Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) announced on Friday (5) that he was chosen by his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, as the presidential candidate in 2026. The decision strengthens the family's influence in the Bolsonarista camp and draws reactions from the PT, which sees benefits for Lula. On Saturday (6), Argentine President Javier Milei expressed support for the pre-candidacy.
President Lula asked Secom minister Sidônio Palmeira to remain in office until the end of the term, avoiding his departure to lead the 2026 reelection campaign. Instead, Lula plans to hire Raul Rabelo, the minister's former partner, to handle campaign marketing. This move bolsters Sidônio's influence over government and PT communications.
