Curitiba event Tuesday, launched his pre-candidacy for Paraná governor alongside Flávio Bolsonaro.
  • Deltan Dallagnol said he will run for the Senate with Novo and noted he is eligible, citing a 2023 electoral court ruling that revoked his House seat but did not bar him from running.
  • Outlining a coordinated ticket, Moro named industry leader Edson Vasconcelos as his vice-governor pick and pointed to Filipe Barros (PL) and Dallagnol (Novo) as the coalition’s Senate choices while signaling support for Flávio Bolsonaro for president.
  • Moro accused President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of siding with criminals and questioned the legitimacy of his election, and Dallagnol vowed to press Banco Master investigations toward what he called the country’s “supreme corruption,” saying probes should reach the judiciary.
  • The PL event also featured Rosângela Moro’s filiation and a push to revive the Lava Jato brand, with Estadão detailing the party choreography, Poder360 spotlighting Dallagnol’s plan to target the courts in the Banco Master case, and O Antagonista amplifying the hard-edged attacks on Lula and the PT.
