Flávio Bolsonaro announces support for Marinho and potential presidential run from US
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, speaking from the United States, has announced his support for Senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN) for the presidency of the Senate. This move is part of a broader effort by opposition groups, including members of the PL, Novo, and a faction of the PP, to consolidate power in the Senate for the 2027 term.
Bolsonaro justified his departure from Brazil as a reaction to a Supreme Court decision by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, which required him to surrender his passports and prohibited international travel. He stated that being abroad allows him to communicate with supporters with greater freedom. During his broadcast, he also expressed his intention to run for the Presidency of the Republic again before 2030, predicting that an economic crisis could lead to the early departure of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The senator's move has drawn mixed reactions in Congress. While some allies defend his presence in the US as a way to maintain an opposition voice, government leaders have accused him of attempting to play the victim to preserve political influence.
