MPF of Pará charges Damares Alves for allegations without proof; Former minister goes viral with conspiracy theory from American group QAnon

The Federal Public Ministry (MPF) sent a letter this Monday (10) to Secretaria Executiva do Ministério da Mulher, Família e dos Direitos Humanos (MMFDH) solicitando informações sobre supostos crimes contra crianças que a ex-titular do ministério Damares Alves anunciou ter descoberto em visita ao arquipélago do Marajó (PA).

In the note issued, members of the MPF in Pará ask executive secretary Tatiana Barbosa de Alvarenga to present the alleged cases discovered by the ministry, indicating all the details that the department has, so that the appropriate measures can be taken.

The MPF also wants to know what measures the then minister Damares Alves took upon discovering the alleged cases of child trafficking and sexual violence that she reports and whether there was representation (complaint) to the Public Ministry or the Police.

Conspiracy theory or denunciation?

The video you made View All become the most talked about topic on social media this Monday (10) It was done last Saturday (8), during an evangelical service. The former minister claims that children from Marajó are trafficked abroad and are subjected to body mutilation and diets that facilitate sexual abuse.

QAnon

On social media, quickly after Damares Alvez's video went viral, internet users made connections between the former minister's speeches and the conspiracy theory spread by the North American far-right movement QAnon.

In short, supporters allege that there is a “secret cabal” made up of Satan worshipers, pedophiles and cannibals, who run a global child sex trafficking network and who were conspiring against former President Donald Trump and his supporters during President Donald Trump’s term in office. republican. The theory has already found an echo among Bolsonarists, such as former minister Damares Alves herself.
