Flávio Bolsonaro, the presidential candidate for the Partido Liberal (PL), is promoting a security plan that closely resembles the model implemented by El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, according to recent reports. During a rodeo festival in Barretos, which took place on 22 August 2026, Flávio emphasized his commitment to reviving Brazil's agricultural sector, stating that agribusiness is "the heart of Brazil" and aims to become a "great worldwide pride" again.
The PL presidential candidate also proposed a series of stringent anti-crime measures, inspired by Bukele's approach, which include the construction of new maximum-security prisons, harsher criminal legislation, and lower age limits for criminal responsibility.
