Doctor and pre-candidate for the Government Natasha Slhessarenko (PSD) classified as “absurd” and “disgusting” statements by the president of the PL in Mato Grosso, Ananias Filho, about the death of federal deputy Amália Barros.

At the PL convention, last week, Ananias commented on the space for federal deputy Rodrigo da Zaeli (PL), who took up the seat despite having received just over 6 thousand votes in 2022.

“Now, God took it and gave a hand there, took one up”, he said about the parliamentarian’s death. Amália died at the age of 39 in May 2024 due to complications from surgery to remove a nodule in the pancreas.

"In other words, a woman losing her life for a man to gain a mandate, for him, is God's thing. In addition to the absurdity of finding the death of a person something good, this is the symbol of how the far right uses God to justify something terrible. As a woman, I find it disgusting. As a Christian, I find it even worse. Don't clap for those who want to see women killed for power", said Natasha.

Ananias then responded to the doctor's publication and said that he was misinterpreted. And who also lost a son to suicide. "Ananias, I understand and know the pain with your son and precisely, therefore, the statement surprises me. I suggest, if it was a speech error, that you apologize publicly, as women felt disrespected", she said.
