Michelle Bolsonaro Rebukes Allan dos Santos as Tarcísio ‘CEO’ Remark Deepens Right-Wing Rift

Overview

• Cristiane Freitas wrote that Brazil needs a “new CEO, my husband,” on Tarcísio de Freitas’s post, and the São Paulo governor liked the comment after sharing a campaign‑toned video criticizing the PT.
• Michelle Bolsonaro denied backing a Tarcísio presidential bid after Allan dos Santos suggested otherwise, calling him a “ventriloquist’s puppet” and saying her preference is Jair Bolsonaro.
• Bolsonarista figures attacked the ‘CEO’ framing, with Paulo Figueiredo arguing that “the country is not a company,” and Carlos Bolsonaro posted an image linking the label to ex‑governor João Doria.
• Fresh Genial/Quaest data show Lula leading but with tighter second‑round margins, beating Tarcísio 44%–39% and Flávio Bolsonaro 45%–38%.
• In first‑round scenarios, Flávio has consolidated in second place with 23% when tested alongside Tarcísio at 9%, complicating center‑right and Centrão alliance plans that had weighed a Tarcísio-led ticket.
