Argentina President Milei Flies to Brazil to Kick-Start Bolsonaro Presidential Bid
The rare foreign endorsement comes as Flavio Bolsonaro trails Lula by 8 percentage points in a potential runoff, pollster Quaest said.
- On Friday, Argentine President Javier Milei arrives in Brazil to endorse Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's presidential run at a party convention, aiming to energize the campaign after months of scandal and infighting.
- Senator Flavio Bolsonaro trails President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in polls, weakened by scandals and his father, President Jair Bolsonaro, serving house arrest for a failed coup plot. Other conservative parties have avoided backing his candidacy.
- Seeking to differentiate himself, Flavio has proposed lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 16 from 18 and cutting taxes. Political analyst Rafael Favetti noted that "Flavio's campaign is facing internal erosion" due to his father's lingering influence.
- The endorsement extends a regional wave of right-wing electoral wins, mirroring conservatives' shared agenda of "order first, markets second, and a closer relationship with Washington," according to JPMorgan analysis this week.
- Beyond Brazil, the Argentine leader will travel to Peru for the July 28 inauguration of Keiko Fujimori, to Ecuador for talks with President Daniel Noboa, and to Colombia for the August 7 inauguration of Abelardo de la Espriella.
