Brazil: Former Justice Minister Sérgio Moro remains focused on the presidential election

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Sérgio Moro and his new party, União Brasil, continue to give contradictory versions about which office the former minister will run for in October. Moro continues to share with allies that he maintains his project for the presidential office, while the party wants Moro as a candidate for federal deputy in São Paulo State to attract votes.

One of the signs that Moro insists on being a presidential candidate is that the evangelical core of his Podemos pre-campaign continues to work full steam ahead, with a national focus.

The group is negotiating meetings in the coming days with international Christian entities, such as the World Evangelical Alliance and the Religious Liberty Partnership. These are more common agendas in presidential campaigns than state ones. Also on the list of upcoming meetings is the Federation of Evangelical Therapeutic Communities of Brazil (Feteb).

Moro’s evangelical core leader, lawyer Uziel Santana, continues working normally. Last week, in a farewell letter to the leadership of Podemos, Santana said he still has “great hope” for the former judge’s campaign.
