Carlos Nantes Bolsonaro (born 7 December 1982),[1] is a Brazilian politician, the second son of the 38th President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

## Background

[edit]

Bolsonaro was born on 7 December 1982 in Resende, at the Agulhas Negras Military Academy.[1] However, he did not study at the military schools there because he alleged that high-ranking officers blocked his siblings' access to the Armed Forces schools in a reprisal against his father.[1] After finishing his education there, he first started studying law for six months but eventually dropped out in order to pursue aeronaturical science.[2]

He graduated in Aeronautical Science from Estácio de Sá University[3] and has been a member of the Municipal Chamber of Rio de Janeiro since 2001, being affiliated to the Republicans.[3]

His brothers are Flávio Bolsonaro, a member of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro from 2003 until 2019[4] and currently member of the Federal Senate of Brazil, and Eduardo Bolsonaro, a member of the Chamber of Deputies since 2015.[5]

## Politics

[edit]

In 2000, Carlos Bolsonaro was the youngest councillor elected in Brazil's history,[6] having received 16,053 votes. In 2016, he was re-elected to a fifth term, being the most voted councillor of Rio de Janeiro with 106,657 votes.[7]

Carlos is credited with having created and coordinated hate cabinet, a virtual militia designed to create and spread through social media malicious content in support of his father.[8]

## Personal life

[edit]

In 2023, it was reported that Carlos is in a relationship with the economist and representative of Brazil at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Martha Seillier. Their first daughter, named Júlia, was born on 13 February 2023. She is the fourth granddaughter of the former President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.[9][10]
