"Tarcísio is a villain," says columnist for Piauí magazine.
Fernando de Barros e Silva assessed that the governor will be the representative of the far-right for 2026 and criticized his stance regarding the massacre of civilians in Baixada Santista.
247 - Journalist Fernando de Barros e Silva, a columnist for Revista Piauí, lashed out against the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), amidst criticism regarding... Operation by the Military Police that massacred civilians in the Baixada Santista region, resulting in at least 39 deaths so far.In a scathing tweet, Barros e Silva characterized Tarcísio as a "fascist" and assessed that he will be the representative of the far-right for 2026, emphasizing his apparent indifference to the deaths caused by police action.
"Tarcísio, the 'technical expert' of Bolsonarism, is positioning himself as the far-right candidate for 2026. His 'I don't care' attitude regarding the police killings in Baixada Fluminense is exactly what Bolsonaro voters want to hear. The governor with the piss-stained face is a thug who knows how to eat with a knife. He and Michelle form a ticket that seems quite strong," wrote Barros e Silva.
The columnist's criticism arises amidst... Tarcísio de Freitas' reaction to criticism of the police operation in Baixada Santista.In recent statements, the governor showed irritation when confronted about allegations of police abuse and the intention of human rights organizations to file a formal complaint against the São Paulo state government with the United Nations (UN).
"Honestly, we are very calm about what is being done. And so, people can go to the UN, the Justice League, wherever, I don't care at all," said Tarcísio, showing disdain for the criticism and accusations about civilian deaths.
