The exchange of attacks between the influencer Pablo Marçal (PRTB) and members of the Bolsonaro family has evidenced the tension on who should lead the right in the 2026 presidential elections. In the center of divergences, are Marçal’s political aspirations and the strategic control that Jair Bolsonaro (PL) Try to keep upon your political group. This Saturday (25), Carlos Bolsonaro (PL) criticized Marçal on social networks, accusing him of lying and trying to weaken the former president.
“Farçal is the only guy who says the right -wing one who has tried to destroy @jairbolsonaro since 2018, lying disguisingly and saying he supports him. These are just facts. Otherwise anyone does what they want. I only bring information found by anyone. The guys do not give a point without a knot. Everyone is bald to know, ”wrote the former president’s son.
Anosity intensified after a Jair Bolsonaro interview with CNN on Thursday (23), where the former president classified Marçal as “letter out of the deck.” “I avoid talking about this guy. It’s a letter out of the deck. (…) It has a great potential, but it needs to control itself, ”said Bolsonaro.
Marçal, in turn, reacted to the statement stating that Bolsonaro “is out of the game” and claiming that the former president only considers candidates linked to his family. The answer signals that the influencer does not intend to retreat in his search for political space.
Aspirations and alliances in the right field
With 1.7 million votes won in the dispute for the City of São Paulo in 2022, Marçal has been consolidated as an influential figure. The problem is that his candidacy for the presidency faces barriers, including actions in the Electoral Court that can make him ineligible.
Bolsonaro, on the other hand, has already begun to articulate possible successors within his family nucleus. Although he mentioned his wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, as a “good name” for the elections, he later indicated that she should run for Senate. For the presidential race, the favorites would be the children Flávio and Eduardo Bolsonaro.
