Bolsonaro's son confirms 2026 presidential run

Bolsonaro's son confirms 2026 presidential run

Flavio Bolsonaro, a senator in Brazil, has said he will definitely run for president in 2026.

He visited his father, who is a former president and is now in prison, before making this announcement.

Flavio had earlier suggested he might not run, but now he says his decision is final.

He wants to challenge the current president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

However, the head of Lula's party, Edinho Silva, thinks it's hard to take Flavio's candidacy seriously because he had previously said he might not run.

This means there might be an interesting election in Brazil in a few years.
