Children of () have adopted a more radical tone and intensified criticism in recent days with allies, without named them, after members of the centrão make public gestures for the candidacy of the governor, (Republicans).
For parliamentarians and center and right leaders, the reaction is an attempt to keep the father’s electoral estate in the clan. In addition, they evaluate that it is a way for them to maintain their own electoral relevance, as they will be candidates next year.
The councilman of Rio de Janeiro (PL) and the federal deputy (PL-SP) attribute the movement for Tarcisio to the “system” and criticize what they see as an opportunism on the eve of the judgment of the coup plot in the (Supreme Court), which could condemn Bolsonaro to over 40 years in jail.
“The problem is the complete lack of humanity in the face of what is happening with whom they made them possible, in an imposed vexatious situation with thousands and millions of Brazilians, while pretending normality just as the STF in the history of Brazil,” Carlos wrote on social networks.
Already Eduardo complained about people who speak to replace their father in the election race and “these same people still say it is for the good of Bolsonaro.”
“If there is a need to replace JB, this will not be done by force or blackmail. I think I have made it clear that I do not submit to blackmail. Any political decision will be made by us. It is no use coming with the” unique salvation “talk, because we will not submit. There is no strategic gain in making this ad now, a few days from its unfair judgment,” he said.
Eduardo is in the United States, where he operates for sanctions against Brazilian authorities with the government of Donald Trump, but wants to be quoted for his father’s successor in the presidency – even though he is not expected to return to Brazil.
He complained that he was not considered in the last poll of the Paraná Research Institute, released over the weekend with three scenarios: the candidacies of Tarcisio, the former first lady and the former president himself.
According to PL members, his name was no longer tested before, but public criticism was seen as an indirect to the party president, Valdemar Costa Neto, who has been complaining for months. PL and are usual clients of the institute.
The absence in the research also entered the radar of the Camboriú Balneario Councilman (SC) Jair Renan (PL), who called the brother “Natural Option of the Right”. “Why does the system try to hide it?” He asked.
The Senator (PL-RJ), in turn, has adopted a more discreet posture. Publicly, it does not criticize movements of eventual successors or initiatives of political sewing in this regard.
The interlocutors, he said he will not criticize Tarcisio, who is considered an important picture of the political group. Of the children, the senator is the only one who lives in Brasilia and, therefore, has had greater access to the father, becoming his main spokesman.
Bolsonaro’s allies point to the difference of his posture with that of children Carlos and Eduardo, who appears in the messages exchanged with the federal deputy and released in a report of the PF (Federal Police) last week.
Among Tarcisio’s pre-candidacy enthusiasts, the officialization is expected to take place after Bolsonaro’s probable condemnation and possible arrest, that is, until November or December, in time to organize campaigns at the national and regional level.
Tarcisio publicly denies the possibility of launching himself to Planalto, but adopted a speech seen by parliamentarians and party leaders as a candidate. While it narrows ties with the financial market and agribusiness, it reinforces the loyalty to the former president.
On Monday (25), the governor was one of the stars of the 20th anniversary of Republicans. On stage, the party president, federal deputy Marcos Pereira (SP), said that Brazil will have a decisive choice between the past and the future in the 2026 election.
On the same day, Valdemar Costa Neto dealt with a scenario in which the governor of Sao Paulo is a candidate for presidency and said he would go to the PL. He even stated that he has dealt with the subject with Tarcisio – which the governor does not confirm.
“Tarcisio has already stated, I had a dinner with him a year and a half ago. He said, ‘If I am a candidate, I go to the PL.’ At dinner with the governors, he spoke in front of five governors: ‘I am a candidate for governor, but if I am a candidate for president, I go to the PL,'” Valdemar said after seminar in Sao Paulo.
Behind the scenes, the senator and president of PP (PI), and the president of, Antonio Rueda, are seen as the main enthusiasts of a possible candidacy of the governor of São Paulo to the Planalto.
The day when the Union Brazil-PP Federation was approved served as a kind of pre-launch of candidacy, in the evaluation of members of the political world.
Although the theme was not treated directly – as other candidates on the right were there, such as the governor of Goiás, (União Brasil) – a kind of front was formed for 2026, with the strategy of printing defeats to the president (PT) in Congress, even if these parties keep positions in government.
