Senator from MG Carlos Viana exchanges the PL for Podemos – 02/01/2023 – Power
[ad_1]
Hours before the Senate elections, the PL suffered a casualty and widened the gap to the PSD. Minas Gerais senator Carlos Viana exchanged the PL for Podemos this Wednesday (1st), taking even Bolsonarists by surprise.
“More space in Minas,” said Viana to Sheet, asked about his move. The senator did not respond when asked about voting for the PL candidate, Rogério Marinho (PL-RN).
With the change, Gilberto Kassab’s PSD consolidates itself as the largest bench in the Senate with 15 senators. Valdemar da Costa Neto’s PL now comes in second place, with 12. Podemos goes from four to five senators.
In October, the party of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) managed to elect eight senators and announced that it would start the year 2023 with at least 14 – counting with the other six who have a mandate for another four years.
The shrinkage of the PL was only noticed when the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), announced the size of the party benches during the inauguration session.
See the new result of the benches in the Senate:
psd: 15
PL: 12
MDB: 10
PT: 9
Unity: 9
PP: 6
We can: 5
PSB: 4
Republicans: 4
PDT: 3
PSDB: 3
Network: 1
