Deputy Bia Kicis said Michelle Bolsonaro should reduce her presence on social media due to intense pressure after leaving the presidency of PL Mulher and the public clash with Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
In an interview with the VEJA em Foco program, Kicis (PL-DF) recommended that Michelle stay off social media for a few days to ease the pressure. She noted that the former first lady faced attacks from supporters linked to Eduardo Bolsonaro.
Kicis said the video released by Michelle, in which she reported being mistreated by Flávio, “fell like a bomb.” According to the deputy, disagreements should have been handled privately and not in public.
Allies of Michelle told Folha that on the weekend before July 1, 2026, she decided to leave the leadership of PL Mulher and abandon her pre-candidacy for the Senate in the Federal District, but was persuaded to postpone the decision. The deadline for registering candidacies is August 15.
Kicis urged the Bolsonaro group to avoid new internal conflicts and focus on Flávio’s electoral campaign.
