"to consecrate Brazil to Jesus Christ" It is not surprising, then, that faith has come strongly into the last weeks of the campaign: Flávio symbolically promised to "consecrate Brazil to Jesus Christ," while a false news story suggesting that he wanted to eliminate the title of patroness of the country attributed to Nossa Senhora Aparecida has fueled a confrontation between evangelicals and Catholics. #ElezioniBrasile #Lula #Bolsonaro (translated)

Erika Hilton stated that Flávio Bolsonaro had taken legal action to prevent her from saying that Alfredo Gaspar, his vice-presidential candidate, was accused of the rape of a vulnerable person. According to Hilton, the case was with André Mendonça, who, according to her, had already agreed to censor her for defending Our Lady Aparecida and then backed down. Hilton described the action as an attempt at censorship and said that the accusation against Gaspar was public knowledge. She claimed she would continue to defend women and girls and denounce attempts to silence their voices. She asked for votes for herself, with the number 5070, for Sofia Favero, with the number 50700, and for Lula, with the number 13. The publication identified the campaign with the CNPJ 68.438.024/0001-60. #Censura #Justiça #Eleições2023 (translated)
