As shown at Estadao column, Zanin began early, this Tuesday 13, the “kiss of the hand” to the parliamentarians looking for support. Arriving at the building at 9 in the morning, he went to the Senator’s office Alexander Viera (PSDB-SE), went straight through the Senator’s office Sergio Moro (União Brasil-PR), a former judge of Operation Lava Jato and its fiercest opponent in Congress, has moved to the position of Luke Barretto (PSD-AP).

evangelical support

In the last week, in the race to dispel all resistance to his name, Zanin has participated in various talks with members of the evangelical group. He told the clerics that decisions about conservative programs, such as abortion and drugs, which are dear to the segment, are up to the Congress. And he pledged to take action against the Court’s initiatives which imply, in practice, “legislating” on these issues. The lawyer tries to extricate himself from the progressive agenda of the Workers’ Party.

Zanin has already met the deputy Cezinha of Madureira (PSD-SP), a major religious actor in Congress, and MP Sostenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ), second vice-president of the Chamber and former president of the Evangelical Parliamentary Front. As shown the Stadiumthe lawyer reportedly asked top management to act as a “bridge” with the religious segment.

In this pilgrimage Zanin also found closed ones. Former Bolsonaro government minister and senator Damares Alves (Republicanos-DF), who is an evangelical pastor, said she will speak to the candidate only “if it is really necessary”. And she said she’ll pray that Zanin catches her.

In practice, Zanin’s approval is taken for granted. Senate and CCJ presidents, for example, have already praised the pick of Lula, who has a larger support base in the House than in the House. This Wednesday the lawyer meets the MDB panel.
