In a note sent to the press, he said that he was invited to the event by Bolsonaro himself, but that hehi “prevented” from accessing the trios. Malafaia, however, denied having blocked him.

The current mayor, Ricardo Nunes (MDB), Marçal’s opponent in the dispute for the capital of São Paulo, had a discreet participation in the act. Nunes’s advisors told the Poder360 that he got on the trio next to Bolsonaro, the governor of São Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicans), and his vice-presidential candidate, Colonel Mello Araujo (PL).
