Brazilian president, Michel Temer runs away from his official residence, blames evil spirits and ghosts

Brazilian president Michel Temer has ran away from his beautiful official residence in the capital Brazilia. He claims bad vibes and ghosts did not let him and his family sleep well at night.

He moved alongside his former beauty queen wife, Marcela Teme and their seven-year-old son, Michelzinho and relocated down the road to the residence of the vice-president, a Brazilian news weekly reported on Saturday.

Temer was quoted by the newspaper as saying,

 'I felt something strange there. I wasn’t able to sleep right from the first night.The energy wasn’t good,' he said.

According to the newspaper, his wife, Marcela felt the same thing, but only Michelzinho (their son), who went running from one end to the other, liked it.

Marcela had reportedly brought in a priest to pray and drive out any evil spirits, but to no avail.

The family has now moved to a smaller luxurious apartment around Jaburu Palace.

Brazil’s president has moved out of his official residence in the capital, Brasilia, because of “bad energy” and the presence of ghosts.

Michel Temer, 76, and his 33-year-old wife Marcela, a former beauty queen, have decamped from the modernist palace and moved into a smaller residence, normally occupied by Brazil’s vice-president.

He said he and his wife did not like the atmosphere of the Alvorada Palace, which was designed by the country’s most famous architect, Oscar Niemeyer.

Brazilian president Michel Temer has moved out of the official presidential residence in Brasilia because of 'bad energy' and even ghosts. 

The futuristic-looking building is located on a peninsula jutting out into a lake and was built in the late 1950s.

The sprawling residence boasts a huge swimming pool, a chapel, cinema and heliport. Only their seven-year-old son, Michelzinho, felt comfortable in the sprawling property, the president said.

"I felt something strange there. I wasn't able to sleep right from the first night. The energy wasn't good," Mr Temer told Veja, a news weekly.  "Marcela felt the same thing. Only Michelzinho, who went running from one end to the other, liked it."

"We even started to wonder: could there be ghosts?" he told the magazine. His wife reportedly called in a priest to drive out any evil spirits in the residence, without success.

Dilma Rousseff was stripped of the presidency last year after being impeached over campaign financing. She was replaced by Michel Temer. 

So the family moved to the smaller Jaburu Palace, which was empty because no one replaced Mr Temer when he was elevated from the vice-presidency to the presidency after former president Dilma Rousseff was impeached last year for breaking budget accounting laws.

Mr Temer is fighting for his political survival as a result of an investigation into alleged illegal campaign financing. He is accused of having benefited from illegal donations when he and Mrs Rousseff ran together in 2014.

The result of the 2014 election could be annulled if he is found guilty by federal judges.

Brazil’s largest engineering firm is accused of making illegal donations to Mr Temer and his forming running mate. His popularity among ordinary Brazilians has dropped amid a grinding recession.
