Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) authorized the resumption of visits from Carlos Bolsonaro and Jair Renan Bolsonaro to former President Jair Bolsonaro. The decision was announced on Friday, the 21st, and allows the sons to visit their father during his current house arrest situation.

However, Moraes stipulated that the meetings cannot serve political or electoral purposes, nor can they facilitate the dissemination of manifestos with political content. This restriction was imposed to prevent any type of campaign or political mobilization during the election period.

The visits were previously prohibited, but the current authorization marks a new development in Jair Bolsonaro's situation. The former president has been barred from public events and electoral activities due to judicial decisions affecting him.

According to reports, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, also a son of Jair Bolsonaro and a candidate for the Presidency, remains prohibited from meeting his father until the elections are over, maintaining a familial separation during this period.

This authorization from Moraes follows existing legal guidelines, demonstrating an effort to balance family visitation rights with restrictions imposed due to legal issues related to the former president.
