Brazil’s Workers’ Party, or PT, is testing a new campaign slogan aimed at the Bolsonaro family after promoting the nickname “tariflávio” for Flávio Bolsonaro.
The slogan, “Defend Brazil from the Bolsonaros’ tariffs,” links the former president’s family to the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. Éden Valadares, the party’s communications secretary, introduced the nickname “tariflávio” on social media.
The PT wants to validate a message that can mobilize voters and target what it describes as a real movement. The campaign will seek to revive feelings of Brazilian pride, using the national flag and green-and-yellow colors in its visual identity.
The party also plans to emphasize what it calls the Bolsonaro family’s subservience and tell voters that Lula’s party is the one defending Brazil. The PT has previously used the slogan “Who defends you is the PT” and, in recent days, the message “PT. In defense of Brazil and the Brazilian people.”
Defend Brazil from the Bolsonaros’ tariffs.
