Neymar Jr. endorses Flávio Bolsonaro in social media video
Brazilian football star Neymar Jr. has publicly endorsed Flávio Bolsonaro, the Liberal Party (PL) candidate for president, just days before the second round of elections. In a video shared on social media with Federal Deputy Nikolas Ferreira, Neymar participated in a riddle involving his former Barcelona jersey number, 11. When asked what 11 plus 11 equals, Neymar responded “22,” which is the electoral number for Flávio Bolsonaro.
Nikolas Ferreira framed the interaction as being about football rather than politics, but the video serves as a significant endorsement for the conservative candidate. This follows previous social media interactions where Neymar referenced the number 22 and expressed support for the Bolsonaro family.
The second round of the presidential election, featuring Flávio Bolsonaro against the incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is scheduled for Sunday, October 25.
