published a why it won’t support. What interests me is not what she says, but what she does as a result of this act and the questions it raises.
Did Michelle take this action without consulting or asking her husband for permission? Because she doesn’t claim to speak on behalf of and it doesn’t make sense for him to attack his son. His eldest son is a pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic chosen by himself. I don’t remember another gesture by the former first lady demonstrating this autonomy against family interests.
What is the objective, besides harming Flávio’s chances in the presidential race, by presenting him and his brothers as people who attack a woman — his father’s wife — treating her as naive in her words, to support a political enemy in the name of pragmatism?
She has reasons to act. By taking the lead as a candidate for Bolsonarism, Flávio took the running project between Michelle and herself out of the picture. The double was seen as the most viable way to win — it combined Tarcísio’s experience as approved governor of São Paulo with the strength of the former first lady leading women, including poor evangelicals, attracted to Lula.
The Madureira Ministry of the Assembly of God already, and other pastors, do not hide their desire to follow the same path — they just fear the erosion of this choice within their denominations.
Does Michelle want revenge, do she want a ticket, or something else?
She calculated her actions in detail. Your video is an advertising piece that features a backdrop — diplomas in the background, the pound symbol and Star of David, and a classic crystal glass. There was an elaborate script. There was a teleprompter for her to read. This planning assumes that there are other people acting on its behalf.
And who then is part of this hard core around Michelle? She mentions some names in her speech. The best known is that of the president of , . She also defends the group of leaders she created through her presidency.
Can we assume that she is talking to pastors like Robson Rodovalho, from Sara Nossa Terra, who visited Bolsonaro in prison? And what about the pastor, the leadership that has publicly criticized Flávio? And the evangelicals linked to the Bolsonaro government, from the Presbyterian Church, like the minister?
Finally, it is worth asking how efficient this attack on Flávio’s pre-candidacy is. It was revealed that he is the former owner of Master, . The information came from within — but from whom? There seems to be no pressure to reveal the true destination of the millions he paid to the clan, with the initial objective of financing the .
Even cornered, the pre-candidacy resists. Neither have they gained traction in the polls. Despite what has already been revealed, Flávio continues to be seen as the name most likely to beat Lula in the second round. He received his father’s blessing and his opponents have so far shown themselves submissive to Jair’s desire.
The strategy of Flávio’s circle seems to be to present this election as a plebiscite on Lula and the . Right-wing voters understand that the ultimate goal is to remove the president, regardless of who occupies that position. And Flávio has established himself as the most viable option for this confrontation, at least in the first round.
We must analyze Michelle’s videos from this scenario. She was an important figure in the PL over the last few years, even after leaving the Presidency. It had resources, infrastructure, prestige. Now, with Flávio, she and her group have been mistreated, exposed and undeserving.
Will the former first lady have a place to run for the Senate? And who will she be in the party if Flávio is elected?
This seems to be the most reasonable reason for Michelle’s actions. She demonstrated that she wants to negotiate a space in the PL before the campaign starts. To remain relevant in 2030, in a scenario without Lula, she and her close interlocutors — especially evangelicals — need to show the strength they have today.
