Alexandre de Moraes, a minister of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF), has authorized former President Jair Bolsonaro to host visits from five political allies in March at the Papudinha facility, adjacent to the Papuda prison complex in Brasília. Among those permitted to visit is Rogério Marinho, a senator and the leader of the opposition, who will meet Bolsonaro on March 25.

Marinho is not only pivotal as the coordinator for the presidential campaign of Bolsonaro’s son, Flávio Bolsonaro, but his visit also symbolizes ongoing support for the former president, indicating that Bolsonaro's political influence endures despite his incarceration. Additional visitors include deputies Marco Feliciano and Bia Kicis, both of whom are seeking to maintain or secure political power in their upcoming elections, showcasing their allegiance to Bolsonaro's political legacy.

The implications of these visits extend beyond personal support; they demonstrate the strength of Bolsonaro’s political network and the determination of his allies to navigate the political landscape in Brazil amid his legal challenges. The visits may also play a significant role in shaping public perception and bolstering the campaign efforts linked to Bolsonaro's family, underlining a notable dynamic in Brazilian politics currently marked by deep polarization and contestation over presidential ambitions.
