Flávio Bolsonaro promises STF appointments to include women

Presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro pledged during a campaign event in Itapetininga, São Paulo, to appoint both men and women to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) if elected. The move is seen as a strategic effort to appeal to female voters, a demographic where his campaign has seen lower performance.

Bolsonaro used the platform to intensify his criticisms of the STF, accusing certain ministers of political interference and persecution. He stated that appointees should "respect the Constitution" and not use public machinery for personal enrichment. He further asserted that "those who disobey the law will pay for it," though he did not specify which ministers he was targeting or how he would enforce such accountability.

In addition to judicial critiques, Bolsonaro attacked the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and addressed public security, advocating for tougher measures against organized crime. His remarks come amid ongoing tensions with the judiciary, following recent court decisions regarding his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro.
