Missionário José Olímpio

Missionário José Olímpio is a Brazilian politician and member of the PL party, known for his strong alignment with the ideologies of former President Jair Bolsonaro. He served as a federal deputy for São Paulo from 2011 to 2019 and has been active in local politics, having previously held positions as a city councilor in both Itu and São Paulo. A prominent figure within the Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus, Olímpio is recognized for his vocal opposition to abortion and for promoting conservative Christian values. His political career has included controversial legislative proposals, such as one aimed at prohibiting the use of identification chips in humans, which he argued was a step towards a 'satanic new world order.' In light of Eduardo Bolsonaro's recent announcement to take a leave of absence, Olímpio is positioned to assume his role in the Chamber of Deputies as the second substitute due to his significant electoral support.
