Danilo Gentili plays with presidential sash: MBL will collect signatures at comedian’s shows to become party (PHOTO: REDES SOCIAIS/REPRODUO) Federal MP Kim Kataguiri (UnioSP), one of the founders of MBL, announced that he would do the movement become a political party and launch moderator Danilo Gentili as a candidate for the future acronym for the presidency of the republic in 2026.
“We defended and are building Danilo Gentili’s candidacy for 2026 and he will run,” said the MP.
While participating in the Flow podcast, Kataguiri stated that he would initiate the process to convert the Movimento Brasil Livre into a party acronym. Signatures should be collected for this, which are also mandatory for Gentili concerts.
When confronted with the moderator Igor 3K that in the moderator’s hypothesis, who is running for the Palácio do Planalto and will win the elections in 2026, the country would become Ukraine, the representative of the European country Volodimir Zelenski, comedian, pointed out Kim pointed out that former US President Ronald Reagan also left the small screen to become head of the White House in 1981.
The MBL (Movimento Brasil Livre), led by Kim Kataguiri, emerged during demonstrations calling for the impeachment of former President Dilma Rousseff.
Subsequently, several names associated with the MBL ran for public office and were elected. In 2018, the movement endorsed Jair Bolsonaro’s (PL) candidacy against Fernando Haddad (PT) in the second round, preaching the farright politician’s “useful voice”.
At the beginning of the previous government, Kataguiri and other members of the movement left Bolsonaro.
Councilor Fernando Holiday, one of the most important names in the MBL, left the movement on the grounds that “the fight against abortion and the LGBT cause are not MBL flags”.
As allegedly homosexual, Holiday continues to position itself in the networks in line with Jair Bolsonaro. In 2022 he tried to elect himself as MP, but failed. He then left Novo and announced that he would no longer run for public office.
Another controversial episode involving the MBL and its members was that involving former Arthur do Val State Assemblyman Mame Falei becoming the precandidate for the So Paulo government in 2022.
However, after an audio was leaked on the networks in which Arthur said that Ukrainian women “are light because they are poor”, he was stripped of his mandate in Alesp (So Paulo Legislative Assembly).
At the time, MBL dismissed the speeches of one of its most famous members, but blamed the criticism and negative impact on the networks on “profiteers.”
