Acting President Michel Temer said during a meeting with members of the Brazilian Association of Evangelical Media (ABME) this Wednesday (6) that religious websites can receive advertising funds from the federal government.
"President Temer opened a door for the inclusion of evangelical media outlets in federal government advertising campaigns," said Orli Rodrigues, president of the association.
Temer met with 40 people from the association and accepted an invitation to speak at an ABME symposium, stating that he will approve the bill proposed by Senator Eduardo Lopes (PRB-RJ), which aims to establish Evangelical Media Day. The proposal must first be approved by Congress.
Eduardo Lopes was yet another senator who was received by Temer just over a month ago for the final vote on the impeachment process of President Dilma Rousseff.
Last month, the interim president cut R$11 million in advertising funds for alternative press websites, arguing that the publications expressed opinions and went against the public interest.
