Group of right-wing women threatens to take legal action in the US against attacks by Bolsonarists on social media
A group of conservative women who work in politics are considering filing a lawsuit in the United States against individuals they claim are part of a "hate cabinet" that has been spreading attacks on social media. They claim that the authors are Brazilians linked to Bolsonarism.
One name mentioned by them is that of influencer Allan dos Santos, a follower of Olavo de Carvalho and a fugitive from Brazilian justice.
The attacks increased the reasons for Michelle Bolsonaro to record the video released last week in which she also criticizes her stepson, senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ).
In the video, Michelle even mentions attacks she received on networks from people abroad. The former first lady cites a "group of malice coordinated by those abroad who continue to act and attack me every day. Some of them even continue to appear in photos with Flávio".
Michelle seeks to build a base of conservative women
The blog heard from two members of right-wing parties who confirmed that a lawyer in the USA has already been contacted. They brought together several posts on different social networks, with attacks on women who work in politics or take a public stance on social issues.
They claim that the authors are Brazilians linked to Bolsonarism. One name cited by them is that of influencer Allan dos Santos, follower of Olavo de Carvalho and fugitive from Brazilian justice.
The content would characterize slander, defamation and insult, according to them, which can also be considered crimes in the United States.
In addition to Michelle, the most frequent targets are Senator Damares Alves (Republicanos-DF) and the governor of the Federal District, Celina Leão. But not only.
The group is considering including attacks on women from the left as well, coming from the same profiles outside Brazil.
The complaint has already reached the president of the Liberal Party (PL), Valdemar Costa Neto, and the pre-candidate for the Presidency Flávio Bolsonaro.
The demands have already reached beyond the female universe. This Wednesday (1st), deputy Marcos Feliciano made a post on the social network 'X' asking Flávio Bolsonaro to "put the fighting cocks in the box", or he would lose support from evangelicals too.
