Bolsonaro brother asks God's mercy for Brazil after Flávio flees to Miami

Carlos Bolsonaro, senator-elect for Santa Catarina, published a message on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, asking God to have mercy on Brazil, following his brother Flávio Bolsonaro's arrival in Miami with his family after leaving the country. Carlos was the first family member to speak publicly after Flávio's departure, which occurred after the Supreme Federal Court ordered him to surrender his passports and remain in Brazil. Carlos did not directly mention his brother or comment on the circumstances of his exit. Carlos also visited his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest, and said he is still processing recent events. Carlos described the visit as emotional, saying his father told him to "lift his head" and that there is much work left for Brazil.
