Erika Hilton faces scrutiny over assets and parliamentary performance
Brazilian federal deputy Erika Hilton is facing public scrutiny regarding her financial declarations and parliamentary performance. According to filings with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Hilton declared total assets of R$ 15,975.73, held in a Caixa checking account and three Nubank fixed-income investments. This declaration has drawn attention on social media due to the contrast between her reported wealth and her public appearance involving luxury goods.
Simultaneously, David Deccache, an economist and former advisor to the PSOL caucus, has publicly criticized Hilton’s effectiveness as a legislator. Deccache, who worked with the caucus from 2017 to 2025, claimed that during her tenure as party leader in 2024, Hilton demonstrated a "total disregard" for her responsibilities. He specifically alleged that she failed to engage with technical aspects of critical legislation, such as the second phase of the tax reform and discussions regarding the salary bonus (abono salarial). While acknowledging her influence as a social media figure and activist, Deccache characterized her parliamentary work as inadequate.
