The Spanish MEP Hermann Tertsch declared his support for Flavio Bolsonaro and said the senator could “save Brazil” from what he called Lula’s “narcosocialist mafia.”

The statement was made while discussing the Brazilian political landscape. Tertsch also criticized the Lula administration and said that Flavio Bolsonaro represents an alternative for the country.

The remarks gained traction on social media and sparked comments among both supporters and critics of the government. The expression used by the MEP is a political opinion, not a proven conclusion about the Brazilian government.
