1) I learned, through the Comunicação e Política channel, that in these municipal elections many PT mayors, who are in their second term, are now running for councilor. The idea is to occupy spaces to the point of reducing the number of conservatives in city councils.
2) This is a damage containment policy. If they avoid a very large number of conservatives in city councils, they will be able to grow stronger over time. The order for those who keep what is convenient and dissociated from the truth is to survive the conservative wave - for them, it is just a passing wave.
