The senator (-RJ) said he apologized to the former first lady after a clash over the alliance with Ciro Gomes in Ceará.
After visiting the former president (PL), at the Federal Police Superintendence this Tuesday (2), Flávio said that he explained the situation to his father and that the PL platform is not yet closed in any state.
“I explained to him what had happened, but I said that I’ve already resolved things with Michelle, I apologized to her. So did she. We’re going to have a meeting today [terça] in the PL to actually create a routine for making decisions together. In Ceará, as in several other states in Brazil, there is no decision taken”, he stated.
Flávio and his brothers Eduardo, Carlos Bolsonaro and Jair Renan had a public fight with their stepmother on Sunday (30th) and Monday (1st), when she criticized the support for Ciro’s candidacy and said that her candidate for the government of Ceará is Eduardo Girão (New).
This Tuesday, Flávio said that the situation will not happen again and gave Michelle a series of compliments. He added that “there is no point in wanting to separate” because they will “sit down, talk and align in all states, including Ceará”.
“She is a woman who conquered, who became a reference throughout the country, who led the women’s movement throughout Brazil, a respected woman, who has a good image, who is a great figure, yes, of our party and who has a very important role at this moment in Brazil”, stated the senator.
Understand the case
This happened after federal deputy André Fernandes (PL-CE) gave Ciro Gomes, Bolsonaro’s opponent in the 2018 elections and with a former president and Bolsonaroism.
Flávio then stated that his stepmother, who, according to him, had authorized André Fernandes’ movement in Ceará.
“And the way she addressed him [a André Fernandes]who is perhaps our greatest local leadership, was authoritarian and embarrassing”, said Bolsonaro’s eldest son to columnist Igor Gadelha, from the Metrópoles portal.
Afterwards, the brothers endorsed Flávio.
In a statement released this Tuesday, Michelle said she “respects” the opinion of her stepchildren, but stated that she thinks differently and that she has the “right to express” her thoughts “freely and sincerely.”
