Commenting on his election to the Senate Presidency, David Alcolumbre (Brazil-AP Union) celebrated the 73 votes won out of a total of 81. “One of the most expressive victories the Senate has seen in recent years and why not say in the last decades ”.
“All political parties in the Senate are today at the Board of Directors. This is not exercising democracy, debate, understanding? ”He said. “The best way for Brazil and for the defense of the interests of the Brazilian people is pacification, conciliation, the national union in favor of the causes that truly need to be seen by parliament.”
In conversation with journalists, Alcolumbre stated that politics is the only way to change people’s lives. “If there is one thing that I will continue to defend, responsibly, transparently and balanced, it is the condition of a parliamentarian to be able to make resources possible to bring to his municipalities.”
“If you are not a deputy defended by a mayor or senator defended by a governor about the request for a road, a bridge, a school, a highway or a day care center, if not that person, from the amendments parliamentarians, [verba] For these states and municipalities, we would have an even greater abyss of inequality. ”
Independence
At the press conference, the new Senate president said he will work “side by side, supporting the government’s agenda, supporting Brazil’s agenda and asking for independence and authority of senators who think different, which are from different parties.” “This is my spirit and my disposition.”
“This is my desire and I will fight tirelessly every day to seek the pacification of the legislature. It is demonstrated in the vote: the pacification of the legislature with the other powers, the harmony and independence assured in our constitution. ”
“I want to be a bridge. Unfortunately, and I realize that, people are destroying the bridges. We are running out of a dialogue bridge to sit on a table with civility and hear the opposite opinion without having to assault, without having to offend, without having to attack, ”he concluded.
