Attack on Jack Rocha campaign in Espírito Santo
Overview
During a campaign activity in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Espírito Santo, an explosive device was used in an attack targeting Federal Deputy Jack Rocha’s campaign. The device struck two workers, resulting in minor abrasions.
Following the incident, the campaign reported the matter to authorities and raised concerns regarding a military police officer who allegedly posted a video mocking the event on social media. The campaign also noted a separate instance of violence in Vila Velha involving the destruction of campaign materials.
Marcelo Santos, President of the Legislative Assembly of Espírito Santo, condemned the attack, describing it as an “affront to the Democratic Rule of Law” and calling for political disagreements to be resolved through dialogue rather than aggression.
