Lucas Pavanato attacks Erika Hilton in campaign video

Lucas Pavanato, a candidate for federal deputy in São Paulo, released a campaign video targeting federal deputy Erika Hilton. In the footage, Pavanato refers to Hilton as 'Lula's trans deputy' and presents the election as a choice between 'us or them.'

Pavanato leveled several accusations against Hilton, including the misuse of public funds for hiring makeup artists, spending on international travel, and absenteeism from work. He also claimed she voted against increasing penalties for heinous crimes. The reports note that the video does not provide documentation or specific details to substantiate these claims.

Describing himself as the 'greatest enemy of gender ideology' and an ally of Nikolas Ferreira, Pavanato also asserted his own history of combating corruption in health and illegal police blitzes, though he did not provide specific evidence for these actions either. As of the reports, Erika Hilton has not issued a response to the video.
