Eduardo aims to build international support, particularly among U.S. Republicans, for his father and their political movement. He has also expressed intentions to advocate for amnesty for those convicted in connection with the riots.
The move signals an effort to strengthen Bolsonaro’s political influence abroad while navigating domestic legal pressures.
