  • The Workers' Party (PT) in Brazil is launching a new slogan to criticize the Bolsonaro family's economic policies.
  • The campaign aims to mobilize voters by associating the family with unpopular tax increases, using the nickname 'tariflávio'.
  • The PT seeks to position itself as the defender of Brazil, contrasting its stance with the Bolsonaros' perceived subservience.

Brazil's Workers' Party (PT) is rolling out a new slogan, "Defend Brazil from the Bolsonaros' tariff hikes," aiming to galvanize voters against the family's economic policies. This initiative follows the party's use of the nickname "tariflávio," coined by party communications secretary Éden Valadares, to link Flávio Bolsonaro to tax increases imposed under Donald Trump.

The campaign seeks to tap into national pride, incorporating the Brazilian flag and the new slogan in green and yellow. The PT intends to highlight what it portrays as the Bolsonaro family's subservience, while positioning itself, and by extension Lula, as the true defenders of Brazil. This strategy echoes the PT's previous slogan, "The PT defends you."
