After suspend the vote on the PEC on kindness on Tuesday night (12.Jul.2022), the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), met with deputies allied to the government Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in his cabinet and some opposition leaders.

During the Tuesday session, the Speaker of the House said that two internet servers went down or “were automatically cut in the same period”. He also said that he would make a formal complaint to the PF (Federal Police) to investigate the case.
At the time of voting on one of the highlights of the PEC of kindnesses, deputies who registered presence in the Plenary and would vote remotely through Infoleg (remote voting application) were unable to register their votes.

According to the Chamber of Deputies’ bylaws, the session could only be suspended for 1 hour.
“Art. 70. The President may suspend the session for a single time, for the period maximum of one hour, after which it will be considered closed. (Article with wording given by Resolution No. 21, of 2021)”says the text.
The opposition in the Chamber said, however, that it intends to ask for the cancellation of the session. Must meet this Wednesday morning (July 13) to define what the next moves will be.
