Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) was invited, this Thursday (16), to participate in the Annual Conference on Conservative Political Action (CPAC), which will be held in March in Washington, capital of the United States.

The invitation was made by Michael Schlapp, president of the American Conservative Union, in an interview with the Washington Examiner website. According to him, Bolsonaro would have already accepted the invitation to speak at the event, but the former president has not yet spoken.

“It is an honor to welcome former President Bolsonaro to CPAC, and our attendees will get his perspective on what is happening in the fight for freedom here and in Brazil,” Schlapp told the site.

The president of the American Conservative Union recalled that the CPAC has recently held similar conventions in Latin America, including Mexico and Brazil. One of them took place in Campinas (SP), in June last year, organized by federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL).

The conference will be attended by former President Donald Trump; former US ambassador to the UN and Republican presidential candidate Nikky Haley; Senators Ted Cruz and Rick Scott, among others.

Still according to Schlapp, Bolsonaro is expected to present his plans to run for the Brazilian presidential election in 2026. The CPAC will be held between March 1st and 4th.
