Carla Zambelli Salgado de Oliveira, born on July 3, 1980, is a politician from Brazil. She is known for her work as an activist and for being a member of the Brazilian Congress.
She started a group called "On the Streets." Zambelli became well-known for her activism supporting the impeachment of former President Dilma Rousseff. Impeachment is a process to remove a president from office. In the 2018 elections, she was elected as a federal deputy for São Paulo. A federal deputy is like a representative who helps make laws in the country's parliament.
Her political ideas are often described as being on the right side of politics. This means she generally supports less government involvement in the economy and traditional social values.
About Carla Zambelli
Carla Zambelli was born on July 3, 1980, in Ribeirão Preto, a city in São Paulo, Brazil.
In 2017, she said she supported monarchy, which is a system where a country is ruled by a king or queen. She believes in this after talking with members of the imperial family. She is also against policies that set aside a certain number of places for specific groups, except for people with disabilities.
When she was elected as a federal deputy in 2018, she stated her main goal would be to fight against corruption in Brazil. She explained that she would do this by focusing on three main ideas: "less state, more justice and real education." This means she believes the government should have less control, there should be more fairness, and education should be improved.
Health and Public Statements
In August 2020, Zambelli's team announced she had contracted COVID-19. She began a treatment using hydroxychloroquine. She had often spoken positively about this medicine.
A few days later, Zambelli was hospitalized for medical tests. She later posted on social media that she was "100% cured" because of the early treatment she received. However, the hospital that treated her later stated that she had not had COVID-19. They said she was diagnosed with endometriosis, a health condition, and began treatment for that. After this, Zambelli said her COVID-19 test might have been a mistake.
In March 2022, Zambelli launched a website. This website aimed to provide information for people who chose not to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. She referred to a part of Brazil's law that says people cannot be forced into medical treatment if it puts their life at risk.
