Former deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) accused deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) of disrespect and boosting anti-Bolsonaro profiles in an X post on Saturday (April 4). The spat arose after Nikolas reacted with 'kkk' to a defense of content he shared. Eduardo demands the Minas Gerais deputy's support for Flávio Bolsonaro's (PL-RJ) presidential bid.
Eduardo Bolsonaro responded to Nikolas Ferreira's 'kkk' reaction to a post defending his sharing of Space Liberdade channel content, which Eduardo criticized for not backing Flávio Bolsonaro in October elections. Eduardo posted a long text accusing Nikolas of mockery and algorithmically boosting profiles that 'desire the death' of Jair Bolsonaro and hate his family.
"Risinho de deboche para mim, @nikolas_dm? Ao que parece, não há limites para seu desrespeito comigo e minha família. [...] Os holofotes e a fama te fizeram mal, infelizmente", Eduardo wrote. He claimed Nikolas works against those who supported him as an 'unknown aide' and demands explicit backing for Flávio, calling his election the 'real only chance' against the current regime.
Nikolas boasts massive social media reach: 9 million TikTok followers (more than Jair Bolsonaro) and 21 million on Instagram. Deputy Mario Frias (PL-SP) backed Eduardo, stating Nikolas 'trains the algorithm to give visibility to all who hate bolsonarismo'. Jair Renan Bolsonaro (PL-SC) posted an Olavo de Carvalho quote seen as a jab at Nikolas.
This is not their first clash: in 2024, Nikolas backed Pablo Marçal against the bolsonarista candidate in São Paulo; in February 2026, Eduardo accused him of 'amnesia'; March showed brief détente.
