The President of Republicans, Marcos Pereira, opened a crack in the segment.
In a video released on Wednesday (19), Malafaia called Pereira “cretin” and “a shame” for evangelicals for suggesting that it would not be time for congressmen to analyze the amnesty project involved in the scammers of January 8. The pastor is a notorious defender of the agenda and organized (16) with Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in Rio de Janeiro to support her.
The speech caused reactions of deputies and evangelical leaders. Pereira himself retaliated on social networks. He said that “unfortunately, exudes and exudes hatred,” which makes him no longer reflect and manifest himself intelligently. “
The pair of faith, according to the parliamentarian, would be “a kind of Rasputin Tupiniquim” that “even foaming through his mouth in his manifestations full of cholera.” He also wrote on social network: “Malafaia, who thinks he is a good shepherd, should take care of the sheep or become a de facto politician, compete for an election and speak from within parliament as a parliamentarian.”
He also stated that the leader of the Assembly of God Victory in Christ should stop “induce war” and mirror people like him, who work for “pacification.”
Pereira leads the party of Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, well rated as candidate on the right in 2026 in view of Bolsonaro’s ineligibility. He is also a licensed bishop of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, as well as Marcelo Crivella (Republicans-RJ), the nephew of, founder of the denomination.
Crivella supported the church and party colleague. He said that Malafaia “mistaken” when playing the interview given by Pereira. He argued that the Republican bench is favorable to amnesty and even captured a bill in favor of her, which ended up not moving in the House.
Deputy Otoni de Paula (MDB-RJ) told the Sheet Being legitimate “Malafaia’s right to do any kind of criticism, although I understood that it would be much better if he came to the political field, and then began to give his political opinions.”
“What I criticize is the inelegant and disrespectful way as he dealt with President Marcos Pereira, who is a politician respected by all in Brasilia, regardless of ideological bias,” he said. “Treating it of cretin is at least a lack of elegance, and a stance that is not expected of a religious leader.”
In a speech in the House, Otoni pointed out that Pereira “at no time” said it was against amnesty, but it was not a good time to vote for the project. “The position is technical, he is a lawyer.”
Otoni, a faithful squire of pockets in the recent past, is now regarded as (PT). He played the presidency of the evangelical bench with Gilberto Nascimento (PSD-SP), ally of Malafias About themes that polarize Brasilia.
Malafaia spread on Thursday (20) new video, addressed to the two parliamentarians of Republicans, Pereira and Crivella. “Let’s tell the truth, you are low,” he said. He also spoke of “Ds Dissimulated Conversation” and asked the duo to leave “lie and cynicism”, because they would not be in favor of the amnesty, according to the pastor.
“From so much he walks with the PT and Lula, he has the same narrative from the left: ‘Malafaia with hate speech,'” he said about Pereira.
Behind the scenes, the impression prevails that Malafaia has passed the point when lucky Pereira with such virulence. But there is also some distrust about what is seen as approaching the Republicans leader with the petista government.
The report heard pastors and evangelical deputies on the subject. Four of them ruled out openly, but ratified this line of reasoning.
Apostle Cesar Augusto, who in the election did not hide his enthusiasm for Bolsonaro, has a good synthesis of the situation. It is said in favor of Malafaia regarding the need to amnesty arrested by January 8 that he considers innocent, except “who really participated in any act against the government, against public heritage, which had this intention to coup” “
It only ponders the tone used by the pastor. “Maybe I would talk differently, but it’s a matter of temperament. I think a discussion at a very heated level that comes out of the balance level is harmful to the evangelical environment.”
