Jair Bolsonaro faces visitor restrictions as Cleitinho re-enters Minas race

Supreme Federal Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes has maintained a suspension on visits for former President Jair Bolsonaro. The restriction, which remains in effect until August 17, limits visits to medical, physiotherapeutic, and legal counsel. Flávio Bolsonaro has criticized the decision, stating that the measures are stripping his father of his rights.

In Minas Gerais, Senator Cleitinho Azevedo has reversed his decision to withdraw from the gubernatorial race. After a brief period of indecision, the Republicanos party has authorized his candidacy for the government of Minas Gerais. This shift has reshaped the local political landscape, leading Marcelo Aro to pivot toward a Senate bid and prompting the Liberal Party to launch its own candidate, Flávio Roscoe.
