Overview
- Flávio Bolsonaro announced PL support for Sérgio Moro and said the move followed information that the PSD plans to field Governor Ratinho Jr. for the presidency.
- PL president Valdemar Costa Neto said the party will back Moro for governor once he resolves his departure from União Brasil.
- Paraná Pesquisas reported in March that Moro leads first-round scenarios by roughly 20 points over Requião Filho.
- Joining the PL would also make it easier for Moro to choose Fiep president Edson Vasconcelos as his running mate, a preference previously resisted by the PP.
- Political analysts caution that Ratinho Jr.’s strong municipal networks and control in the state assembly could complicate Moro’s path despite his polling advantage.
