The son of former President Jair Bolsonaro questioned the governor for keeping Alesp’s deputy leader of state deputy Guto Zacarias, linked to the Brazil Livre Movement
The federal deputy (PL-SP) again criticized the governor of, (Republicans), this Thursday (24). In the X (former Twitter), the former president’s son (PL) questioned Tarcisio for maintaining as deputy leader of the São Paulo Legislative Assembly (Alesp) the state deputy (Union), linked to the Brazil Livre Movement (MBL).
“Why does Tarcisio keep a person from MBL as a vice-leader, a group that defends my arrest, the arrest of my father, the arrest of exiled journalists, people who spent years without seeing their children like Allan dos Santos?” Wrote the deputy.
The publication was made in response to a video in which Guto Zacarias says that it is possible to criticize the president (PT), Jair Bolsonaro and the minister of the Supreme Court (STF), “without being afraid of being called sold, traitor or exempt.”
Why do you maintain him as deputy leader a MBL person, a group that defends my arrest, the arrest of my father, the arrest of exiled journalists, people who spent years without seeing their children?

About the former president, the MBL member states that “in the eagerness to save his son (Senator Flávio Bolsonaro), who was in trouble with corruption cases, Bolsonaro gave super powers to the Supreme Court (STF).”
To Estadão, Guto Zacarias said he does not give up his criticism. The state deputy defends himself by saying: “I am vice-leader of the government because it articulates and helps to approve good projects to the state.” The parliamentarian still concludes “unlike him (Eduardo Bolsonaro), I do not celebrate taxation against the people of the state who elected us and who swear to defend.”
Eduardo Bolsonaro criticized Tarcisio previously
Eduardo Bolsonaro’s statement occurs after a series of attacks led by the deputy to Tarcísio de Freitas. The former president’s son disapproved of the São Paulo governor attempts to try to reverse the 50% tariff imposed on national products by US President Donald Trump. For Eduardo, the governor’s actions configured “servile subservience to the elites”.
Eduardo defends the use of American tariffs as a tool to press the National Congress to grant amnesty to the convicts in the coup plot, among them, his father.
In July, Jair Bolsonaro appeared to the friction that took place between his son and the governor. “Today a stone was placed on top: I talked to Eduardo and talked to Tarcisio. It’s all pacified, Tarcisio remains my younger brother, and let’s go, we can’t share,” said the former president. Since the occasion, Eduardo had no longer positioned himself in relation to the governor.
Eduardo and Tarcisio are pointed out as possible representatives of the right in the 2026 presidential race, since Bolsonaro is ineligible until 2030.
