Bolsonaro’s son launches Brazil presidential bid with Netanyahu, Milei support
Right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former president, has officially launched his campaign but trails Lula in polls.
Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has officially launched his presidential campaign. The right-wing candidate has received praise from international figures, including former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Argentine President Javier Milei. However, despite this foreign support, polls indicate that Flavio Bolsonaro faces an uphill battle against his main rival, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Lula currently leads in voter preference surveys as the election approaches. The younger Bolsonaro’s bid is seen as an attempt to continue his father’s political legacy, but he has struggled to gain traction among the broader electorate. The race is expected to be a tight contest between two polarizing figures.
