SP 247 - The administration of João Doria (PSDB) hired a member of the MBL (Free Brazil Movement) who helped erase graffiti made by protesters on the mayor's house in Jardins (west side of São Paulo).
The gesture demonstrates the MBL's strengthening influence within the administration, at a time when Doria is seeking to establish himself as a presidential candidate. Composed of young liberals, the group is a driving force behind the mayor's image on social media.
The wall of the politician's residence was vandalized on July 15th by protesters demonstrating against the privatization of public assets, one of the current administration's key policies. They wrote the phrase "SP is not for sale" on the house.
On the same day, members of the MBL went to Jardins to repaint the mayor's wall. Among them was Cauê Del Valle, 23, national coordinator of the MBL and, at the time, parliamentary advisor to councilman Fernando Holiday (DEM).
Doria even recorded a video praising the "spontaneous" attitude of the activists, among whom was also the young Paloma Oliva, 22, an employee of the Pinheiros regional prefecture.
One of the organizers of the protests for the impeachment of former president Dilma Rousseff (PT), the MBL acts as Doria's shock troops on social media. Frequently, websites linked to the movement attempt to discredit journalists who publish articles critical of the politician, usually accusing them of being far-left activists.
