SAO PAULO – At an Assembly of God church event on Monday night in São Paulo, President Jair Bolsonaro promised to appoint an evangelical pastor in July next year for the vacancy of Minister Marco Aurélio, in the Federal Supreme Court (STF ). .
Bolsonaro refuted the criticism he has received, even in the evangelical segment, for having chosen for the vacancy of Minister Celso de Melo, Judge Kassio Nunes Marques, of the Federal Regional Court of Region I. The ideological wing of the president’s supporters is resisting the name Kassio because they believe he is linked to the left and is not as conservative as they would like.
– Some people thought a bit hastily that it should be the first wave of the STF. It will be the second in July of next year. More than a terribly evangelical, he will be a pastor. Imagine that the Supreme session begins with a prayer. I am sure this is not my merit. It is the hand of God – Bolsonaro said.
The president’s nod to evangelicals was made during the birthday of Pastor José Wellington, 86, who is the leader of the Ministry of the Assembly of God of Belém, in São Paulo.
Bolsonaro was applauded by the faithful and presented himself as a president who shares the values of the evangelical agenda. Speaking to the faithful, Pastor José Wellington promised to pray for Bolsonaro and his government and blessed him.
