Relatives, friends and political associates of Bruno Covas (PSDB), the mayor of São Paulo, attended a mass on Saturday, 22, on the seventh day of the politician’s death. Covas died last Sunday at age 16, aged 41, after more than a year of facing digestive cancer. During the ceremony, Ricardo Nunez (MDB), the new mayor of the capital, briefly emphasized his colleague’s resilience throughout the treatment and stated that his posture is “an example for all of us.”
“Bruno has always had a vision of caring for the people most in need. Pay special attention to the people who need government the most. Of course, take a very important political position, defend democracy, conduct a dialogue with everyone and govern for everyone, ”the new mayor recalled.
He then turned to Covas’ 15-year-old son, Thomas. The young man was a great friend of his father and was with him during his last hospitalization. “Thomas, your father is an example for all of us. As you are very proud of him, so are we all. And you, as a young man, strong, much stronger than us, is also our great hope for the future. As an example of your father, I am confident that he will continue this defense of democracy and clean politics, without the hatred that cares for the most vulnerable, ”Nunes added.
The Mass was led by the House of Cardinal Odilo Scherer and took place at the Cathedral of São Paulo in the center of São Paulo. The event was attended only by guests who followed the rules of distancing and wearing masks throughout the ceremony due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. There was also a broadcast through the party’s social networks.
In addition to Ricardo Nunes, Sao Paulo Governor João Doria (PSDB) and his wife Bia Doria attended Mass; Lieutenant Governor Rodrigo Garcia (PSDB); and ex-Governor Geraldo Alcmin (PSDB).
On leaving, the governor thanked Covas and said that the legacy left by the former mayor would be respected by the current administration. “(Covas) He left a great legacy: a legacy of serenity, poise, honesty, passion for what he learned from his grandfather (former Governor Mario Covas). And we will respect this legacy, be it the leadership of Ricardo as his successor or the principles he leaves behind for all of us. ”
In addition to Nunes, Mario Covas Neto (Pode), Bruno’s uncle, also paid tribute during the ceremony. In his speech, he recalled the successful political trajectory of the former mayor and his family. “This legacy, the legacy left by my father, an important political legacy that gives us only pride and the responsibility not to spoil, Bruno did it brilliantly. He increased our responsibility so as not to tarnish the names of these two, ”he said.
