➡️ On April 4, 2019, a singular image posted on Facebook shows a gray-haired man wearing a patterned shirt and white pants, posing in front of the Palácio da Alvorada in Brasília, the official residence of the president of the republic. At the time, the president was Jair Messias Bolsonaro, who had recently taken office after the 2018 elections.

➡️ The photo was published by the Mega Model Brasília agency with a caption of thanks: “Jean-Luc Brunel was here today for a casting to take our models to New York.” Brunel was not merely passing through. The trip was an expedition. The search for models took him to cities in the Central-West region, in the heart of Brazil.

✈️ Before arriving in Brasília, Brunel reportedly passed through other cities in the Southeast, including São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as the South and the Northeast. Epstein’s agent’s proposal was ambitious: to set up a new agency in Brazil, the “One Mother Agency.” To that end, he allegedly sought Fernanda’s help to recruit “the best girls in Brazil.” “It was Marcela*, 13 years old, whom he liked the most,” Fernanda recounts, referring to one of the three teenage models who became the focus of the Frenchman’s interest.

“We will be together one way or another, because we want to be with the best, and here in Bahia, we are going with ACM Neto,” states the PL president, who assured that “our candidate is Flávio Bolsonaro, we will move forward and we will win this election.”

“LETTER TO BRAZILIANS

Throughout my life I have faced hard battles, paying a high price, with my health and family, to defend what I believe to be best for our Brazil.

In light of this scenario of injustice, and with the commitment not to allow the popular will to be silenced, I make the decision to nominate Flávio Bolsonaro as a pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic in 2026.

I hand over what is most important in a father’s life: his own son, for the mission of rescuing our Brazil. This is a conscious, legitimate decision, supported by the desire to preserve the representation of those who trusted me.

He is the continuation of the path of prosperity that I began long before becoming president, for I believe that we need to resume the responsibility of leading Brazil with justice, firmness, and loyalty to the aspirations of the Brazilian people.

May God bless him and empower him in leading this movement of millions of Brazilians who honor God, the Fatherland, the Family, and Freedom.

Brasília, December 25, 2025.

Jair Messias Bolsonaro.”

“El Salvador was always an underdeveloped country, but the worst place—the most dangerous, abandoned, and battered—was the Historic Center of San Salvador.

It was an area destroyed by earthquakes, a civil war, decades of disorder, and more than 30 years of gangs. It was called the ‘Historic Center’ because the true center of the city shifted elsewhere, and that place was left abandoned to its fate.

Recovering it is much more expensive and difficult than simply developing a new area, but achieving it is a clear and undeniable sign of El Salvador’s rebirth.”
