deputy Glauber Braga (Psol-RJ) He obtained a 60-day period to defend himself in the process of canceling his mandate, after a signed agreement with the Speaker of Parliament, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB). With this decision, Braga ended Hunger That lasted eight days.
“At this moment, I am related to the hunger strike that I announced nine days ago. This comment – after the dialogue of the movements and speaking a lot in a long meeting – comes after the commitment of the mayor,” I mentioned Glauber at a press conference.
Parliament claimed that he is a victim of political persecution and states that the division process will be a revenge due to the guidelines he is defending. The case started after the assault on a MBL member who asked the deputy questions during a video recording at home.
The following steps for the process
The next step in the Constitution and Justice Committee in the House of Representatives (CCJ) will be. Braga until April 22nd To submit an appeal, he is required to re -evaluate the opinion of Paulo Majelis’s deputy, submitted by the division process.
Psol seat plans to meet CCJ president, Paulo Azzi, next Tuesday (22). In addition, a group of jurists and religious people must dialogue with AZI and Hugo Motta, seeking a favorable result of the deputy.
If the operation is advancing at the Parliament’s plenary session, then 257 votes will be required to win. With the extended deadline, Braga and his allies will have more time to express a politician and try to avoid loss of authorization.
Challenges to maintain the mandate
Political analysts establish that Braga will have difficulty maintaining his mandate if he does not get a successful joint, including sectors to one of the political spectrum.
Psol, the deputy party, has a limited dialogue with these wings, which can hold the search for support. The party’s strategy will be to say that the penalty for cracking is not commensurate with the committed law, and seeks to educate other parliamentarians
However, the federal government showed some support for Braga, with visits by the ministers during the hunger strike. However, it is still unclear to what extent will the executive authority overlap with this position.
Glauber Braga states that the cancellation of his mandate is not driven by his actions against the MBL protester, but with his statements against the secret budget. According to the deputy, the procedure against him is the result of clarifying the former mayor, Arthur Lira (PP-Aal).
