Marcel van Hattem
@marcelvanhattem · Federal deputy, Rio Grande do Sul (Novo). Senate candidate.
What people think this is about
The Novo guy who actually reads the bill and then tweets the vote.
What the machinery is actually doing
A liberal-right deputy (Novo) from RS, ranked by some scorekeepers as a top deputy, now a Senate candidate. Opposition 10 because he is the non-clan, non-PL proof that the opposition is not one family company.
Observations
- Novo is not PL. That is the whole point of putting him next to the Bolsonaros on a list.
- Senate RS is a different electorate than a Novo federal list. Liberal economics plus anti-PT can travel. Personality cult will not.
- Political scientist / journalist bio is LT as CV. 'Best deputy 2025' is a ranking product, not a court finding.
Snapshot
Van Hattem is the Novo floor fighter from the South. 2026: Senate RS.
Practical takeaway
- Watch Novo's remaining vote and RS Senate math. Do not fold him into the clan.
