BRASÍLIA – President Jair Bolsonaro said this Tuesday, before leading a ministerial meeting in Sunrise palace, that the government will send a federal bill to the Congress ban the so-called “gender ideology” in the country, just over two weeks after the Federal Supreme Court (STF), to declare unconstitutional, unanimously, a municipal law in Nova Gama (GO) that prohibited the discussion of gender in schools. The president made the announcement in front of the children brought to the scene by a priest.

– We know that, from 11 to 0, the Federal Supreme Court reversed a municipal law that prohibited gender ideology. I already asked Major Jorge yesterday (Oliveira), our minister (from the General Secretariat of the Presidency), to provide a federal law now, a project, and we must present it today with constitutional urgency – declared Bolsonaro, who was carrying a girl on his lap while listening to the group sing “Jesus Christ” by Roberto Carlos.

The President of the Republic has the right to request that his projects be processed urgently. In this case, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate will have 45 days to vote on the matter. If the deadline is not respected, the project will block the deliberations agenda of the House in which it is being processed, avoiding voting on any other issue.

Children recruited by the religious, a frequent visitor to the Alvorada Palace and a supporter of Bolsonaro, said next that they do not want the parental alienation law, without specifying what they mean. There is already a law in force in 2010, which provides for “interference with the psychological training of children or adolescents”.

The priest who took the children often visits the Alvorada Palace to speak to Bolsonaro. This Tuesday, they wore T-shirts with the message “Brazil Alive! No abortion!” At 8 a.m., the president and his ministerial team watched the national flag wave, which occurs once a month, before starting a meeting inside the official residence. The young people were called to make a profile with them during the interpretation of the Brazilian anthem and were embraced by Bolsonaro at the end of the event held in front of Alvorada.

Then, the Minister of Education, Abraham Weintraub, addressed the young people and the priest to talk about the textbooks delivered by the MEC throughout Brazil, which according to him are already better than last year. She also said that there is a number for the portfolio she heads and for the Ministry of Women, Family and Human Rights that is open to “any complaint.”
