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.

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.
Desconhecido
I'd like to start by asking you, sir,
Desconhecido
because
Desconhecido
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
Desconhecido
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.

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.

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.
Desconhecido
We who talk with the offices at the Electoral Court, the Electoral Court should quickly give an answer on the question of ineligibility.
Desconhecido
Everything's fine with me.

The question of speed may be...

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?
