Eduardo Braga at the 8/1 CPMI arouses distrust in the PT – 05/22/2023 – Panel

PT leaders fear the possibility of Senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM) taking over the CPMI rapporteur on 8 January.

The party considers that it is better to carry out the investigation on a “water bath”, without letting it take over the news and the agenda of Congress.

If that is indeed the strategy, the fear is that Braga wants to take advantage of the spotlight and set fire to the works.

In addition, there is concern about how the local scenario can interfere with the performance of the parliamentarian. Amazonas is a state in which former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) had a good vote – although he was in second place, he reached 49.1% of the valid votes.

This would not happen if the rapporteur were Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), a name suggested initially, which is more aligned with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).

Added to these factors is the attitude of Braga himself in the Covid-19 CPI. Even though he is part of the Bolsonaro opposition group, he has taken different positions from the others in different situations.

The work is expected to start as early as next week. The nominations have already been made by the parties in the House and Senate.
