Republicanos backs Flávio Bolsonaro; coalition deal includes ministry posts, Congress leadership

Republicanos will officially endorse Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's presidential bid, with Governor Tarcísio de Freitas present. The support is part of a broader coalition agreement among PL, União, PP, and Republicanos to allocate ministries and secure leadership of both congressional chambers, including Hugo Motta's re-election as Chamber president and Rogério Marinho's bid for Senate presidency. This consolidates the right-wing bloc behind Flávio, strengthening his campaign at its peak.
