Federal Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) reported that he sent a letter to the President of the House of Representatives, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), in which he requests authorization and conditions to exercise his distance mandate directly from the United States, where he currently lives. 
Eduardo asked for a 122 -day license of the parliamentary mandate in March and went to live in the United States on the grounds of political persecution. The license has already ended and the parliamentarian continues to accumulate absences, at risk of loss of mandate. He is also the target of a Cassation Requestwhich has already been sent by the mayor to the House Ethics Commission.
In the letter, Eduardo reaffirms that he is the victim of persecution and highlighted his performance as a member of the Foreign Relations Commission, highlighting his connections with other countries and the importance of what he calls “parliamentary diplomacy,” according to him, one of the main outbreaks of his term.
On the last day 20, the Federal Police concluded by the INDICIATION OF THE MP and FATHERformer President Jair Bolsonaro, for coercion crimes in the course of the process and attempted abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law. In the case of Eduardo, the indictment was due to the performance with the government of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to promote retaliation measures against the Brazilian government and ministers of the Supreme.
The United States government has announced in recent months a series of shares against Brazil and Brazilian authorities, such as the 50% tariff against imports of products from the country and financial sanctions against Minister Alexandre de Moraes, based on Magnitsky law.
Parallel with the pandemic
To justify the possibility of working remotely from another country, the parliamentarian cites that the House authorized the remote participation of deputies during the COVID-19 outbreak and asks him to be applied to his case. He argues that the current circumstances lived by him would be even more serious than the pandemic, which victimized about 700,000 Brazilians.
“The risk of a Brazilian parliamentarian is the target of political persecution today is incomparably greater than the risk of badly getting sick during the pandemic. It cannot be admitted that what was assured in times of health crisis no longer be even more profound,” he believes.
Eduardo repeats criticism of the Federal Supreme Court Minister (STF) Alexandre de Moraes who, according to the parliamentarian, established a scenario in which “federal deputies exercise their mandates under terror and blackmail.”
“I do not recognize any lack, I do not renounce my mandate, I do not give up my constitutional prerogatives and I follow in the fulfillment of the functions conferred on me by the popular vote,” he said in the text.
