Tarcísio postpones meeting with Flávio Bolsonaro but promises to hold his hand
São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas has postponed a meeting with Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, originally scheduled for this Thursday, to discuss political strategies and support for the 2026 elections.
The planned meeting between São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has been postponed until after the Carnival festivities in Brazil. This meeting is significant as it will be their first discussion following a recent crisis between the governor and the Bolsonaro family, which occurred about a month prior. Tarcísio emphasized the importance of this meeting in strategizing for the upcoming elections and fostering political alliances.
During a public event in Guarulhos, where he announced R$ 80 million for infrastructure investments, Tarcísio reaffirmed the support he has received from former President Jair Bolsonaro throughout his political journey. His statement, 'Now we are going to hold Flávio’s hand, and go all out,' indicates his intention to lean on the Bolsonaro name as he prepares for electoral battles in the coming years, particularly regarding the respective Senate seats in São Paulo.
Tarcísio also elaborated on his ambitions for the upcoming elections, mentioning that he is working towards the election of two senators from São Paulo, with one candidate already solidified - his former secretary Guilherme Derrite, whom he termed as 'well-positioned and consolidated'. The outcome of this meeting and the subsequent political maneuvers could greatly influence the political landscape in Brazil as the next general elections approach, with the Bolsonaro legacy still playing a crucial role.
