Flávio Bolsonaro Presses Hardline Crime Measures, Backs Moro for Paraná

The comments at a Lide security forum signaled PL recalibration during Supreme Court review of Rio's indirect‑election rules.

Overview

  • At a public security talk, the senator urged lowering criminal responsibility to 14 for heinous crimes and called for chemical castration of rapists, citing unverified claims of high efficacy in parts of Europe.
  • He said Sergio Moro will run for governor of Paraná with PL support after Moro announced plans to join the party.
  • PL leader Valdemar Costa Neto met with Moro and described a push to build a strong campaign platform for Flávio in Paraná, according to O Antagonista.
