Centrão sees Flávio Bolsonaro's mistake in response to the US on tariffs

Interlocutors from the so-called "Centrão" negatively evaluated the response of pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) to the issue of tariffs imposed by the United States. According to political analyst Larissa Rodrigues, the criticism came from parliamentarians from the PP, the Republicans and members of the "old PL", considered center-right and not linked to Bolsonarism.

"I heard criticism coming from all these sides. There was a parliamentarian who told me that 'it's not possible that they didn't learn anything from the Dark Horse scandal'", reported Larissa during CNN 360º this Friday (3).

The understanding among the parliamentarians consulted is that the letter sent by Flávio Bolsonaro in response to the issue of American tariffs was prepared without due care. In their assessment, the document ended up providing ammunition for criticism from President Lula.

"He has not positioned himself as a statesman", said sources interviewed by Larissa Rodrigues. "I heard that someone who wants to be [president] needs to start behaving in conversations with other countries as a representative of Brazil, leaving political issues aside and highlighting technical issues," said the analyst.

Criticism also extended to Flávio Bolsonaro's pre-campaign coordination and marketing team. Larissa recalled that there were changes in the pre-campaign communication strategy after the Dark Horse scandal. "Despite these changes, there would still be difficulties with strategy on the part of Flávio Bolsonaro" he highlighted.

The analyst drew attention to the fact that the parties that are criticizing Flávio's stance should support the senator's candidacy in the October election.
