Senator stated that “no one can handle four more years of PT” and said that the political group will continue to be mobilized “until victory”

Questioned by Estadão/Political Broadcast At the scene, Flávio said he wore the vest because he knows the risks to his safety. The senator’s press office said that it was a recommendation from the team that takes care of protecting the presidential candidate. According to a Federal Police agent who accompanied him, the reason was a “real threat of fire”.

Bolsonaro was admitted to a hospital on the day of the incident and to this day suffers complications from the attack.

Flávio was the last to speak at this Sunday’s demonstration. In the speech, which lasted around 15 minutes, the senator said that Bolsonaro, arrested in Papudinha for the coup plot, will climb the ramp of the Palácio do Planalto in January 2027 if he wins the dispute in October this year.

In his speech, Flávio also attacked President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), made a gesture to the female audience, praised Bolsa Família, defended his father and the desire to move forward with the impeachment of ministers of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in 2027, with a new elected Parliament.
