But few people came to Flávio's event. He had only 15% of the people his father had in 2022.
Copacabana is important for Bolsonarismo. This word means the political movement of Jair Bolsonaro and his supporters.
Valdemar is a politician from Flávio's party. He said he knows who caused the small crowd.
The small crowd shows that Flávio may not have the same support as his father.
