Flavio Bolsonaro launches Brazil presidential campaign, touts support from Milei, Netanyahu
The launch featured endorsements from Javier Milei and Benjamin Netanyahu as polls showed Lula leading Bolsonaro 48% to 43% in a runoff, Datafolha said.
- Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, officially launched his campaign to challenge President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the upcoming October presidential election during a Liberal Party convention in São Paulo.
- The campaign rollout featured high-profile international backing, highlighted by a live, fiery speech from Argentine President Javier Milei warning against the "Lula risk" of progressive politics, alongside a pre-recorded video endorsement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Because former President Jair Bolsonaro is currently serving a 27-year prison sentence related to an attempted coup and is barred from making public addresses, the convention utilized an artificial intelligence-generated video message of the older Bolsonaro to endorse his son's run.
- Flávio Bolsonaro used his speech to pitch tax cuts, a hardline stance on violent crime, and a continuation of his family's right-wing political legacy, while heavily criticizing Brazil's Supreme Court for what he described as political persecution against his family.
- The launch comes at a critical time for the Bolsonaro campaign, which has recently stalled in the polls due to a lack of endorsements from center-right congressional parties, public friction with former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro, and corruption leaks linking the senator to a jailed banker.
