Pastor Everaldo

Everaldo Dias Perreira (born February 22, 1956 in Rio de Janeiro ), known as Pastor Everaldo , is a Brazilian politician, businessman and clergyman of the Assembleias de Deus organization . Perreira is chairman of the right-wing religious Partido Social Cristão (PSC).

Life

He grew up as the son of the Pentecostal pastor Heraldo Perreira with five siblings in Acari . In his youth he did odd jobs, working as a banana seller and roofer. He later worked for an insurance company and studied at the Economy and Finances College of Rio de Janeiro . He is second married to Ester Batista , with whom he has three children.

politics

Perreira made a career in the waters of the future governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro , Anthony William Matheus de Oliveira , called Garotinho . Under him he became deputy chief of staff of the state government. In 2003 he became vice president of the Partido Social Cristão. In 2014, as a candidate for the PSC, he received 0.75% of the vote in the presidential election.

Perreira represents economically liberal positions, strict anti-communism and evangelical-conservative social ideals. He strictly rejects abortion and same-sex marriages and he denies climate change.

Controversy

Pastor Everaldo is considered a controversial figure in Brazil. His first wife, Katia Maia, sued him for domestic violence , in which she suffered an eardrum damage, initially successfully and was awarded 85,000 reais , but the sentence was overturned. Perreira alleged that he merely defended himself following a car chase through the streets of Rio de Janeiro. In August 2016, Pereira threatened a young woman after she was assaulted and sexually assaulted by the party leader of the PSC, Pastor Marco Feliciano , and then refused to accept bribes as compensation.

In 2017, it emerged that Pereira had asked then President of the Chamber of Deputies, Eduardo Cunha , about bribes in the 2012 local elections .

On August 28, 2020, he was arrested by federal police in the same investigation that led to the removal of Wilson Witzel , governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro, from office.
