The decision generated a reaction from several center-right parties, which criticized the abandonment of a construction around the name of the governor of São Paulo, (Republicans), which gained strength after .
In the opinion of leaders from the center, the bet on Flávio, aimed at attracting core Bolsonarists, does more harm than good to the right in the 2026 elections. A member of a center-right party states that the obvious intention of rescuing the family brand is bad in this scenario in which Tarcísio’s name was being tested.
He sees a rescue of the patriarchal system that Brazil has always had in politics of trying to consolidate a family in power, instead of opening space for the construction of a candidate aligned with a broader ideological and economic segment.

Parties such as PP, União Brasil, PSD, Republicans and Novo are expected to maintain their own presidential projects as they believe that the senator has no real chance against Lula due to a high rejection rate and a list of scandals.
