The leadership panel has agreed to discuss this matter, in a broad way, in the second semester, with a collaborative commission, after the break, without haste or rush,” he said.
The establishment of the Representation Committee, announced by Lira, and the choice of the project’s rapporteur, as well as the representatives of each party in the debates, will only take place starting from August.
Lira also defended herself against accusations of having started the project alone. Together with the leaders of the various parties, you stated that parliamentarians always believe that the issue should be discussed.
“We are committed to never voting on an important issue without a broad debate. It has always been like this in this House. It is essential to exhaust all discussions and create legal, moral and scientific certainty. The decision on the agenda of the Chamber will not it is monocratic. We are a Chamber of 513 parliamentarians, every decision is collegial”, he added.
Last week the House urgently passed a bill that toughens anti-abortion legislation. The text equates abortion to murder if carried out after the 22nd week of pregnancy, prohibiting the procedure even in the case of rape, if carried out after this period.
The text was quickly analyzed by the Chamber, without nominal voter registration and without space for parliamentarians to intervene. The measure, announced by the President of the Chamber, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), was approved in a few moments. Only PSOL and PCdoB expressed their opposition to urgency before approval. The PT also expressed its contrary position in the Chamber, but only after the approval of the measure.
