Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, representing the PL party from Rio de Janeiro and a pre-candidate for the presidency, recently discussed the party's electoral strategies across various Brazilian states. In his comments made after visiting his father, ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently incarcerated, Flávio asserted that the electoral maneuvers enjoy the endorsement of his father. He expressed confidence in leveraging a 'family bench' strategy, particularly focusing on candidates from his family in regions like Santa Catarina and the Federal District.

Flávio's strategy highlights the importance of maintaining political influence despite their current legal troubles. By emphasizing the familial connections in political roles, Flávio aims to consolidate potential support bases for the upcoming elections. He mentioned the strategic placement of family members into significant positions, with a particular focus on the Senate candidates, which underscores their commitment to maintaining the political legacy of the Bolsonaro name in Brazil.

In specific terms, Flávio revealed plans for his brother, Carlos Bolsonaro, who serves as a city councillor in Rio, to run as a pre-candidate in Santa Catarina. This move indicates a strategic recruitment of family members into key electoral fights in order to strengthen their political alliances and resilience against growing opposition. Flávio's declarations signify not only personal ambitions but also a lasting influence of the Bolsonaro legacy in the political landscape of Brazil, even amid controversies and challenges the family currently faces.
