Marçal fala sobre chance de manter candidatura | #PoderExpresso

About: Run a presidential candidacy to strengthen the party and increase its caucus

"We are on Poder Expresso, the program's final hour, and we are going to talk now about the election, because in the last minutes of the deadline to register candidacies, last Saturday, the businessman and influencer Pablo Marçal, of PRTB, appeared in the Electoral Court's system as a presidential hopeful."

About: declare candidates with electoral convictions ineligible

"Marçal, however, is ineligible due to three different convictions here from the São Paulo Regional Electoral Court."

"He's the one we're speaking with now."

"Very good afternoon, Pablo Marçal."

"I'd like to start by asking you, sir,"

"because"

"you, in 2024, ran for mayor here in São Paulo and ended up in third place in that contest,"

"and you ended up stepping away"

"from politics — there was even a dispute over switching parties — but you returned to the news with the information that you registered your candidacy, even with these unfavorable rulings against you."

"My question is, you..."

"How have things been in the last few days?"

"Are you returning to the news and securing space to go back to selling courses, as you have done at other times?"

"Or do you have an actual political objective?"

"Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon."

"What's your name?"

"What's your name?"

"Natália."

"Hi, Natália."

"How are you?"

"Good afternoon."

About: maintain active political participation

"I haven't stepped away from politics."

"No—it's because I'm not a politician who holds office; I never assumed any position, so I didn't have to submit payroll records or show up any day talking about that."

"Elections take place every even-numbered year and I'm a Brazilian entrepreneur, investor, worker; I pay hundreds of millions in taxes with the dozens of companies I own and I'm here to serve."

"So, the thing about not being... Sometimes you don't see me around, like you're seeing me now only every two or three days."

"The reason the number of appearances is happening is that people are fed up."

"The people want something different."

"The people can't stand this PT curse in Brazil anymore, right?"

"About my candidacy, for those who don't know, I'm a jurist and I can explain it to the whole of Brazil."

"If you don't have the certificate, you can't register the DRAP."

"which is the registration that validates the candidacy."

About: ensure two-instance appeals in electoral cases

"The ineligibility is at the TRE and there are two more levels of appeal."

"Brazilian law provides for double defense and the adversarial process."

"We who talk with the offices at the Electoral Court, the Electoral Court should quickly give an answer on the question of ineligibility."

"Everything's fine with me."

"The question of speed may be..."

About: Judge candidates' ineligibilities swiftly and impartially

"But a response about your ineligibility should come."

"So my question is: what's the point of registering now, even knowing the tendency is to remain ineligible until at least 2032?"

About: Judge candidates' ineligibilities swiftly and impartially

"Did you report that the TSE opened the ineligibility?"

"for Lula as well, so he could spend public money at Carnival?"
