Deputy Alcides Fernandes stated that Jair Bolsonaro and Michelle authorized the PL alliance with Ciro Gomes' group in Ceará, responding to the former first lady's video.
In a video released on Friday, Alcides Fernandes called Michelle Bolsonaro's public statement on the PL alliance with Ciro Gomes' group in Ceará “unfortunate.”
He said Michelle attended an April 14 meeting with Valdemar Costa Neto, Altineu Côrtes and André Fernandes, where she reportedly signaled support for the deal provided the Senate seat went to Priscila Costa.
Alcides also said Jair Bolsonaro authorized the strategy during the 2024 Fortaleza municipal campaign and at a PL caucus meeting in May 2025.
The reaction follows Michelle Bolsonaro's Wednesday, June 24 video in which she claimed to have been humiliated by Flávio Bolsonaro when questioning the alliance.
