During her speech, Michele cited Ciro’s attacks on former President Jair Bolsonaro and questioned Ceará’s guide strategy.
He added: “Allying with the man who stands against the greatest leader of the right, this is not possible. (…) The person keeps saying that the family is a family of thieves, a family of criminals. He compares President Bolsonaro to a chicken thief. So, there is no way.”
