Analysts agree that the general elections, in which the participation of young people, the Itaipu treaty and the fight against organized crime will be the issues that will mark the political agenda of 2023.
Carlos Peris, a political scientist, pointed out that the first and most important thing that will shape the whole of next year will be the presidential elections that will not end in April, but will have an impact for the whole year.
“We must remember that the president takes office on August 15. That will mean if the Colorados win or if the opposition wins, they will have to make alliances, groups, teams, and that will shape all the politics and it will be the great theme of the year, ”he said.
He maintained that the second most important issue will be related to the Itaipu treaty, which could have a 180° turn, remembering that Lula’s government will take office on January 1.
“You have to know what position the Brazilian government takes in relation to this issue,” he said.
As the third most important issue, he argued that it will be organized crime due to the sustained growth of drug trafficking since 2015.
“I believe that next year it will be an issue that must be addressed if it is not something that is going to get out of control, if it has not already gotten out of control. The fourth thing is that more and more political groups want to review the unblocked lists and go back to the ‘sheet lists’. Because ultimately the new system prioritizes the candidates who have greater economic power and those who have no structure less,” he commented.
CASTINEIRA
Selva Castiñeira, a political scientist, pointed out that on the one hand there will be general elections marked by intense campaigns during the first semester.
“From the fortnight of January we will have pure electoral campaigns. Then only three more months of the current government would remain and then the new government would take over, which would emerge victorious in 2023.”
Regarding the Itaipu treaty, he affirmed that certain decisions made by the ruling party continue to surprise us, where we will see if it will have the opportunity to govern another five more years.
“In April we will see that, on April 30. If they have the opportunity, we hope they do things well because in the internal ones we notice too many captive votes. They do not respect the real will of the electorate and do not give themselves the space or the opportunity to elect new politicians, which is what we need. We need a generation that makes good decisions based on real needs and not that corruption that we are all fed up with. It is necessary to see what qualification we give to the outgoing government that in recent times we have seen many electoral campaigns but the needs have not been met, ”he said.
