From the top to rock bottom: The PT’s rapid rise and fall
It all began in 2022 when then-President Jair Messias Bolsonaro invited an unknown figure named Dedé to join the Bloxburg Brazilian political scene. Dedé quickly integrated and founded his own party: the Workers’ Party (PT). Riding on a wave of populism, he launched his presidential campaign and won by a landslide.
But just three weeks into his presidency, Dedé became the center of public outrage. His explicit language in public meetings and his erratic, inappropriate behavior sparked mass protests. Instead of apologizing, Dedé doubled down — banning three citizens, censoring ten others, and beginning to impose an authoritarian regime.
The Central of Founders — the country’s highest judicial authority — intervened, impeached Dedé, and handed power to Vice President Lipe Adri from União Brasil. But Dedé wasn’t finished.
A shocking plan behind Manu’s candidacy
In the next elections, PT launched a new presidential candidate named Manu. At first, the move seemed like an attempt to rehabilitate the party’s image. However, an investigation by ABIN uncovered a far more sinister plan.
According to intercepted internal communications, Manu planned to take office with no vice president, then appoint Dedé to the role — granting him immunity via privileged jurisdiction and nullifying his legal proceedings. She would then dismantle the country’s courts and congress, transforming Brazil into a centralized republic under PT control — in short, a full-scale coup.
The plan was stopped in time. Manu was declared ineligible and later convicted. Public outrage intensified as never before, marking the total collapse of the PT.
From extinction to rebirth
Following the scandal, PT’s membership plummeted from 45 to zero. Over the next two years, sixteen different national presidents tried to restore the party, including Rafa Bauch, Jasmine, and Enrico Chavinni — none succeeded. In 2023, then-President Ricardo Salles officially banned the party, a decision reversed only in 2024.
Even after regaining legal status, the party had no structure, no support, and no credibility. That changed in early 2025.
Caio Rodriguez Lima: New leadership, renewed ambition
Caio Rodriguez Lima, known for his passion for communism and socialism and his administrative background, accepted the challenge of leading the party’s rebirth. He applied for and received $350,000 (bloxburg dollars) in Electoral Fund resources, reopened the party with a modest headquarters in Salvador, and built a large political event space.
He also filed a petition with the Electoral Court to obtain two temporary Senate seats for the party — and won. Soon after, Caio was elected President of the Federal Senate, bringing unprecedented visibility and legitimacy to a left-wing leader in Bloxburg Brazil.
A mission to make PT relevant again
Caio launched a national recruitment campaign and began rebuilding local party cells. In today’s press conference, he reaffirmed his intention to compete in the next elections using public funds, with full authorization from electoral authorities.
“I know the rejection is high, but I believe the people are ready to hear new ideas. We’re not here to repeat the mistakes of the past, but to offer an honest, transparent, and efficient left,”
said Caio.
The challenge of rejection: 96.8% still oppose the left
Since Bloxburg Brazil’s founding in 2022, no left-wing candidate has ever been elected to executive or legislative office. All 15 presidents elected so far have come from right-wing or center-right parties. The left has never won a mayoral seat, a congressional seat, or any major government role.
Despite a slight drop in rejection over the past nine months, resistance remains overwhelming: 96.8% of citizens declare they do not trust socialist or communist parties.
A new era or a new disappointment?
Despite massive challenges, the Workers’ Party’s return under Caio Rodriguez Lima has reignited a debate many believed was over. Can the left become relevant again in Bloxburg Brazil? Or will the legacy of Dedé and Manu forever haunt any reconstruction effort?
The answer will come at the ballot box. One thing is certain: the PT is back — and this time, it seems more determined than ever to rewrite its story.
