Ex-Bolsonaro lawyer pressures Flavio's campaign over support for producer investigated by Dark Horse: 'Weakest link'

Fabio Wajngarten, former lawyer and former Communications Secretary of former President Jair Bolsonaro, publicly pressured Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's (PL-RJ) campaign to support Karina Gama, owner of the production company responsible for the film "Dark Horse" and target of a Federal Police operation on Thursday. In a post on social media platform X, the ex-president's ally ironized the Bolsonaro family's discourse on cutting public spending, pointing out a supposed contradiction between this discourse and the abandonment of allies. Wajngarten criticized that the campaign did not offer help or even listen to Karina Gama, describing her as "a single mother" who "wakes up with the Federal Police at home for the nth time." The former secretary stated that "the rope always snaps at the weakest link" and that Karina would be "receiving threats, being coerced and blackmailed to rebuild the truth." Wajngarten declared that "he entered the field to rebuild the truth." The text indicates that, until last year, Wajngarten was part of the ex-president's inner circle but was pushed out, suggesting a rupture between the allies.
