The main coalition of center and right, led by the Party of Brazilian Social Democracy (PSDB), which presents as a candidate Jose, ffxiv gil, Serra, and his ally, the Democrats, is heading for a predictable dat in presidential elections and could reduce its presence in the Senate, where opposition has focused its work this year.
The opposition concentrated their attacks on Lula in the upper house because it lacked a strong leader who could deal directly to the charismatic former union, which ultimately has been, fallen earth chips for sale, a decisive factor in the campaign, according to analysts.
Together, the PSDB and the Democrats have 28 of the 81 senators, which is equivalent to a third of the upper house, and surveys indicate that these elections can go with a smaller representation.
Political analyst David Fleischer, a professor at the University of Brasilia (UnB), told that, darkfall gold, the opposition is wrong to assume a "radical approach" in the Senate and offer no alternatives, which has generated a "negative" image now Lula is exploding to "shoot down" candidates.
"The PSDB has a very serious problem, outside of Sao Paulo does not have strong leaders with national weight. (Former President) Fernando Henrique Cardoso attempt this role, but has a very negative image and the party would not accept him as boss, That has not been used in the campaign, "said Fleischer.
Serra himself, who until a few months ago was leading the presidential polls, has avoided up on behalf of the opposition until the last minute and delay the official announcement of his candidacy for the presidency to exasperate his party colleagues, which also "worsened his image "to the electorate.
Serra bell believed that favoritism that gave the polls would be enough to dat Dilma Rousseff, Lula's candidate, but did not have the official machinery, which has been around the electoral board.
During the campaign, the opposition has been lurching in its strategy, was first timid in their criticism of the current administration, then presented as the continuation and even used the image of Lula to ask for a vote.
"They tried to stick to Lula and did not work, then went on to criticize the PT and was worse (in the polls). Now they are rising cases of nepotism and corruption, which are ancients, in a move of desperation. The strategy has not been very good "trench the teacher of the UnB.
Serra, who played for the second time the presidency, has, according to surveys, 27% of the intention to vote, against nearly 50% of Rousseff of the Workers' Party (PT) and clear favorite.
Serra's electoral promises, which represents the most left wing of the PSDB, were in broad outline a carbon copy of the ruling, with which it agrees to put the emphasis on the need to invest in health, education and infrastructure.
The opposition candidate has committed to expand assistance programs that form the backbone of the government program, has promised to raise the minimum wage from 300 to 350 dollars, but an adjustmentgenerous than the left, and also announced a national program of urbanization of favelas.
He has also promised to create two new ministries, the Security and Disabled People, which would inflate the machinery of an executive who already has 32 portfolios and hinder his goal of cutting taxes and public spending.
The other main opposition candidate, Marina Silva, of the Partido Verde (PV), also has consistently shied away from confrontation with Lula and his government, which formed part as environment minister between 2003 and 2008.
The environmental training if it has alienated its proposals because it has any plan subject developmental care for the environment, an approach that seems that would guarantee 13% of the vote, according to recent polls.
He has also been more ambitious when considering the establishment of a constituent assembly to undertake a major tax reform and the political system, something that the vast majority of politicians say it is needed, but that is not reflected in either the program or the ruling political opponent. mp / joc / CJN
