The pastor funded pro-() acts, recorded more than 50 videos against Alexandre de Moraes and maintained private conversations with the former president in which he advises him to produce content against the Supreme Court Minister, as well as cursing his son Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL).
Last month, it became part of the inquiry in the court that already investigates Jair and Eduardo. There was a passport, cell phone and “biblical sketches” seized in the operation of the Federal Police.
In an interview with Sheet Last Tuesday (2), the pastor calls “cowards” pastors who silence about the confrontation with the judiciary. Also cowardice would be a prison of yours, he says.
He also talks about bad words he uses in audios for Bolsonaro, says he is not a “Superman” and rejects the hypothesis of running for president, a idea that circulates behind the scenes of evangelical power.
It will be ahead, this Sunday, September 7th, a new pocket act on Paulista Avenue. “I’m not afraid of being arrested by Moraes.”
Coward
Malafaia sees three reasons for no other pastor, at least national wingspan, showing her willingness to hit Moraes.
“Number one, there are leaders who never position themselves politically, don’t like it.” These do not usually play an active role in the election, for example.
“Now, there is also another side of the coin, some cowardly, omitted leaders, who are afraid of positioning themselves because of retaliation.”
He says that after gaining investigated status, “he has an evangelical leader for fear of talking to me.” Then you saw it. “Do you want them to expose themselves to talk about politics?”
The third group, according to the pastor, is “people who cannot argue” and have no “preparation for political argument.” Better silence. “And I think it’s even smart, because the Bible says that even the fool, when he silences, he is wise.”
Prison
Malafaia does not rule out the possibility of ending up incarcerated. “If I get arrested it will be the biggest cowardice” and “Pure political and religious persecution.”
He began to be investigated for funding undemocratic acts in Bolsonaro defense, maintaining conversations in which he is accused of pressuring the former president to contest Moraes and stimulate an agenda taken as a coup.
The PF presented audios exchanged between Malafaia and Bolsonaro after the.
The pastor says he has nothing to do with sanctions. “I don’t speak English, I never spoke with any American authority, [falei] rarely with Paulo Figueiredo and Eduardo. If you arrest me, it’s pure cowardice and persecution. “
Financing
He says he has already funded Bolsonarist acts with money from his publisher, the Gospel Center, without resorting to his church’s bank account, the Assembly of God Victory in Christ.
I did not want to quantify the sum of the spending. On September 7 of the Electoral 2022, the pastor told the Sheet That by the electric trio where the then president Bolsonaro spoke, in act on Copacabana beach.
“It’s a right of mine. Now, you’re going to apologize, I’ve never seen the PT, who makes demonstrations with public money, saying how much you spent. And why do I have to say? That’s a particular question of mine, okay?”
Malafaia 2026
If the pastor’s bellicosity bothers some colleagues, others argue that he competes for the presidency next year. Two grand pastors launched the idea, a rehearsal balloon to test it in public.
Malafaia, who is not affiliated to any party, reject the hypothesis. “I’m not a candidate for anything, nor the fifth condominium stamp.”
He prefers to define himself as “a small influence on the evangelical world” and “a prophetic voice.” “Even I play, when some pastors come to talk to me. I say: friend, so I can be a presidential candidate, God has to send three angels of the first instance come to talk to me. As God won’t do it, so I never think, dream, I want to be a presidential candidate.”
PF operation
The pastor was in Portugal when GloboNews reported that he had become part of the STF inquiry. The leak of particular conversation between him and the former president “is a modus operandi to protect dictator Alexandre de Moraes” and “in my case, also to denigrate me in the face of evangelical public opinion.”
Days later, when he landed at Galeão airport in Rio, a team from PF, all “very educated with me”, took him to a room and searched “everything that is suitcase”. He was with his wife, the pastor Elizete Malafaia, and called Jorge vaccine Neto, his lawyer.
Agents seized passport, cell phone and “my biblical sketch notebooks, my work tool,” which proves to him religious persecution. There were also the wedding invitation of a pastor’s daughter and a conference that has in September, which makes her pastoral activity difficult, he says.
Relationship with the Bolsonaros
He tells two decades of friendship with Jair Bolsonaro. It was Malafaia who married Michelle in 2013.
He also said he is a friend of the former president of the former president’s older children, without larger ties. “I speak little to Eduardo and Carlos, I talk a little more to Flavio, more to Michelle and much more with Bolsonaro.”
Calling Eduardo de Babaca, as he came to light in the leaked audios, would show his freedom with his family to criticize her. “I’m an alien, not alienated or bolsominion.”
He says it was even against Eduardo’s self -exile in the US. “I’m going to say something, both I and Bolsonaro were against. But Eduardo is of older.”
Disunited right
For Malafaia, they are expected to fruition in the field that is backed by the heir’s post of Bolsonarism in 2026. “If you get Jesus’ 12 disciples, there was contradiction between them. I think it’s normal.”
“The right is not equal to the left, which Lula, arrested, released the name of Fernando Haddad [para a chapa presidencial de 2018]and the left all silent, not saying anything. “
He finds a “affront” to point out a favorite to replace the ineligible Bolsonaro, who still presents himself as an option for the pretending claim. He says he believes that “ahead, unites everyone.”
Word
Messages with Bolsonaro reveal a Malafaia sometimes faded, using expressions, “breakdown” and “club” expressions.
The use of the word proves “that I am human,” he says. “I never spent an image of evangelical superman or super santo. It even admits to speaking other profanity in audios that have not leaked.
“I get Matthew, chapter 7. Jesus says: Hypocrite, before wanting to get the cisco out of a person’s eye, he takes the post that is in his. It’s easy to criticize personal conversations, you know? Who has no sins that throws the first stone.”
