President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said this Tuesday 23rd, in a conversation with journalists, that he “thinks it is normal” for former deputy and ex-president of the Chamber Eduardo Cunha to return to politics. The PT member, however, made the reservation that “it is abnormal if he has political influence on the decisions of the National Congress” and that he believes this will not happen.
Eduardo Cunha returned to traveling around Brasília. He has been attending his daughter's office, congresswoman Dani Cunha (União Brasil-RJ), and guarantees that he will run again in 2026. The politician was responsible for opening the impeachment process of former president Dilma Rousseff and articulated its approval in a at a time when he still enjoyed full powers in the Chamber.
For Lula, the former deputy “has to know that the power he had was thrown in the trash”. The president stated that Cunha had a 'poor' and 'shameful' vote in the 2022 elections, but that it is normal for him to visit his daughter's office in the Chamber. Still according to Lula, “once a deputy, always a deputy”.
As shown by Estadão Column, Cunha has been moving to reestablish prestige among deputies. He was one of the most prestigious at the birthday party of federal deputy Marcos Pereira (Republicanos-SP) two weeks ago. A kiss continued into the night. Between longing hugs, the former deputy was called “president” even by the communist Renildo Calheiros (PCdoB-PE).
Cunha was impeached eight years ago by an overwhelming majority, 450 votes to 10, on charges of using his position to obstruct investigations by the Ethics Council in the wake of Operation Lava Jato investigations.
