Ratinho Junior endorses Flávio Bolsonaro for presidential runoff
Paraná Governor Ratinho Junior (PSD) has announced his support for Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) in the second round of the presidential election against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). The decision followed discussions with Flávio Bolsonaro and São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, who helped facilitate the alignment. Ratinho Junior expressed a desire to 'walk together for the future of our Brazil.'
While Ratinho Junior has declared support, the PSD party has officially maintained institutional neutrality for the second round, including state-level contests. Other political figures and parties, including Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), Romeu Zema (Novo), Augusto Cury (Avante), and the União Progressista federation, have also aligned with Flávio Bolsonaro.
In addition to political endorsements, Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign is engaging with the business sector. The LIDE group, founded by João Doria, is scheduled to host a business lunch with the senator in São Paulo on October 19 to discuss political scenarios and national perspectives. Meanwhile, in Piauí, Senator Ciro Nogueira projects that Flávio Bolsonaro could increase his vote share to over 30% in the upcoming runoff.
