Flávio Bolsonaro says it's not over yet at event in the U.S.

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) said during a conservative event at Estados Unidos that “it’s not the end yet” and that “great things are coming.” The statement was made in a speech at the CPAC, a conference of conservative political action, according to records released this week. Flavio also commented on the defeat of the Republicans in the US midterm elections and reiterated his intention to continue leading the opposition to the Lula government.

“My word to Brazil and also here, to America, is that God is always in control of everything. The door that He opens no one closes and the door that He closes no one opens,” he said. The speech reinforces the religious tone adopted by Flavius in his recent public appearances.

Religious discourse and political project

During the speech, Flávio Bolsonaro stressed that he did not imagine being a candidate for the presidency of Brazil for a year. “But I believe it was God’s plan not only for me, but for my nation,” the senator said. The declaration signals the maintenance of his position as a possible name of the right for the next presidential elections.

The senator also urged supporters to maintain faith even in the face of adverse results. “Even when what seems to be the end is not what we expected, we have to thank God and have even more faith that it is not yet the end,” he added. The speech was interpreted as an indirect reference to the defeat of Jair Bolsonaro in the 2022 elections.

Reference to American midterms

Flávio Bolsonaro explicitly mentioned the performance of Republicans in the Estados Unidos legislative elections. “Each of us has to keep doing our part, getting closer to God, that great things are to come. I know it wasn’t the end for Brazil and I know it wasn’t the end for America,” he said. The declaration comes at a time of right-wing reconfiguration in both countries.

The senator reinforced the message of hope for his Brazilian supporters. “What I want to say to my Brazilian brothers is that the end has not yet come, a lot can happen. Because faith is exactly making sure that what we are not seeing exists, is real.”

Meet the actor of 'Dark Horse'

On social media, Flavio's brother, former federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro, posted a short video showing the senator greeting American actor Jim Caviezel at CPAC. Caviezel plays the former president Jair Bolsonaro in the film “Dark Horse.” “Now in Mar-a-Lago, Flávio Bolsonaro, at liberty, meets actor Jim Caviezel,” Eduardo wrote.

The film “Dark Horse” was funded by former banker Daniel Vorcaro of Banco Master, as Flavio admitted this year following a report from The Intercept. The senator claimed the operation was legal and did not involve public money. The film production has been used as a propaganda piece by the Bolsonaro family abroad.

Migration situation in the United States

Flávio Bolsonaro and his family joined Estados Unidos under a humanitarian stay permit, the so-called humanitarian parole, which allows them to stay in the country for a year. However, reports in the U.S. press pointed out that the Trump administration should expedite the granting of the green card, which allows permanent legal residence in the U.S., to Flavio and his family.

The senator’s stay in the United States has sparked controversy. While allies of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio have claimed that he coordinated the Senator’s trip to the US, the head of US diplomacy has denied this information. The divergence highlights the sensitivity of the issue in bilateral relations.

Trump and the Brazilian election

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who called the Brazilian election “frauded,” “strange,” and “a shame,” said Flavio can stay in Estados Unidos “as long as he wants.” However, Trump claimed he did not take sides in the polls and, according to reports from the American press, does not intend to support the senator in the power dispute in Brazil.

Trump’s statement maintains ambiguity about political support for the Bolsonaro family. In the meantime, Flávio continues to articulate his image as a leader of the conservative opposition, both in Brazil and abroad. The source did not detail the senator’s next steps after the event.

Flávio Bolsonaro’s speech at CPAC reinforces his strategy of keeping the base mobilized and projecting a presidential candidacy. The mention of “great things” and the denial of the “end” indicate that the senator intends to continue acting in the national political scene, even at a distance. For the readers of the Boca no Trombone, the unfolding of this movement may influence the Brazilian electoral table in the coming years.
