BRASÍLIA – The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), announced this Wednesday that the candidate chosen by his bloc to run for the presidency of the Chamber next year is Baleia Rossi (MDB-SP).

He cited the broad front of subtitles attached on the block. He said that with the union between the center and the left, there is a “total prospect” of victory.
Baleia Rossi is president of the MDB. In a meeting earlier this Wednesday, the PT deputies expressed their opposition to the election of Baleia due to the role of the BMD in the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff in 2016. Dilma herself spoke out against the name, as well as against Fernando Haddad.
Even so, the PT bench in the House decided not to veto Whale. Some of the deputies defend launching a PT candidate for the dispute, even as part of the Maia bloc. The leaders of the other acronyms, however, believe that the PT will eventually give in. As part of the bloc, the PT will be entitled to the vice presidency of the Chamber if the parties are victorious.
Whale is in his second term as a federal deputy. Before that, he served three terms as a state deputy in São Paulo.

The deputy is the son of the former deputy and former minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, Wagner Rossi. In the last two years he has acted as the author of one of the tax reform proposals that are being processed in the Chamber.
In October 2019, he assumed the presidency of the BMD preaching the banner of the renewal of the party. He is also the leader of the BMD in the Chamber.

In recent weeks, Baleia Rossi has received requests from MDB senators, such as Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), to withdraw from the candidacy. They advocated giving up the House candidacy to strengthen a BMD name in the Senate. The BMD president, however, chose to treat the two disputes separately.
