A council member from the city of Florianopolis, capital of the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, grabbed, hugged from behind and forcibly kissed a council member during a city council meeting this Wednesday, Dec. 7. At the meeting, ironically, the project of the adviser Marquinhos da Silva himself to create a body for the protection of women was discussed.

All the actions of Marquinhos, who belongs to the Social Christian Party, PSC, associated with the evangelical denomination, were filmed by the municipal parliament’s security cameras, which will serve as evidence against the adviser. Unable to deny the sexual harassment of his colleague, adviser Carla Ayres of the Labor Party, PT, his political opponent, Marquinhos posted an apology on his Instagram, saying his behavior was inappropriate.

In images that have received a lot of attention on social media, Carla can be seen walking through the plenary meeting of the Florianopolis city council, and as she passes Marquinhos, who is seated, and a colleague grabbed one of her hands in what seemed to be just a greeting.. But when a woman – the adviser tries to move on, Marquinhos suddenly stands up, tightly presses her from behind to his body and kisses her on one of the cheeks.

Carla Aires, startled and outraged, quickly leaves, while Marquinhos da Silva smiles broadly and then starts laughing. Also on social media, the adviser strongly condemned the sexist aggression she suffered and added that her case, unfortunately, was not an isolated episode, this is a vivid example of the attacks that women in general are subjected to when they begin to take places in society and, in her case, in politics. .
