Brazil’s Lower House Ousts Eduardo Bolsonaro for Absences as Missionário José Olímpio Takes Seat

Attention now turns to his history of religion‑framed proposals, notably a 2014 bid to ban implanted ID chips.

Overview

  • The Chamber’s Board formalized the cassation on Dec. 18, publishing the decision in the Diário da Câmara with President Hugo Motta’s signature.
  • Eduardo Bolsonaro missed 63 of 78 deliberative sessions in 2025, far above the one‑third limit, after relocating to the United States, and the Board said it was impossible to exercise the mandate from abroad.
  • José Olímpio, 69, the PL’s most‑voted substitute from São Paulo in 2022, has now assumed the vacancy and previously served as a federal deputy from 2011 to 2019.
  • In 2014, Olímpio authored a bill to prohibit implanting identification chips in humans, justifying it as a guard against a supposed “satanic new world order,” and likening microchips to the biblical “sign of the beast.”
  • An evangelical linked to the Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus and a declared Jair Bolsonaro supporter, he was once cited in a Lava Jato‑related inquiry that the Supreme Court archived in 2017 for lack of evidence.
