Rio police have opened an investigation to investigate the mother of Larissa Manoela

The Police Headquarters for Racial Crimes and Intolerance (Decradi) opened an investigation on Tuesday 22 August to investigate Silvana Taquesmother of the actress Larissa Manoela. The pedagogue was denounced for discrimination and prejudice based on religion by the Commission for the fight against religious intolerance (CCIR).

The topic came to light after the publication of a conversation between Silvana and her daughter, in which she wrote: “I forgot to congratulate you. May you have a wonderful Christmas there with all the guides of this macumbeira family”.

Silvana used the term “macumbeira” referring to the family of Larissa’s boyfriend, actor André Luiz Frambach, who is a kardecist spiritualist. The term is considered pejorative.

“discriminatory act”

According to the note from Rio’s Commission for Combating Religious Intolerance released to g1, “the configuration of this discriminatory act is presented as contemporary forms of racism, which aim to preserve the integrity of the rights of the personality, as an essential dignity of the human person”.

“Silvana’s demonstration goes beyond the limits of the free expression of ideas, constituting insult, offense and incitement to intolerance and hatred against religions of African origin, not deserving of constitutional protection and cannot be considered freedom of expression, framing it if in the crime of racism “adds the note.
