The senator, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, led the first broadcast of “TV Celular Flávio Bolsonaro” from a São Paulo studio. Wearing a yellow shirt that read “My party is Brazil,” he criticized President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration, interviewed allies and highlighted campaign promises.

Flávio also attacked Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who led the trial that sent his father to prison for an attempted coup. He referred to allegations involving Moraes’s proximity to banker Daniel Vorcaro, who is imprisoned over a major financial fraud case.

Flávio said a government under his leadership would be “dynamic, modern and equipped with artificial intelligence,” while exercising power “with great austerity.” He promised a major cut in public spending to reduce Brazil’s 14% official interest rate and ease household debt. He called his candidacy “a project of God,” praised his father and made an appeal to conservative voters by describing women as essential to the continuation of humanity. He also spoke by video call with his brother Eduardo, who lives in self-exile in the United States and received a four-year Supreme Court sentence in June for trying to interfere in his father’s trial by promoting U.S. government sanctions against Brazil.
