  • Michelle Bolsonaro appeared in a new photo with the PL Mulher Instagram account, two days after a previous post featuring a cardboard cutout.
  • The account had initially shared an image with a cardboard cutout of the former first lady, leading to confusion.
  • The new photo features the actual Michelle Bolsonaro, clarifying the situation.

The Instagram account for PL Mulher, the women's wing of Brazil's Liberal Party, has posted a new photograph featuring former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro. This comes just two days after the account initially shared an image that appeared to show Bolsonaro as a cardboard cutout, a post that drew attention and some confusion.

The previous post, which featured what seemed to be a flat, stand-up figure of Bolsonaro, led to questions about her actual presence or engagement with the party's social media. The use of a cutout might have been an attempt to maintain a social media presence in her absence or due to scheduling conflicts.

The latest update, however, shows the genuine Michelle Bolsonaro posing with the PL Mulher team, seemingly putting an end to the speculation generated by the earlier cardboard cutout image. The party appears to be reasserting its connection with the former first lady.
