Panel SA: Businessmen close to Doria see possible withdrawal as a logical decision

by

Businessmen close to Governor João Doria say that the news of the withdrawal from the candidacy was understood as a logical decision by the toucan in the face of the scenario.

The conclusion of some of his supporters in the business world is that the experience that Doria has so far in politics qualifies him for a few years from now, who knows, to try again for the presidency, after the current wave of polarization is overcome. and with space for other names.

Ending this short political period of just over five years with a defeat would be an unfortunate result, which would overshadow some of his achievements in office. The alternative of ending the mandate in the post seems to the businessmen close to Doria a victorious way out.

In the opinion of one of them, the toucan would leave the mark of a great governor in the history of the state, and the future belongs to God, that is, at the age of 64, Doria could even be called to return to politics, also remembering that he managed to two surprising victories for the city hall and the government. The assessment is that Doria’s complete success would be to be able to elect the successor, Rodrigo Garcia, but the situation seems nebulous, since the permanence in the position sours the relationship with the vice.

Another ironically positive point, according to his fellow entrepreneurs, would be the chance for Doria to respond to the criticism that he did not end his term as mayor because he was interested in running for government.

On what they hope to see in Doria’s career from 2023 onwards, a sabbatical would be appropriate. Not an immediate return to Lide appears on the horizon. In the words of a friend, Doria has grown too big to return to Lide, and his son João Doria Neto is seen as someone who has established himself at the head of the organization. They suggest that Doria could take care of the estate, take on boards of directors of companies or even travel to Italy or the United States for a phase of studies, taking advantage of the fact that her children are adults.

For the time being, the toucan would be left in a comfortable position to continue for the next few months opening works, showing services and reaping fruits such as the depollution of the Pinheiros River and subway works. This, without the anxiety of the campaign and without suffering attacks from Bolsonaro, since he would be out of the electoral dispute. It is a scenario that, in the opinion of Doria’s friends, could even reduce the rejection that the toucan has today.
