I had no partisan problem whatsoever; everyone wanted there to be a candidacy of our own.
But the reflection I made, and that everyone made and everyone agreed with, is that my position as president of the Senate and as president of the National Congress, at a turbulent moment like the one Brazil is experiencing, with these difficulties, including this need to affirm democracy itself, was not something on which we could be spending energy at this stage to defend in Brazil.
That moment, in fact, demanded that we separate.
the electoral-political interest from the need for institutional defense.
So, in order not to bring the electoral contest into the Senate, into the presidency of the Senate, so that my statements — all of them — in defense of the Congress, in defense of democracy, in defense of the rule of law, would be seen and perceived as institutional positions of someone impartial who wants the best for Brazil and who is not pursuing an electoral interest.
