Bolsonaro’s former minister criticizes Rodrigo Pacheco’s “omission”, who will seek re-election with the support of Lula and the PT
the elected senator Rogerio Marinho (PL-RN) announced this Wednesday (7.Dec.2022) that it will run for the Presidency of the Senate in February 2023 against the current occupant of the position and candidate for re-election, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG).
Former Minister of Regional Development in the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), Marinho will have the support of all allies of the current Chief Executive.
Pacheco will have the help of the president-elect, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT), and the former president of the Senate Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), who wants to return to the post in 2025.
The launch of Rogério Marinho’s candidacy was anticipated on December 1, 2022 by Driveexclusive newsletter for subscribers produced by the Power360🇧🇷
In an interview with journalists in the Senate, Marinho criticized what he called “omission” by Pacheco in relation to the judicial decisions of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the STF (Federal Supreme Court) and the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), which suspended profiles of Bolsonarist deputies on social networks.
Watch the interview (23min43s):
Allies of the current President of the Republic demand from Pacheco a more active dialogue with Moraes and the Supreme Court in defense of freedom of expression and the inviolability of the mandate of congressmen.
🇧🇷The worst sin that can exist for human beings is omission. The president of the National Congress cannot omit himself at a time when the freedom and inviolability of the mandate are at stake, because this means a direct aggression against the Brazilian parliament”, he declared.
Bolsonaro’s former minister also said that the Senate has not fulfilled its role of voting and discussing projects from different benches and the Executive. He criticized the number of meetings of the CCJ (Commission on Constitution and Justice), chaired by Alcolumbre, in 2022.
Marinho was accompanied by the leader of the PL in the Senate and son of the current President of the Republic, Flávio Bolsonaro (RJ), by the leader of the Government in the House, Carlos Portinho (PL-RJ), by the elected senator Jorge Seif (PL-SC) and by the coordinator of the evangelical bench, deputy Sóstenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ).
