Valdemar Costa Neto, the president of Brazil's Liberal Party (PL), has announced the dissolution of the party's national women's leadership, the PL Mulher. The decision comes shortly after Michelle Bolsonaro, the former first lady and the president of PL Mulher, stepped down from her position.
Costa Neto explained his reasoning for the dissolution, stating that women within the party tend to create problems amongst themselves. He further elaborated that, in his view, no other woman within the party currently measures up to the stature and capabilities of Michelle Bolsonaro.
The move signifies a significant shift in the party's structure concerning its female representation. Michelle Bolsonaro had been a prominent figure in the PL, and her departure from the leadership of the women's wing leaves a void that Costa Neto appears unwilling to fill with other members at this time. The party will now operate without a formal national women's directorate.
