Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro was in Juiz de Fora this Wednesday, the city where his father, Jair Bolsonaro, was stabbed during the 2018 electoral campaign. The visit marks a symbolic moment in the electoral race, with the candidate returning to the site of the attempted assassination that nearly killed the current president.
Flavio repeated one of his father's characteristic gestures during the campaign, being carried on the shoulders of supporters as he walked through the city's streets. The gesture strengthens the connection between Flavio's campaign and Jair Bolsonaro's political legacy, who is running for President under the same political family banner.
The visit to Juiz de Fora represents a strategy to capitalize on the memory of the 2018 attack, transforming a traumatic moment in the family's history into a symbol of political resilience for the current campaign.
