Feliciano says he may be a presidential candidate.

PE247 - Pastor and president of the Human Rights and Minorities Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, federal deputy Marcos Feliciano (PSC-SP), declared that he may run for President of the Republic in 2014. Considering himself "a symbol of resistance, a symbol of Christian faith and the symbol of conservatives who apparently no longer exist in Brazil," Feliciano says he is capable of bringing together evangelicals, Catholics, and Spiritists around controversial issues such as abortion and gay marriage. The parliamentarian, who campaigned for the election of President Dilma Rousseff (PT) in 2010, says he feels betrayed by the PT member and that, because of this, his goal is to contribute in any way possible to prevent her re-election in 2014.

In this vein, Feliciano says he has “great appreciation” for the governor of Pernambuco and presidential candidate for the PSB, Eduardo Campos, but notes that he has “a small problem” with former senator Marina Silva, who recently joined the PSB and is expected to be the vice-presidential candidate on a presidential ticket headed by the socialists. The problem, according to him, lies in the fact that Marina considers issues linked to Christian ideology, such as abortion, as matters of public health. The parliamentarian also stated that he knows “a little about the history” of the senator from Minas Gerais and presidential candidate, Aécio Neves (PSDB), which leaves open the possibilities regarding who he might support in the next major election. In a long interview with the newspaper Folha de Pernambuco, Feliciano also stated that his support will be decisive in next year's presidential elections: “I'll send any candidate to the second round,” he declared.
