The President of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB) said on Tuesday (23) that It was strictly technical to Decision to deny the appointment of Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) for the position of leader of the Minority of the Chamber.
Eduardo Bolsonaro’s nomination was made by the PL leader, Deputy Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ), with the argument that an act of the Board of Directors, issued in the management of Eduardo Cunha (MDB-RJ), released party leaders to register in plenary. Eduardo asked for a position of office in March and traveled to the United States, where he settled residence.
“The decision was strictly technical, we heard the opinion of the General Secretariat of the Board of Directors that decided to have no possibility of the exercise of parliamentary mandate being absent from the national territory, there is no precedent in the house,” Motta said during an interview before the leaders’ meeting this afternoon.
THE License ended on July 21but the parliamentarian did not return to Brazil and already accumulates not justified absences in plenary sessions. The Constitution provides for the cancellation of deputies who lack one third of the ordinary sessions, except license or authorized mission.
According to the opinion of the Board of Directors, There is only a possibility of remote registration for parliamentarians on an official mission authorized by the House, which is not the case with Eduardo Bolsonaro. The deputy also did not even communicate the presidency of the house. According to the table, the situation configures, “by itself, a violation of the functional duty of the parliamentarian.”
“The deputy is not in the national territory, as we all know, and the Chamber was not communicated from its absence of the national territory,” emphasized Motta.
Eduardo Bolsonaro’s nomination for minority leadership was pointed out as a maneuver to prevent the parliamentarian from suffering punishment, such as the loss of his mandate.
