Political figures associated with former President Jair Bolsonaro have faced scrutiny regarding their presence and activities in Santa Catarina.

Carlos Bolsonaro, a Liberal Party candidate for the Senate, missed a scheduled interview with Jovem Pan Floripa. While his campaign cited commitments in Brasília, reports suggested he was visiting his father. Critics noted a pattern of avoiding public forums in the state, which some viewed as a strategy to mitigate his lack of local connection.

Separately, Jair Renan Bolsonaro faced rejection from the Balneário Camboriú City Council regarding a request to excuse his absences to avoid salary deductions. Council members opposed the request, citing his receipt of R$ 3 million from the electoral fund. In response to the denial, Jair Renan Bolsonaro claimed his absences were due to visiting his father, whom he described as a ‘political prisoner’.
