Back in São Paulo, João Doria asked “apologies to those who imagined that I was leaving the city or state of São Paulo, after restrictive measures, to enjoy a comfortable life with fewer restrictions in Miami.”
Whoever makes a mistake and does not give his arm to twist, makes two mistakes. Therefore, apologies are always better than negligence. In politics, however, when the error is paramount when the flight crashes and returns from Doria to Miami, self-criticism does not erase what happened.
The fiasco is recorded in the history of the politician who commits it like a tattoo, whose lines the opponents will be responsible for highlighting at crucial moments.
Doria said that “many months ago” he had scheduled “two conferences in Florida.” In combination with Bia, his wife, he fitted the lectures into a ten-day break. Beauty.
However, for every way you do something wrong, there are always dozens of excuses for not doing it. In Doria’s case, one would suffice: the intensification of the pandemic.
Days ago, the Great Toucan Fernando Henrique Cardoso stated that Doria will have to “nationalize” to have any chance in the 2022 presidential race. It is true. However, there is a previous challenge: the governor needs to recover the city of São Paulo, perhaps the state.
In the very recent municipal election, the toucan Bruno Covas was re-elected mayor of the São Paulo capital, hiding Doria. And he had his reasons: according to Datafolha, 61% of voters in São Paulo said they would not vote for a candidate supported by Doria.
It is due to the rejection of another tattoo registered in the biography of the character: the abandonment in the middle of the mayor’s term, to run for the Palácio dos Bandeirantes. Doria was elected governor. But the pain of the capital electorate persists.
Rest is a sacrosanct right for anyone. But a governor cannot travel abroad as a tourist after locking the state at home. Under red alert, Doria must rest behind the walls of his mansion.
A child was missing from the governor’s residence. Any five-year-old would have yelled upon witnessing Doria and Bia’s departure, “Up there! Unpack immediately. That doesn’t make any sense. It’s going to be bad.”
Respect for the community is something that should be natural for a politician aiming to reach the plateau, as natural as fish scales. Lack of sensitivity produces indelible tattoos.
