Overview
- Dolabella formalized his affiliation on March 3 at MDB-RJ headquarters and declared a pre-candidacy for Congress with state party president Washington Reis in attendance.
- He framed his platform around “defense of the family” and rejecting what he calls false domestic-violence allegations, later posting a video pledging to “fight for women” and restore “balance” in families.
- Reis praised him on social media as a “family man,” and Terra reports the welcoming post was later removed.
- Scrutiny of his past intensified after he admitted in 2023 to assaulting Luana Piovani in 2008, while he denies a 2024 accusation by Marcela Tomaszewski reported by the press.
- Terra reports earlier legal cases that include a conviction linked to the 2008 episode, a protective measure obtained by Viviane Sarahyba, and a 2025 complaint by Tomaszewski, while O Antagonista says new requests for comment went unanswered.
