Flavio Bolsonaro Named Political Heir by Jailed Father

Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro, has been chosen by his father to lead the country's conservative movement for the 2026 election.

Jair Bolsonaro is currently in jail and cannot run for office due to a 27-year sentence for trying to overthrow the government.

Flavio, who is a senator, has been asked to continue his father's political work.

He has been a politician for many years and has the support of his family.

Flavio promises to work hard to help families and protect democracy in Brazil.

He is seen as a more calm and thoughtful politician compared to his brothers.

His father's health is also a concern, as he has had serious health issues in the past.
