Supporters of the pre-candidate reported “aggressions” by the team of federal deputy Rodrigo Amorim (PTB-RJ)
This Saturday (July 16, 2022), left-wing sympathizers said that Bolsonaro’s deputy Rodrigo Amorim (PTB-RJ) and a group of supporters interrupted a march in memory of PT candidate Marcelo Aloizo de Arruda, who died in Paraná. The act took place in Tijuca (RJ), with the presence of the pre-candidate for the state government, Marcelo Freixo (PSB-RJ).
Human Rights lawyer Rodrigo Mondego, who was attending the event, told the Power 360 that the militants were surprised by a group of 20 people who got out of official cars and surrounded them. They would have attacked and threatened the people who were in the act.
“When we went to the center of the square, two official cars appeared with sirens on top, and about 20 people got out, and one of those was Rodrigo Amorim. They’ve already surrounded us, already cursing people, and saying that we couldn’t walk there.”he said.

According to Mondego, some supporters of Amorim “questioned” to show were armed. For him, the trip of the deputy with his team was planned.
The lawyer also said that Freixo and the deputy Jandira Feghali (PCdoB-RJ), who was also accompanying the act, were not attacked and left the scene.
Mondego stated that he made a police report against the deputy for injury and threat. He is also a state pre-candidate and said that partner parties have “probe” open the case at Alesp (Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro).
“The parties have already made themselves available to be able to record what the deputy did. We are even probing to file a complaint with the Alesp Ethics Commission for the crime that Rodrigo Amorim committed.”
O Power 360 contacted the advisory of federal deputy Rodrigo Amorim, in order to present his position on the event, but did not receive a response until this publication. The space remains open.
Read the repercussions of the case:
“Armed Bolsonarists attacked Marcelo Freixo and supporters in Rio. If Bolsonaro does not stop encouraging hatred, we will have a very violent campaign in our country. I sympathize with Freixo and with all those who were victims of the aggressions”, published the senator Humberto Costa (PT-PE).
“INADMISSIBLE! What happened a little while ago in Praça Saens Pena, in Tijuca, is absurd. All solidarity to Marcelo Freixo, who was attacked and threatened by deputy Rodrigo Amorim, the same one who broke Marielle’s plate. Bolsonarista political violence continues to happen”, published the deputy Benedita Silva (PT-RJ).
“Solidarity to Marcelo Freixo and the democratic militancy that will sweep Fascism and Bolsonarist vagrancy from Rio de Janeiro!”, published the federal deputy Paulo Pimenta (PT-RS).
“Bolsonarist deputy interrupts walk with Freixo, say pre-candidates. Be prepared the cowardly bastard will be on the streets. That is one”published the congressman Alexandre Frota (PSDB-RJ).
