Joice Cristina Hasselmann (née Bejuska; 29 January 1978) is a Brazilian politician, journalist, writer, activist, and political commentator.[1][2]

Hasselmann worked on CBN, BandNews FM, VEJA as a host of the magazine's video channel, RecordTV on the affiliate broadcaster RIC TV and SBT on the affiliate Rede Massa TV. She worked for a short period on the Jovem Pan in São Paulo, where she presented Os Pingos nos Is program, an absolute audience leader at 6 p.m. (UTC−3 (BRT)).[3] On her YouTube channel, Hasselmann presents and comments the national news daily, and lectures and congresses around the country.[4]

She is a critic of several politicians, such as the former governor Beto Richa,[5] the former President Dilma Rousseff, the former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as well as Workers' Party.[6][7] In 2015 and 2016, she participated in several protests against the Dilma government and later participated as a guest of the prosecution session for the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. She also participated in protests in defense of Operation Lava Jato and in support of the Brazilian Federal Police. In that time, she wrote a book about the Brazilian judge Sergio Moro, responsible for the Lava Jato trial in Curitiba.[8][9]

In 2017, the ePoliticSchool Institute (ePS) pointed to Hasselmann as the most influential and notorious personalities of social networks within the political theme. She won the "Troféu Influenciadores Digitais" prize from Negócios da Comunicação magazine in 2017 and 2018, by popular vote and technical vote. In April 2018, she officially joined the Social Liberal Party and announced her preliminary candidacy to the Brazilian Senate representing the State of São Paulo. But, months later, she opted to run for the House of Representatives, having been elected to the post with a substantial vote, 1,078,666 votes, becoming the most voted for woman ever in this position.[10][11][12][13][14]
