The mayor, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), wants to install the Parliamentary Ethics and Decorum Council in the coming weeks and put a “tough” deputy to preside over the collegiate to avoid what he considers “excesses” in the House. Shortly after the inauguration of the elected deputies, the Chamber was the scene of discussions and attacks in the plenary and in the committees by supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The scenario prompted Lira to install the Ethics Council and to punish the parliamentarians. União Brasil, which has 59 deputies, should be responsible for the collegiate. The main candidate is Leur Lomanto Júnior (BA), an ally of Lira and one of the parliamentarians closest to the leader of União Brasil in the Chamber, Elmar Nascimento (BA).
“The Ethics Council will have to exercise its role. With great balance and serenity, it is necessary to analyze the processes that are sent to it and give the representatives the right to defend themselves”, said Lomanto Jr. at the Stadium. “Let’s hope that the MPs themselves have a little more balance in their speeches and have a more mature debate”.
On International Women’s Day, MP Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) spoke in the plenary in the House and mocked trans women. The parliamentarian was accused of transphobia and was the subject of complaints in the Ethics Council and in the Federal Supreme Court (STF). Lira scolded Nikolas.
Line
Seven complaints have been filed with the Chamber of Ethics Committee since the beginning of the year. The collegiate, however, was not installed. The requests are in the Chamber Council and depend on a legal analysis to proceed. Nikolas is the subject of two complaints, one filed by deputy Fábio Teruel (MDB-SP) and another by the PSOL, PCdoB, PT, PDT and PSB parties due to the March 8 speech. Other MPs, who supported the coup plotters of 8 January, have also been the object of complaints.
Another case that increases the pressure on Lira is that of the deputy Juliana Zanatta (PL-SC), who published on social networks a photo in which she appears with a machine gun and wearing a T-shirt with a drawing of a hand with four fingers, in allusion to President Calamaro.
The PT bench prepares a representation against Juliana in the Ethics Council. The deputy also decided to activate the collegiate against the PT MPs. The chairman of the PT, MP Gleisi Hoffmann (PR), classified the publication as “Nazi behaviour”, a fact referred to as a crime by Juliana.
Supreme
The episode led to a plenary discussion in the House. On Tuesday, Gleisi’s fiancé Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) MP argued with Juliana in the middle of the session after the MP mentioned the PT chairman’s name to the House.
“This is a crime you have committed, you will answer before the Federal Supreme Court, for inciting violence against the President of the Republic,” said the PT. “Even his colleagues will be judged by the Federal Court”, retorted the PL MP.
At the first meeting of the Culture Commission of the Chamber, on the 15th, the deputy Marco Feliciano (PL-SP) mocked the culture minister, Margareth Menezes. “I want to know who she is. I know she is a woman. I don’t know if she can be called a woman or not,” she said. The fear of Lira’s allies is that this type of episode, without punishment, will multiply in the Chamber.
