Senator and presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro (PL) has begun publicly demanding that allied candidates include his name and number in campaign materials. During a live stream held this Thursday, he asked his supporters to monitor handouts, stickers, and other materials produced by candidates for deputy and senator to verify if they reference his candidacy for the presidency. He stated that it is very important to have this vote from end to end among allies.
The demand occurs in a context where candidates who orbit Flavio Bolsonaro's political field have preferred to associate their campaigns with other names, such as Michelle Bolsonaro and Nikolas Ferreira, who in some cases appear more prominently in campaign materials and on social media. This strategy by allies may represent a problem for the visibility of Bolsonaro's candidacy for the presidential palace.
