On March 1, a right-wing protest is set to take place in Brazil, putting a spotlight on tensions between federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira and a faction of the bolsonarist supporters. Ferreira is advocating for a protest under the banner 'Out, Lula, Moraes and Toffoli,' but many within the bolsonarist camp see focusing on Toffoli's impeachment as strategically unwise. Instead, they argue that the current priority should be amnesty for January 8 demonstrators and a push for the freedom of former President Jair Bolsonaro.

For months, there have been complaints regarding Ferreira's alleged attempts to distance himself from Bolsonaro, with his supporters warning that this is motivated by a personal desire for political prominence, coining the term 'pain of the elbow' to describe the discontent within the camp. This conflict falls against the backdrop of recent developments, including Toffoli stepping back from overseeing a probe into banking irregularities after revelations of connections to his reported properties were published in Folha. These revelations add another layer of complexity to the political situation in Brazil.

As the date of the protest approaches, it remains to be seen how these internal divisions will influence their effectiveness and the broader political landscape. The bolsonarist faction is grappling with diverging priorities and strategies, all while the legitimacy and proposed actions of this right-wing movement are scrutinized by both the media and the broader public. Such friction could potentially undermine their collective strength in a politically charged environment.
