Deputy discusses investigation into fake news with the head of the Ministry of Justice and says that the government is “highly ideological”
The federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) criticized this Wednesday (May 15, 2024) during a meeting with the Minister of Justice and Public Security, Ricardo Lewandowski, the investigation of members of the Legislature and internet users for posts on social networks.
According to the son of the former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), Lewandowski would have said that the initiative did not come from him. Eduardo stated that the current head of the organization would have said that it was a request from the minister of Secom (Secretariat of Social Communication), Paulo Pimenta.
“I mentioned that never in the Bolsonaro government was a parliamentarian investigated at the request of a minister or the president and that this situation does not fit well with the democratic government-Congress relationship”, he said Eduardo on his profile on X (formerly Twitter).
The congressman fondled Lewandowski while criticizing other ministers from the current administration.
“The Lula government has highly ideological ministers like Paulo Pimenta, who intend to annihilate the opposition by censoring all of Lula’s critics under the lame excuse of fake news“, he declared.
The congressmen Caroline de Toni (PL-SC) and Paulo Bilynskyj (PL-SP) were also present at the meeting, held at the organization’s headquarters, in Brasília. They talked about the inquiry of fake news.
CHAMBER
The CCJ (Constitution, Justice and Citizenship Committee) of the Chamber of Deputies approved on Tuesday (May 14) an invitation for Pimenta to provide explanations about alleged “censorship” opposition to the government.
The committee’s deputies want the minister to provide information about the request to open an investigation made last week, with the aim of having the PF (Federal Police) investigate opponents for allegedly spreading fake news on federal aid to Rio Grande do Sul.
