Paes was a trenchant critic of the Lula administration, particularly during the Mensalão scandal in 2005 over alleged payments to congresspeople for votes.[2] When it came to his administration as Rio de Janeiro's mayor, scandals continued to occur.[3]
As mayor during the bid, preparation and execution of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, Paes faced many challenges, balancing the demands and opportunities of the Olympics with the needs of the Cariocas (the people of Rio de Janeiro).[4]
In 2021, even though being elected mayor by the party Democrats (DEM), Paes was successfully affiliated to the Democratic Social Party (PSD), starting a movement for other politicians connected to the mayor to affiliate themselves to the party.[7]
Personal life
Paes, a Catholic, is married to Cristine; they have two children.[8]
