Jorge argued with Ana, who fought with Carlos, who complained about Michelle, who retaliated against Eduardo, who attacked Ciro, Jair, Nikolas, Tarcísio and Valdemar.
They don’t stop there, at a time when the former president () has not yet announced his candidate for President and is serving a 27-year prison sentence for a coup d’état.
In the most recent episode, Michelle and the former president’s children due to an alliance with (PSDB) in Ceará.
But the disagreements and issues such as protagonism within the right, the electoral defeat in 2022 and the performance of the deputy (PL-SP) in the United States.
The parliamentarian, in fact, has been the pivot of many of the discussions. He seeks to project himself as leader of a more ideological arm of Bolsonarism, with a speech that rejects agreements and dispenses with political alliances with the center.
Not that breakups, fights and mutual accusations of betrayal are new to the group. Often in public, via social media, they have been happening since Bolsonaro climbed the ramp at Palácio do Planalto, in 2019.
For allies, however, the fragmentation of the group worsened with the lack of definition of the presidential candidate and the isolation of the former president from the moment he began to serve house arrest, in August of this year, and face difficulties in arbitrating disagreements.
See who’s who in the clashes of Bolsonarism in 2025.
MICHELLE BOLSONARO (PL-DF)
The former first lady won an internal fight after criticizing the alliance with Ciro Gomes in Ceará. After reprimands from her stepchildren, she stood her ground and managed to have the agreement suspended.
ANDRÉ FERNANDES (PL-CE)
Annoyed, he said that the agreement with Ciro had the approval of Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
“Since former president Bolsonaro’s wife publicly says that this alliance was hasty, then it was a hasty alliance on her husband’s part,” he declared.
The senator criticized the former first lady for criticizing the alliance with Ciro and stated that she acted in an authoritarian and embarrassing manner during the political event in Fortaleza. The next day, after visiting his father in prison, he apologized to his stepmother.
EDUARDO BOLSONARO (PL-SP)
The deputy came to Flávio’s defense after his brother criticized Michelle and said that “André could not be criticized for obeying the leader”.
It was light compared to what he said about allies such as:
“Tarcísio never helped you with anything at the STF. He was always standing by watching you get fucked and warming up for 2026,” Eduardo said to his father in a message revealed by the Federal Police.
Later, when the governor met with the charge d’affaires about the tariffs imposed by the USA, Eduardo complained again: “.”
“YOU FUCKING UNGRATEFUL’!, the deputy wrote to Bolsonaro, in July, using the acronym that means “you’re going to take it in the c…”, according to the same wave of messages revealed by the PF.
The irritation was due to the interview in which the former president called him immature for his differences with Tarcísio.
“Yeah,” Eduardo commented in a publication in which blogger Allan dos Santos criticized the Minas Gerais deputy’s approach to a woman who presents herself as a former Bolsonaro supporter.
Eduardo had already made a public statement in which he drew the parliamentarian’s attention and said that he expected more support from him for his activities in the USA.
After Bolsonaro’s senator and former minister said that Eduardo’s actions in the US brought “very great harm” to the right, the deputy stated that the difference between them was that he would be willing to “sacrifice” his personal interests for Brazil.
“Saying that a son would help kill his own father, if he doesn’t accept the blackmail that even his closest allies are doing to him, not even from you, Valdemar”, said Eduardo after the president of the PL stated that the deputy would kill his father if he launched a candidacy for the Presidency on his own.
VALDEMAR
The PL leader was one of the few to respond to Eduardo in the same terms: “Disgrace is cursing your own father and thinking you have votes. The votes belong to your father, not yours.”
SILAS MALAFAIA
It was the pastor, Bolsonaro’s first-time ally, who was the only one who criticized Eduardo and didn’t get revenge.
After being called an asshole, according to messages revealed by the PF, deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) recorded a video in a friendly and friendly tone.
CARLOS BOLSONARO (PL-RJ)
Once Bolsonaro’s most bellicose son on social media, the councilor lost his post to Eduardo, but also became involved in internal fights in 2025.
In addition to endorsing Flávio’s position on Michelle regarding the alliance with Ciro Gomes, Carlos was at the center of a clash linked to the ticket for Santa Catarina, having his name imposed by his father.
ANA CAMPAGNOLO (PL-SC)
In November, the state deputy of Santa Catarina complained that Carol de Toni (PL), federal deputy, was being raffled off when assembling the Senate ticket to open a vacancy for Carlos.
Eduardo classified her statements as “totally unacceptable” in form and content. The deputy then retorted: “You contradicted your father when the hypothesis of him launching Tarcísio for President was discussed. And maybe he will. What will it be like? Why can you express your opposition and the other allies cannot?”
JORGE SEIF (PL-SC)
The senator sided with Carlos in the fight against Campagnolo. “A state deputy comes, who was nothing until yesterday, she was a teacher, and now she thinks she’s a leader of the right in Santa Catarina, speaking badly of President Bolsonaro’s son,” he said. He later released a statement to say that he has a lot of respect for the teaching profession.
RAFAEL TAMBOZI (PL-SC)
In a video posted from inside a corral, the mayor of Pouso Redondo (SC) cited Carlos’ imposition to the Senate and stated: “We like our cattle, we treat our animals well, but the people of Santa Catarina are not cattle.”
JULIA ZANATTA (PL-SC)
Amid the fight, the deputy posted a photo with weapons behind and an analogy with the bloody series “Game of Thrones”: “Game of Santa Catarina”, she wrote.
GILSON MACHADO AND ANDERSON FERREIRA
In Pernambuco, Bolsonaro chose former Tourism Minister Gilson Machado (PL) as his Senate candidate, but Anderson Ferreira, former mayor of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, also intends to run. In a message sent to allies two weeks ago, Gilson said he may change parties.
In Rio de Janeiro, the second seat for the Senate is disputed internally by the governor and senator Carlos Portinho.
