Bolsonaro's allies disapprove of Nikolas' support for the constitutional amendment that changes the minimum age to run for the Senate.
The assessment is that the measure could harm Bolsonaro-aligned candidates for the House.
247 - The support given by Congressman Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) to the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) that reduces the minimum age to run for the Senate from 35 to 30 years has generated dissatisfaction among allies of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL). This information comes from... CNN.
The assessment is that the measure could harm Bolsonaro-aligned candidates for the House in states like São Paulo, by opening up space for younger candidates from all parties. The proposed constitutional amendment, presented by federal deputy Eros Biondini (PL-MG), is currently in the signature-gathering phase.
Nikolas, who is 28 years old, would benefit from the change, potentially running for Senate in Minas Gerais in 2026. However, the congressman's support for the proposal was criticized by allies, who considered his stance "individualistic" and misaligned with the interests of the Bolsonaro group.
