Bolsonaro Backs Nunes for Sao Paulo Mayor, Despite Previous Promises

Pablo Marçal, a candidate for mayor of Sao Paulo, has accused Jair Bolsonaro of betraying his principles by endorsing the re-election of Ricardo Nunes. Marçal, who is running on the PRTB ticket, stated that Bolsonaro was pressured by the president of his political party, Valdemar Costa Neto, to support Nunes. He further commented on Bolsonaro’s past promises, stating that he had initially assured supporters he wouldn’t be swayed by political pressure but has since made a deal with Costa Neto. Despite this, Marçal remains hopeful for victory and maintains he won’t oppose Bolsonaro, seeking to distance himself from the former president’s controversial image.
