Biazita Gomes stated that part of the evangelicals supported Flávio Bolsonaro for a religious power project, and not for a project for the country.

Pope Leo XIV wrote that, in the Gospel of the day (Mt 22:1-14), Jesus presented a wedding feast prepared by a king for his son. The pontiff compared the celebration to the lives of the faithful and the banquet hall to the churches, homes, and other places where they live, saying that Jesus Christ returned every day to declare His love to them and awaited their response. #Jesus #Fé #Amor (translated)

Jeje questioned why the Electoral Public Ministry had not yet requested the annulment of Flávio Bolsonaro's slate. He stated that the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) had a consolidated understanding that the use of churches and religious leaders to promote candidacies could constitute an abuse of power and lead to the annulment of the registration and the ineligibility of those involved. He cited a decision from the TSE as an example, according to which statements made from the pulpit during public worship and in front of a large audience indicated that the structure and religious authority had been used to promote candidacies, and not only for spiritual purposes (TSE. Rel. Min. Antônio Carlos Ferreira. AREspe 0600354-26.2024.6.26.0220). He also mentioned Article 24, Item VIII, of the Electoral Code, which prohibited parties and candidates from receiving donations, including through advertising, from charitable and religious entities. #Eleições2024 #JustiçaEleitoral #AbusoDePoder (translated)

Gabo criticized what he considered a contrast: someone baptized in the Catholic Church, who attended catechism, received confirmation, and married in the church, would be seen as inadequate, while a candidate who attended a church with a VIP area and black walls, where, according to him, the equivalent of 10% of the salary was requested, would be favored. https://t.co/Nx9taGd3B3 #IgrejaCatólica #Cidadania #Ética (translated)

Felipe Leme stated that Flávio had married in a Catholic church and was targeted by a fake news story involving Our Lady, which he classified as the most repugnant of those elections. He added that those responsible would not be forgiven. #FakeNews #Eleições2023 #Religião (translated)

Guga Noblat praised the speech of former congressman and pastor Otoni de Paula during Lula's march in Ceilândia (DF). He stated that he had considered cutting the video but thought it was worth listening to in full. According to Noblat, Otoni accused Bolsonaro of having appropriated the right and the church. https://t.co/fyfYCwKGMl #Lula #OtoniDePaula #Ceilândia (translated)

David Ágape stated that the PT deputy Ana Elisa deleted her profile on X after controversial posts went viral, but that they had been saved. According to him, Lula's campaign was irritated with the deputy because they believed she harmed the president's image. Ágape said the posts included racist statements, requests for Lula to close churches, and an accusation he classified as false against Flávio Bolsonaro, claiming he wanted to revoke the title of patroness. He also stated that Ana Elisa had expressed support for abortion after the 22nd week of pregnancy, about five and a half months. https://t.co/jtaXPWh4T8 #Política #Lula #AnaElisa (translated)

Joaquin Teixeira Eterno stated that, in less than 24 hours, Lula's campaign coordinator would have advocated for closing churches. He also attributed to Vorcaro the statement that he had put even more into Lula's film, but that the support would have been done "on the side" and incorrectly, unlike Flávio's case, who would have asked for sponsorship. Teixeira concluded that there would have been nothing left for the PT. #Lula #PT #Eleições2022 (translated)

Pedro Menin assessed that an interview with Vorcaro to Globo could harm Lula and benefit Flávio. He called Vorcaro a criminal but also intelligent and speculated that he could blame members of the Workers' Party and say that Flávio's money was intended solely for a film. Menin also suggested that Vorcaro might align himself with the right to gain future advantages in trials. In Menin's view, supporting Lula would be a poor strategy among evangelicals, a group that, according to him, had a 70% rejection rate of the president—a percentage that could reach 90% after the leak of old tweets attributed to Ana Elisa, the PT's coordinator, about churches and believers. He stated that Vorcaro and his brother-in-law were pastors and speculated that they could turn to the church's power if their businesses did not succeed. Menin said that an attempt to prevent the interview could be seen as censorship and could lead to a 65 to 35 defeat for Lula in the second round. He also predicted that a victory for Flávio could initiate an impeachment process against Moraes and trigger a historic rise in the stock market in the following months. He noted that the text was merely a guess, that he had no non-public information, and that he could be very wrong. #Brasil #Política #Eleições2024 (translated)
