PT radical stays and fights

Heloisa Helena — 2003-11-18T00:00:00Z

At the very end of September, Heloisa Helena, the senator at the forefront of opposition to the Brazilian government's right-wing economic policies, announced she had no intention of walking out of the governing Workers' Party (PT).

The red wave has been confirmed. The electoral results for the Workers' Party (PT) in Brazil's municipal elections of October 30th, 2000 were favourable in the north and south of the country. The strength of the PT as a national party of opposition to president Fernando Henrique Cardoso (FHC) surprised the right and created a new environment for the presidential elections of 2002.
