President of the Upper House is irritated by the use of dramatization to discuss the topic; senator cites artistic freedom
The senator Eduardo Girão (Novo-CE) countered this Monday (June 17, 2024) the disapproval of the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), to the “anti-abortion” performance by actress Nyedja Gennari at Casa Alta. The woman acted out what would be the vision of a fetus during an abortion during a session that discussed the practice of fetal asystole.
“The artist can express herself freely. We are not in a dictatorship yet. We talked about it, I gave her the script”he told journalists.
O Power360 found that Pacheco disapproved of the use of dramatization to discuss the topic. The senator assesses that the discussion on abortion must consider technical and scientific criteria, current legislation itself and women senators.
Girão also stated that senators have the freedom to promote artistic presentations during sessions and that he does not see “reasons for controversy”.
“Here is a House of freedom, we see that President Pacheco himself presides over sessions and brings music and artists”, he stated.
