Party leader says Bolsonaro draws crowds and votes
Costa Neto eyes gains in Senate to clear legal hurdles
PL leader rooting for Trump win to boost global right
BRASILIA, Oct 17 (Reuters) - The leader of Brazil’s biggest right-wing party cannot speak to his candidate for the 2026 presidential election by court order, even though his office is across the corridor.
Valdemar Costa Neto, head of the conservative Liberal Party (PL), has to call up when arriving at party headquarters to avoid bumping into former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro in the lift. That makes it hard to plan campaign strategy.
Still, Costa Neto is banking on Congress passing a constitutional amendment that would overturn the court order banning Bolsonaro from running for office until 2030.
“Bolsonaro’s charisma is amazing. People turn out in droves. Some cry when he appears in public,” he said in an interview.
Great… Im gonna have to vote for a corrupt dumbass to avoid electing the fascist… Again… I wish we could have better options
So say we all.
We get to vote for someone who will help perpetuate Israel’s rampage across the middle east to stop electing a fascist over here in the U.S. I feel your pain.
