Valdemar compares Bolsonaro to Che Guevara when talking about charisma, but then backwards

The national president of the Liberal Party (PL), Valdemar Costa Neto, compared former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) to the left leader Che Guevara by citing the politician’s voting capacity to next year’s elections on Monday, 25.

“The bolsonaro vote transfer force is unbelievable. His voter is faithful. And these things (lawsuits against Bolsonaro in court) are causing him to become a Che Guevara,” Valdemar said in an interview with GloboNews after participating in a debate in Brazil 2025. The event brought together political leaders to discuss the scenario and the 2026 elections.

According to the PL president, “Che Guevara had a charisma like Bolsonaro’s. And he is remembered to this day. So much so that Fidel, while he didn’t put him out of Cuba, did not settle down. From now 30, 40 years, the way they are doing things with Bolsonaro, you will have boys, people with the Bolsonaro T -shirt.”

After the statement, the president of the acronym published a note clarifying that he was not exactly comparing the two leaders. “Let it be clear: I never compared Bolsonaro with Che Guevara, because the Cuban was left and made it clear. What I compared was the process of mythification and reaffirming: they are turning Bolsonaro into a martyr, an even bigger myth than it is.

“If Tarcisio is a candidate for president, he will go to the PL,” says Valdemar

According to the president of the subtitle, the confirmation arose during a meeting with other governors

Valdemar also said he was concerned about Bolsonaro’s health, but stressed that if the former president was free, “healed on the spot.”

The former president has been under house arrest for three weeks. Allies who visit him report concern with his physical and mental health. “It’s very downcast,” he said. “But if he was free, he would heal on the spot. His moral state is because of that,” said the PL president, according to the newspaper “Folha de São Paulo”.

“He doesn’t deserve to be where he is. How would you feel in his place? And see the prestige he has? ‘And I can’t be a candidate?'” Valdemar said, highlighting the former president’s vote transfer potential.

During the panel, Valdemar said Bolsonaro has the capacity to transfer about 30% of the votes to another name.

“If we have a candidate, for example, whale (Rossi), it has to be a well -known name. Whale candidate for the Presidency of the Republic will hit, calculating there, 8%, 10%. Then you put, with support from Bolsonaro, 38%, 39%. I did this test now, this is the second time I do. His transfer is crazy, he transfers at least 30%. said the president of PL.
