Hello, good evening to you.
Desconhecido
Today's Canal Livre continues with our special election coverage.
Desconhecido
And shall we put our trademark on the air?
Desconhecido
You hear that jingle and you already know: elections are here on Band.
Desconhecido
Today we welcome one of the most experienced names in national politics, with positions in both the executive and the legislative branches.
Desconhecido
It was here on Band, in the 1989 debate, that he emerged into public life.
Desconhecido
And almost 40 years later, he is attempting once again to run for the Planalto (Presidential Palace).
Desconhecido
The challenge?
- Neutral

About: break the polarization in the presidential race
To become electorally viable and break the polarization between President Lula and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.

With us tonight is the former governor of Goiás and PSD pre-candidate for president, Ronaldo Caiado.
Desconhecido
Thank you very much, Governor, for being with us.
I appreciate it very much, Adriana.
To Fernando, to Felipe, to Mitre, it's a pleasure to return here once more and really bring back memories from 37 years ago, when we were here doing the first debate for the presidential election.
It was a special moment.
From there I went on to be a federal deputy, senator, governor and now, with much experience, returning to the debate, God willing.
winning the election in 2026.
Desconhecido
And the Governor has already introduced who is with me here on this Canal Livre panel: as always, Fernando Mitri, journalist Felipe Vieira, and political scientist Fernando Schiller are participating in this interview.
Desconhecido
Governor, before we start, I would like to... ask you to follow with us the numbers from the IDEA survey released this week, on May 6.
Desconhecido
In the May 6 survey, President Lula had 40% of the first-round voting intentions.
Desconhecido
And now, in the survey released this week, Lula is at 38.5%.
Desconhecido
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro fell from 36 to 31.5%.
Desconhecido
And following them, you, Ronaldo Caiado, appear with 5.5%.
Desconhecido
Romeu Zema with 2.4% and Renan Santos with 2.1%.
Desconhecido
Governor, this drop of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro recorded by Instituto IDEA was also recorded by the latest Atafolha survey.
Desconhecido
What I wanted to ask you is why, despite the accusation against the senator of involvement with banker Daniel Vurcaro — including having visited the banker while he was already wearing an electronic ankle monitor, a serious accusation not yet fully clarified — why, even with that accusation and with Flávio's decline, did the voter not look to your name or to Romeu Zema's, who in the polls practically stagnated?
- Neutral
About: increase voters' knowledge about the candidates
First, Adriana, because we are not known.
I am unknown to nearly 50% of the population.
First point.
Second, no one really has a recall of who is in the presidency of the Republic.
which is Lula and the PT.
for five terms.
Now, we cannot deny here the prestige of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
In reality.
So, what is the voter's objective at this moment?
- Neutral
About: defeat PT
He wants to defeat Lula.
That is the objective.
About: defeat PT
So he now sees that, beyond defeating Lula, he needs someone who can win the elections and who knows how to govern, so that the PT never returns.
Because we won in 2018.
So you say, but why don't voters still turn their eyes to you?
