STF pressionou Centrão a não apoiar Flávio Bolsonaro, diz jornalista
O Judiciário “operou muito nos bastidores” para impedir que os partidos do Centrão – nomeadamente União Brasil, PP e Republicanos – apoiassem a candidatura de Flávio Bolsonaro à Presidência, o jornalista da CNN Brasil Caio Junqueira disse num programa da emissora.

Judiciário interveniu behind the scenes to prevent centrist parties from backing Flávio Bolsonaro for President, according to CNN Brasil journalist Caio Junqueira. Sources within the Supreme Court and other judges informed key figures that supporting Flávio would accelerate investigations against them, particularly those tied to the Master Bank scandal.
Despite ideological affinities with the Bolsonarista faction, União Brasil, PP, and Republicanos ultimately declared neutrality in the presidential election. The PP, presided over by Senator Ciro Nogueira, a close ally of Jair Bolsonaro, even withdrew its support and blocked a potential alliance between Flávio and senator Tereza Cristina.
Flávio had planned to appoint ex-minister Daniel Vorcaro as his vice-presidential candidate, but withdrew after learning of Ciro Nogueira's criticisms. The PL nominated federal deputy and ex-Justice Minister Alfredo Gaspar as their vice-presidential candidate. Junqueira explained that the STF's pressure is tied to the election deciding the future of the Court, as a future president will appoint four new justices.
With several justices set to retire, the President could influence the ideological balance of the STF and form a majority to investigate members like Alexandre de Moraes, implicated in the Master Bank case.
