Ana Elisa, youngest deputy elected in MG, deactivates her X account after attacks: 'I receive death threats every two minutes'

Ana Elisa Santos Silva (PT), 21 years old, elected the youngest federal deputy for Minas Gerais, deactivated her account on the social network X, formerly Twitter, after receiving new death and rape threats. The decision was taken on Thursday night (8), after, according to her, the attacks intensified on social media.

Through a video published on Instagram, Ana Elisa stated that threats arrived every two minutes.

"I believe that no one deserves to suffer a death threat for being politically engaged and trying to defend what they think is best for the country. The political debate for me was never about that. My team deactivated my Twitter account because we were receiving death threats every two minutes. Death threats and rape threats," said the young woman.

In an excerpt of the video, Ana Elisa accused opposition politicians, such as Nikolas Ferreira (PL), Gleidson Azevedo (Republicans) and Eduardo Azevedo (Republicans). According to the elected deputy, they were responsible for disseminating false content and montages about her.

g1 also contacted the advisors of Nikolas, Gleidson and Eduardo, but did not receive a response until the last update of this article.

Ana Elisa also expressed concern for her own safety.

"I'm totally vulnerable, for now, I don't have a security task force."

Threats during the campaign

During the electoral campaign, Ana Elisa also received death and rape threats, as well as racist attacks. The young woman from Divinópolis reported the incident to the Civil Police, which is investigating the case.

In the email sent to the young woman on September 5, the recipient identified himself as a “member of a white supremacist group”. The author also mentioned Ana Elisa's personal data to demonstrate that he knows how to locate her and also threatened her family.

The elected deputy released some parts of the email on social media. In the text, the author talks about hatred for black women.

"We don't just tolerate black women who think they can represent 'the people' by wearing those ridiculous suits and talking loudly about social justice. We despise them. And specifically, we despise you."

The author also made threats of death and sexual violence against the young woman.

"I'm writing this because I've decided that you deserve the most humiliating end to your political career before I put an end to your entire miserable life."

Still through social media, Ana Elisa's team reported that police and judicial measures have already been taken, including to identify the author of the email.
