Carlos Bolsonaro (PL), candidate for Senate from Santa Catarina, was absent from a forum promoted last Friday in Florianópolis, extending his sequence of missed interviews in the state. The former city councilman from Rio de Janeiro did not attend the event organized by Jovem Pan Floripa.
Presenter Emanuel Soares, from the Jovem Pan Floripa program, harshly criticized Carlos Bolsonaro's absence. According to Soares, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro does not attend interviews, forums or debates, and questioned the reasons why he wants to be senator from Santa Catarina.
During the forum that did not take place, the presenter stated that Carlos Bolsonaro may be defeated at the polls, suggesting that his lack of presence and visibility may harm his campaign in the state. The episode reignited discussions about the candidate's so-called "outsider status," as he is from Rio de Janeiro and has no political roots in Santa Catarina.
