Flávio Bolsonaro is advised to 'play it safe' and avoids exploiting the Toffoli case
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro is advised by his campaign advisors not to leverage the crisis surrounding Minister Dias Toffoli to attack the Supreme Court, given the potential political backlash and the current positive momentum in his candidacy.
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign advisors recommend a more cautious approach in light of the current crisis involving Minister Dias Toffoli. They believe that any direct attacks on the Supreme Court (STF) could reignite negative associations with his father’s presidency, which could hurt Flávio's campaign as it is currently gaining traction in polls, closely competing with President Lula.
Moreover, the advisors highlight the political dynamics at play, noting that Dias Toffoli is a former member of the Workers' Party and is closely linked to President Lula, who appointed him. As such, any fallout from Toffoli's situation may ultimately impact Lula more than Flávio, making it a strategic decision to maintain distance from the controversy.
The overall message from Flávio's camp is clear: preserve the positive momentum of his candidacy while avoiding unnecessary entanglements in the STF disputes that could draw negative attention. This reflects a strategic focus on solidifying support as he navigates the electoral landscape in Brazil.
