"I lived to see a philosopher indicate more people for the government than the PMDB" – this sentence, told to BBC News Brazil by filmmaker Josias Teofilo, exposes the enthusiasm of admirers of the writer Olavo of Carvalho with the appointment of several his followers to positions in the direction Jair Bolsonaro.
"Who would have thought that a monarchist would become one of the most influential men in the Republic," cited Teófilo, citing the political regime defended by the author – a character from the documentary The Garden of Afflictions that he directed in 2016.
BBC News Brazil enumerated the followers of Olavo who already occupy or will hold positions in the federal government and in Congress as of this year (see the relationship below). They are all students or friends of the philosopher, whom they regard as an intellectual master and a key figure in his political formation.
There are, as he has already mentioned to the faithful, "olavetes" having functions at the palace of Plbadto and in three ministries: education, external relations and economy. In 2017, the philosopher had a student – Carmoca Ludmila Lins Grilo – appointed deputy judge in Botelhos, at the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais
The influence of Olavo in the government badembly surpbades that of the evangelical seat, whose electorate is crucial victory of Bolsonaro but received a single ministry (Women, Family and Human Rights). The author's authority over the government compares only with that of the rural sector (which commands the Ministry of Agriculture and endorses the choice of the Minister of the Environment) and the military branch, responsible for four issues. (Defense, Institutional Security, Government and Infrastructure). In the Chamber of Deputies, Olavo will have five supporters – a discreet presence, but one that could grow if the PSL, the party of Bolsonaro, withdraws the document from the newspaper to bring its 52 MPs elected in the United States to […]
Founded in the United States since 2005, today's 71-year-old Olavo has become popular by criticizing the left and defending conservative positions in books and social media over the last few weeks.

decades, the climax of a career full of upheavals.
Without ever graduating from university, he created an online philosophy course (COF) that he says has already reached 12,000 students, some of whom are coming to power. In the 1970s and 1980s, Olavo was a member of a tariqa (Muslim mystical order) and worked as an astrologer in Sao Paulo.
Today, he defines himself as Catholic and as his main core of followers – though he frequently criticizes Pope Francisco, who has already called "lele da cuca" for his progressive encouragement .
São Paulo Forum
One of Olavo's most prevalent visions on the "new right" in Brazil concerns the power of the São Paulo Forum, a conference created in 1990 by the PT to discuss the Latin American left and which, according to the writer, confers on the party the "strategic command of the communist revolution" on the continent.
The philosopher was also one of the first to spread the opinion expressed by the Bolsonaro government that the left had controlled the Brazilian press and education for decades – a strategy that he believed , follows the ideology of the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937).
The many opposing points of view by many scholars point out that the wave of electoral victories of the right in Latin America show that the São Paulo Forum has never had so much influence and evaluate this part of the press and the academy in Brazil.
In an interview with BBC News Brazil in 2016, Olavo said that, to fight against the expansion of the left in the country, the right should focus on the occupation of spaces not being in the state, but "in the church, in schools, in neighborhood friend societies, in the club".
However, during the 2018 campaign, he supported the candidacy of Jair Bolsonaro and supported students in the running for elective positions. In return, in the first video that he recorded after becoming president, Bolsonaro introduced the bestseller The minimum that you need to know to not be silly the collection of & # 39; Articles by Olavo organized by the journalist Felipe Moura Brazil.
The author was already writing to the family of the president. Two years ago, he received at his home the visit of Eduardo and Flávio Bolsonaro, elected MPs and Senators respectively in 2018.

In an article in The New Criterion, Araújo states that "Olavo" may have been the first person in the world to regard globalism as the result of globalization "to understand their horrific intentions and to start thinking about how to shoot them. "After the inauguration of the Chancellor, Olavo said that the disciple's speech – which mixed references in Greek and Tupi to mentions of Raul Seixas and the group Legião Urbana -" already has a guaranteed place in any serious anthology of the great Brazilian speeches. "

He is considered by Olavo as one of his brightest students. 31 years old, he will play a role equivalent to that which had Professor Marco Aurelio Garcia (1941-2017) in the Lula and Dilma governments.
Born in Sorocaba (SP) and graduated in International Relations from University of Brasilia (UnB), he is director international issues.For him, "it is not possible to understand the birth (or rebirth) of Brazilian conservatism, or the rise of antipétit ism, without taking into account the impact "of Olavo's work.
He usually compares the master to a hápax legómenon (expression of Greek origin denoting words or ideographs only appearing once in the literature. a certain language), "a character so singular in the cultural context of who is inserted and who ends up becoming indecipherable to their peers."

Prior to his appointment, Vélez lived in Londrina (PR) and taught at Positivo College. In his inaugural address, he said that his administration would be inspired by "two great educators", Olavo de Carvalho and Antonio Paim. "From them emerge the liberal and conservative inspiration of our educational proposals."
