Brazilian right‑wing leaders Flávio Bolsonaro and Jalles Fontoura face political setbacks

Journalist Fabio Zanini said Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) is experiencing growing distrust within Brazil's conservative camp after a series of scandals, including the Daniel Vorcaro case and a controversial video involving Michelle Bolsonaro. The doubts come from women, evangelical voters and the financial sector, though he remains the main right‑wing contender against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the 2026 presidential race.

Former Goianésia mayor Jalles Fontoura rejected the prospect of becoming vice‑governor on the ticket of PSDB governor hopeful Marconi Perillo in Goiás. He said he would serve as a “consultant” instead and mentioned possible candidates such as his brother Otavinho Lage, but no final decision has been made.
