History of friction
This is not the first time Michelle has positioned herself against an alliance with Ciro. Last December, she had already criticized the PL's attempt in Ceará to approach the former governor, who is a pre-candidate for state governor and is well-placed in the polls against the current governor, Elmano de Freitas.
At the time, Michelle stated that she could not support "a man who has caused so much harm" to her husband and family. She also held Ciro responsible for reinforcing negative narratives against Bolsonaro, including frequent accusations made by the former minister in political clashes.
Reaction from Bolsonaro's sons
The former first lady's statements provoked a strong reaction among the former president's sons. Senator Flávio Bolsonaro described her stance as "authoritarian" and said that Michelle disregarded decisions previously authorized by Jair Bolsonaro regarding political maneuvering in Ceará.
Carlos Bolsonaro and Eduardo Bolsonaro also defended their father's political strategy and criticized Michelle's public stance. Days later, Flávio backtracked and apologized, which helped reduce internal tension within the party.
Political landscape in Ceará

Michelle's new stance, however, once again exposes divisions within the Bolsonaro camp and could impact political negotiations in the state.
