Senator Arolde de Oliveira (PSD-RJ) died on Wednesday night (21), at the age of 83, a victim of covid-19. He had been hospitalized since October 4, when his health deteriorated. The congressman was diagnosed with the disease in early September.
On Twitter, the family mourned the death of the parliamentarian: “We announced that tonight (October 21) the Lord Jesus took our dear brother, Senator Arolde de Oliveira, for him. family appreciates the love and prayer. More information later “.
In April this year, the senator posted on a social network that social isolation to prevent the spread of the coronavirus was “useless.” “The figures of the Chinese virus in the world and in Brazil demonstrate the futility of social isolation. Authorities, alarmists for convenience, destroyed the productive sector and created millions of unemployed. President Jair Bolsonaro, isolated by the STF, was right from the beginning “the MP wrote on Twitter on April 19.
Arolde was also involved in the murder of Pastor Anderson do Carmo, husband of Congresswoman Flordelis (PSD-RJ). According to information from the newspaper “Extra” on January 22 of this year, the pastor’s cell phone was connected to the Wi-Fi at Senator Arolde’s house, in Barra da Tijuca (RJ), hours after the murder. Anderson was assassinated on June 16, 2019.
According to the report, the device was activated with a chip in the name of the businesswoman Yvelise de Oliveira, Arolde’s wife. The Civil Police investigation also indicates that, after being used in Rio, the cell phone went to Brasilia, according to TV Globo.
Arolde was Rio’s municipal secretary of transportation and was elected federal deputy for the first time in 1984. He remained in the Chamber for nine consecutive terms. In 2018 he was elected senator with the support of Pastor Silas Malafaia and the Bolsonaro family.
Arolde de Oliveira’s first alternate, Carlos Portinho, will occupy the Senate seat. Also a member of the PSD, Portinho was Secretary of Housing in the administration of former mayor Eduardo Paes (DEM) and is very close to federal deputy Hugo Leal (PSD-RJ) and former deputy Indio da Costa (PSD).
Today, Portinho is campaigning on social networks for the candidacy of Luiz Lima (PSL-RJ) to the City of Rio. Allies of Paes attribute to Portinho the leak of a video in which the mayor uses bad words when handing over a popular house to a beneficiary. The content was used by opponents in the campaign for state government in 2018 and has been used in the campaign for city council this year.
