one of the most vocal names of the right -wing right, has been more to “Lula there” than here. It happened first in the 1989 presidential election, when the rising televangelist, a young mustache pastor, participated in the Evangelical Labor Committee.
This left totem jammed in the first round, and Malafaia headed against the pastoral tide by endorsing the candidacy of. The petista, by that time, was already turned with that he would close evangelical churches – at the time, they would say it to please Catholic friends linked to liberation theology.
While the already powerful bishop encouraged faithful to “Collorir” against “the devil on the tightrope”, nothing subtle allusion to the clash between Fernando Collor and Lula, Malafaia alluded to the left. He repeated the dose in 2002, when he appeared in the petista’s electoral propaganda against (PSDB).
His first choice was the presbyterian Anthony Garotinho, who did not move to the second round. Former PSB Petista, he said himself the leftist among all the candidates of that year.
Social networks recently resurrected a video in which the leader of the Assembly of God Victory in Christ disapproves of the participation of the Church in politics, because Jesus argued more than 20 years ago, “there is no voter title here in Brazil.”
. There was his cell phone seized on Wednesday (20), at Galeão airport. Days earlier, it was included in the Supreme Court (STF) inquiry, which investigates former President Bolsonaro (PL) and his son Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), federal deputy.
In addition to delivering his cell phone to the authorities, the pastor has received orders not to leave the country or maintain contact with other investigated. The rapporteur is with the minister, whom Malafaia referred countless times as a “dictator of the toga”.
He broke with the PT before Lula ended his second term. Conservative has always been, and to this day maintains that he only supported Lula in the first post-dictatorship military claim because he believed that the petista would help the poor, mostly in evangelical churches.
He is repeated that he has not listened to his father, the Navy’s officer and also a pastor. “He said to me, ‘You’re wrong, they don’t detach from your ideologies.'”
From then on, he made some folds with a low clergy deputy known for radicalized lines. Topics as a bill that criminalized homophobia united Mafalaia and Bolsonaro. He was the one who married the parliamentarian with, who was already faithful to his church.
He likes to tell that before the ceremony in 2013, Bolsonaro would have confided to him that he would try the Presidency of the Republic, which he found without foot or head on the day.
Conservative nods have intensified over the years. In 2010, Malafaia printed hundreds of outdoors in the river where he read: “in favor of the family and the preservation of the human species.”
In the same year, she spent 15 minutes on the phone with candidate Dilma Rousseff (PT) explaining that she would not support her for believing she was pro-abortion, as she reported to Sheet two years later.
Malafaia was one of the first plaintiffs to embark on the Bolsonarist adventure in 2018, when many colleagues bet their electoral records in Geraldo Alckmin, still right -wing and affiliated with the PSDB.
He was the advisor of President Bolsonaro – sine pairs of faith said he had free turnstile at the Planalto Palace. He would then stand as one of the few national projection leaders who did not diminish the decibels in favor of pockets, defeated at the polls and already in the line of justice for alleged attempted coup and scandals such as Saudi jewelry.
Malafaia left for all or nothing, they say behind the scenes leading evangelical leaders who wore the pocketsist shirt in 2018 and 2022, but today she became a hood. They still like Jair, but they calculate if it would be worth adopting Malafaia’s war tone in his defense. They don’t want problems with Moraes.
Malafaia says that types like this are cowered. He, no. He played electric trios for Bolsonaro to speak at events like OE recorded dozens of videos folding the bet against Moraes.
One of the last, he said the STF minister moved “with the wrong guy” and does not fear him. He has stated other times that he is not afraid of being arrested. An expression that runs on WhatsApp: his insistence on Peitar Moraes, finally, will lead him to sink with Bolsonaro in a “drowned hug.”
