Michelle has shown discomfort with the wave of attacks suffered by her and her allies since the pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, senator (PL-RJ), last week.
People close to the former first lady say that her candidates have been disregarded and that it makes no sense to be in charge of the position.
Furthermore, Michelle believes that the group will be in good hands with the current national vice-president, Fortaleza councilor Priscila Costa — whose candidacy for the Senate is one of the pivots in the fight between the former first lady and Bolsonaro’s children.
According to reports, the former first lady is also thinking about her candidacy for the Federal Senate. Allies say that, privately, Michelle always said that she would only be a candidate because her husband, the former president (PL), had asked her to.
The former first lady, they claim, also never publicly put herself forward as a pre-candidate and repeated, a few times, that her political future was in God’s hands.

People close to the former first lady have been talking to her about the message she would send after her withdrawal. A person who did not want to be identified says that Michelle’s retreat would indicate to women that there is no space for them in politics — a thesis that she has always tried to combat.
Michelle indicated that she will not participate in the meeting organized by Flávio’s pre-campaign this Wednesday (1st).
