The governor of São Paulo and candidate for re-election, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), did not attend the Civic Parade of September 7th at the Anhembi Sambodrome, sending Vice Governor Felicio Ramuth in his place. Instead, Tarcísio accompanied Senate candidate Flavio Bolsonaro (PL) to a worship service at the Mundial Church of the Power of God.
At the church, the candidates were received by Pastor Valdemiro Santiago, with the ceremony taking place in front of a large flag of Brazil and Bishop Franciléia de Oliveira also wearing the national colors. The event combined political elements with the church's traditional religious practices.
During the worship service, Pastor Santiago made references to political topics, including the end of Crackland, stating that the church collaborated in the recovery of believers. The pastor also defended the 6x1 work schedule, saying it was created by God and would be described in the Bible.
Flavio Bolsonaro and Tarcísio de Freitas spoke around 11 a.m., accompanied by their wives. The event takes place in the context of an electoral campaign, with both candidates seeking support from the religious electorate.
