The former governor of Sao Paulo Joao Doria announced on Wednesday his departure from the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) after resigning his candidacy for the October general elections in Brazil in May for not obtaining enough support from the leadership of his formation. .

“I announce my disaffiliation from the PSDB after 22 years in the party. Inspired by social democracy and names like Franco Montoro, Mario Covas, Jose Serra and FHC, I have fulfilled my party’s political mission based on the excellence of public management and a society fairer and less unequal”, he indicated on his official Twitter profile.

Doria had numerous clashes with the president, Jair Bolsonaro, who questioned the suitability of some of the measures he decreed to stop the advance of COVID-19, such as confinement, during the pandemic.

The PSDB opted at that time for the senator of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) Simone Tebet as the only candidate of the so-called ‘third way’, the alternative coalition to the candidacies of both Bolsonaro and former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Since his candidacy failed and he was isolated in the party, Doria, who in a period of six years was elected mayor and governor, returned to the private sector and formed a consultancy, according to the newspaper ‘Folha de S.Paolo ‘.
