Mateus Simões: Subsequently, Carlos Viana's arrival was a decision of the party, but obviously it was discussed with me at the end there, and I received it with great calm.
Mateus Simões: Viana represents the fight against corruption in a very firm way in the last 12, 13 months, since we had the installation of the CPMI and of the INSS, and that is a banner I think is important to defend, including in confronting attempts by the STF and other parliamentarians to thwart investigations.
So he represents what I like to see working in politics.
Mateus Simões: I brought the União and PP because they are the largest federation, and I tried until the end to bring PL and the Republicans, because in my view, since PL and the Republicans governed with us, they should be walking with me.
Mateus Simões: They were part of the government, had secretariats or participated indirectly in our government.
