With Flávio Bolsonaro, the message is softer, but the threat to democracy persists

Público31 August 2026 at 07:12

The candidacy of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro to the Presidential Palace is surrounded by scandals and political weaknesses. The article points out that the heir of Jair Bolsonaro faces questions that compromise his image with part of the electorate.

Despite the difficulties, Flavio counts on the organized support of bolsonarismo, which demonstrates loyal allegiance to the family clan. This consolidated support base is what allows the senator to keep his presidential ambitions alive.

The message used in Flavío Bolsonaro's campaign is described as softer compared to his father Jair Bolsonaro's rhetoric. However, the article argues that the threat to democracy persists even with this more moderate approach.

The text concludes that, regardless of criticisms and scandals, the structure of popular and media support built around the Bolsonaro family continues to be Flavío's main asset in his walk toward the Presidency of the Republic.
