Waack: Series of errors make time short for Flávio

So far, the main opposition pre-candidate for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) is struggling mainly with the obstacles created by his own side.

It starts with himself, involved in very dangerous connections with former banker Daniel Vorcaro. Figure at the center of a scandal that emits toxic radioactivity, as the Palácio do Planalto itself says.

But this problem is relatively new and would eventually even clear the game in relation to PT regarding who is most affected by the Master scandal. The other major obstacle created by the side itself comes from a long time ago. And it seems insoluble.

This is the degree of chaos in the Bolsonaro family. The dispute between Flávio and his stepmother Michelle Bolsonaro is not trivial. It reveals a lack of unified command of the campaign. Lack of coordination with regional allies.

Great difficulties in understanding potential supporters of the ticket. Lack of clarity about directions - therefore electoral tactics and strategies. A big problem that starts with Jair Bolsonaro himself - who only focuses on himself.

So far, polls indicate stability in the electoral dispute, despite all the froth generated by scandals, gossip and family fights. In other words, it is currently a duel of rejections on the same Lula - Bolsonaro axis as four years ago. Duels of this type are usually decided - unless unforeseen and imponderable - by the smallest of margins.

A situation that does not tolerate the slightest error. Flávio's campaign reiterates that there is still a long time until the elections. For a pre-candidate who goes from stumble to stumble, time is actually short.
