Flávio Bolsonaro Picks Gaspar as Running Mate

Flávio Bolsonaro Picks Gaspar as Running Mate

The Spin


Alfredo Gaspar is exactly the kind of running mate Brazil's right needs — a fighter with a real record on public security, proud of his roots and his values. No kowtowing to identity politics pressure, no backroom deals with the centrist machine. This ticket stands for something, and that's what separates it from the usual political noise.

Picking a running mate accused of rape and under investigation for funneling R$6 million in sketchy amendments to a mayor in Alagoas is a bold choice — boldly corrupt. Flávio Bolsonaro's political isolation reflects a candidate who can't build real alliances and doesn't transfer votes the way his father once did. This ticket is a marriage of scandal and weakness.
