247 - Amid the repercussions of the truckers' strike, Michel Temer participated in a religious event that brought together thousands of evangelical pastors from the Assembly of God church on Thursday morning (31), in Brasília. Accompanied by the MDB's pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, Henrique Meirelles, Temer gave a kind of sermon on the need for "dialogue, harmony" and on the "achievements of his government", in addition to asking the pastors to take his message to churches throughout Brazil. "May this serve as an example for our country, the power of dialogue. After dialoguing, I called the Armed Forces. I was enlightened by God, who said: 'Go to the Assembly of God temple to celebrate the pacification of the country'", he stated.
"We had many projects in our government. High school reform. We lowered inflation and interest rates. At this moment, as we enter an electoral contest, I ask that you evaluate our projects, which are in favor of the country. May you convey these words of peace and harmony to everyone, as I know you have temples in the most remote places," said Temer.
Regarding the truckers' strike, which paralyzed the country and plunged it into chaos in recent days, Temer emphasized that he thought, "I'm going to the Assembly of God to celebrate the pacification of the country." With God's grace, we are ending the truckers' strike. Through dialogue, which is what I preach. There was no violence on the part of the Brazilian state during these days of the strike. May this serve as an example for our country: dialogue."
Aiming at the evangelical vote, Temer said that two books are always on his desk at the Planalto Palace: the Constitution and the Bible. "One is the Constitution, to base government decisions on it. On the other hand, I have the Bible, from which I draw my spiritual strength. I open the Constitution for organizational matters. But from time to time I have difficulties, so I open the Bible, asking God for guidance for that day. And look, the days in the Presidency haven't been easy," he said.
