Tarcísio Visits Bolsonaro Under House Arrest After STF Authorization

Strict court controls over Bolsonaro's contacts frame the right's search for a 2026 standard-bearer.

Overview

  • São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas met Jair Bolsonaro at his Brasília home on September 29, with Senator Flávio Bolsonaro present.
  • Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized the in-person visit under the terms of Bolsonaro's custody.
  • This was Tarcísio's second authorized visit since Bolsonaro began serving house arrest on August 4.
  • Tarcísio faces pressure from conservative allies to consider a 2026 presidential bid, though he has said he plans to seek reelection as governor.
  • Outside the condominium, left-wing activists protested and legislators continue to debate shifting proposals that would reduce, rather than erase, sentences for January 8 convictions.
