Bolsonaro can create phenomenon similar to Fujimorism, says Joaquim de Carvalho

“Some of his children could inherit the estate,” he told TV 247. Bolsonaro has been condemned by the TSE and will not be allowed to run in the next election

Joaquim de Carvalho and Jair Bolsonaro

247 Journalist Joaquim de Carvalho analyzed the political future of Bolsonarianism after the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) decision declaring Jair Bolsonaro (PL) ineligible. Carvalho emphasized that while Bolsonaro may not be able to stand as a candidate in the next elections, his political legacy can exert influence through his children.

According to Carvalho, the political phenomenon of Fujimorism in Peru can be an interesting point of reference to understand what can happen in the Brazilian scenario. He mentions that Jair Bolsonaro, like Alberto Fujimori in Peru, could become a political “ghost” not directly holding office but influencing the directions of the right and the extreme right.

Carvalho believes that Federal MP Eduardo Bolsonaro (PLSP), one of Jair Bolsonaro’s sons, can step into that legacy and follow in his father’s footsteps. On TV 247, he compared Eduardo to Keiko Fujimori, who was not elected in Peru’s last elections but had a significant impact, making it difficult and preventing the emergence of another candidacy. In this way, Carvalho hints that Eduardo Bolsonaro could be a candidate for the right, creating a scenario in which Bolsonarianism would still be present even without the direct presence of Jair Bolsonaro. “Bolsonaro will be a ghost. Should he succeed in building a candidacy for the right, it would be Eduardo Bolsonaro, one of his children. She becomes a Keiko Fujimori who is not elected but shuffles, hinders and prevents the emergence of another candidacy. It may have the same Fujimori effect here. You will have Bolsonaro as that ghost.”

However, the political scenario could change significantly by the next elections, and the impact of Bolsonarianism will depend on several factors.
