The presidential pre-candidate (-RJ) minimized the division of right-wing candidates for the October elections during his participation in the 39th edition of the Freedom Forum, this Friday (10), in .
On Thursday (9), the event, organized by the IEE (Institute of Business Studies), held a debate with presidential candidates (Novo), Aldo Rebelo (DC) and (), .
According to the organizers, Flávio did not participate in this program due to scheduling issues. In the morning, he was at a PL event in Mato Grosso do Sul.
“They are all names that have a center and right alignment. I think the debate is important,” said Flávio about the other three presidential candidates.
According to him, the convergence of the right will “happen naturally, whether at first, or during the election, if there is a second round.” “I don’t see a fragmentation. I think that the one with the problem is not the right, the one with the problem is the left, which only has one candidate and it’s horrible. It’s an expired commodity, a tired product like Lula, and there’s absolutely no one who can replace it,” he said.
Asked about possible names for vice president, Flávio said that he is still talking to parties and waited for the end of the party window to start definitive discussions, but cited senator Tereza Cristina (-MS) as a “very qualified member” and Romeu Zema, who has already indicated that he has no interest in giving up his position as head of the ticket.
At the event, Flávio answered a question from the public about possible names to form a possible government and stated that the discussion will take place later in the campaign. “Unfortunately, you will continue to hear generic proposals from me. We are in a pre-campaign period, we need to show everyone what direction we intend to give our country. But we know what has to be done.”
Asked about the increase in Lula’s popularity during the tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump administration, he denied that his brother had intervened for the taxation.
“What Eduardo Bolsonaro was defending was punishment for an international human rights violator,” he stated, referring to STF minister Alexandre de Moraes, the target of financial sanctions by the American government.
Flávio Bolsonaro will continue his agenda in the state this Saturday (11), at the PL convention that will seal the pre-candidacy of federal deputy Luciano Zucco (PL) for the government of Rio Grande do Sul.
Zucco will have state deputy Silvana Covatti (PP) as his vice-president, a parliamentarian linked to agribusiness and the campaign’s bet to attract the female vote.
