Brazilian Parliament.
Bruno Sousa, who represents the Santa Catarina region, called for a referendum on independence, arguing that his region and southern Brazil as a whole should no longer be governed by a political majority that does not share his values. In the state of Santa Catarina, in the general elections held in Brazil, the brother of the presidential candidate and the son of the former president of Brazil, Carlos Bolsonaro, was elected senator from the state, the ardent opponent of President Lula, Filippo Mello, remained as governor, and more votes were given to Flavio Bolsonaro than to Lula da Silva who won all of Brazil.
