Edinho Silva stated that Jaques Wagner's permanence as government leader in the Senate will be decided after a dialogue with President Lula.
PT national president Edinho Silva declared in an interview with the program VEJA em Foco that the decision on Jaques Wagner (PT-BA) remaining as government leader in the Senate depends on a direct conversation with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Silva reiterated the party's confidence in the senator and defended the presumption of innocence after the Federal Police operation in the Banco Master case on June 18. He stated that the episode has no connection to the Lula government.
The PT leader emphasized that the cases involving Wagner and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro are extremely different, citing the absence of audios showing intimacy between Lula and Daniel Vorcaro.
