Moro avoids debates and draws mockery while trying to align himself with Ratinho Jr. on TV

Sergio Moro is leading the race for governor of Paraná, but his campaign has canceled debates with opponents and avoided direct criticism of the current administration.

That approach has drawn irony as Moro tries to associate himself with Governor Ratinho Junior on television. Ratinho Junior’s government has approval approaching 80%, making the incumbent a valuable figure in the campaign.

The governor, in turn, has become a constant presence in the campaign of federal lawmaker Sandro Alex, who is working to reach the second round by concentrating his attacks on Moro, the former Lava Jato judge.
