BRAZIL: PSDB chooses presidential candidate but splits remain
Senior members of the Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB) Brazil’s second-largest party, told reporters earlier this week that Geraldo Alckmin, the governor of São Paulo state, would be chosen as the party’s president at its convention in Brasília on 9 December. That move is the first stage towards confirming Alckmin as the party’s presidential candidate, finally putting an end to months of speculation over who would get the nod. Though the decision has put to bed one of the issues dividing the notoriously fractious party, it remains split over whether to support the government’s key pension reform legislation.
