SAO PAULO, Brazil (AFP) — The son of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said he had dropped hopes of becoming the country’s ambassador to the United States.
Eduardo Bolsonaro told fellow lawmakers in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday that he had made the decision partly due to lack of support, adding that his father had not influenced his choice.
“It was a decision I had been thinking about for a long time,” he told local media in Brasilia.
“You listen to the advice of many people. There is also the issue of my electorate. I confess that the majority was not supportive.”
Faced with political and legal resistance to his nomination, Eduardo Bolsonaro — who recently turned 35, Brazil’s minimum legal age for ambassadorships — had been pushing his case for the job.

A compulsive social media user like his father, the congressman regularly posts photos of himself posing with world leaders, including US President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
Re-elected to the lower house in 2018 with a record number of votes, he had touted his experience of flipping hamburgers in the US during a work exchange program in 2005 and 2006, and his role as head of the foreign relations committee to bolster his ambassadorial credentials.
