Parties and Elections

Because Renan winning the election means a truckload of votes for federal deputy and for state deputy.

Regarding Renan Santos, Renan managed to build a national political movement that is already 12 years old, organize the largest demonstrations in the country's history during President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, a movement that is present in all states of the federation, that has already elected councilors, state deputies, me... as a federal deputy, and that managed to build a political party. Building a party is like running a large company's operation, because you need — we collected signatures in all states of the federation, hundreds of collectors, a production line to gather the signatures, send the signatures specifically to the registry office where that voter votes, make copies of those signatures, organize and develop our own software that we made.

A large part of our team — I'd say about half of the party's team — is made up of programmers; we innovated in that signature collection by collecting the physical forms but having software to match the person's information with the TSE system, which made us have the smallest loss of signatures due to data mismatches in the history of all political parties. And it's not easy to set up a party, the only party set up under this stricter electoral legislation. Take as an example the former President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, who with the president's pen in hand, with the president's spotlight, with the microphones the president has, with a horde of fanatical followers, still couldn't even get past the collection phase.

So, Renan Santos runs the administration of this large structure that involves thousands of people today.

After that, I managed to create a political party, something that former President Bolsonaro tried and miserably failed to do while in power, putting his sons to try to run it — something they naturally couldn't do given the low intelligence they have at their disposal.

I did it in the shortest period of time.

Let's compare it with Partido Novo, which is a party set up by private-sector executives.

They spent millions and took five years.
