Em entrevista exclusiva ao Diário, Haddad atrelou o enfraquecimento dos tucanos a um prejuízo ao ambiente eleitoral, por retirar da disputa uma força política consolidada e que fazia oposição ao PT. Para o petista, a antiga rivalidade entre as duas siglas era marcada pelo confronto de ideias, mas sem agressividade: “O que atrapalha é o fim do PSDB. Havia um jogo, uma ‘Champions League’, entre o PT e o PSDB no plano nacional e estadual. Era outro tipo de eleição, ninguém xingava ninguém, não tinha fake news, apresentávamos propostas”.
