Political Views
Reinaldo Azevedo has positioned himself on the right of the political spectrum of Brazilian politics, overtly supporting some social conservatism positions, and being particularly skeptical of the Workers' Party. As an early critic of the Workers' Party, he was vindicated by the failure of its policies and the multiple corruption scandals involving their politicians. He has also criticized Dilma Rousseff, the former Brazilian president who was impeached.
