Soraya asks the STF to order the Senate to install the CPI of the acts of January 8

Senator Soraya Thronicke (União Brasil-MS) called the President of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), at the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to install the CPI that intends to investigate the acts of January 8 in Brasília. A People’s Gazette had access to the writ of mandamus filed at the Supreme Court this Thursday (16), which will be reported by Minister Gilmar Mendes.

In the document, the senator says that Pacheco failed to “adopt the necessary measures to set up a parliamentary commission of inquiry to investigate the acts”. Soraya filed a request for the opening of the CPI on January 8th, right after the acts against the headquarters of the Three Powers, and already has 38 signatures.

The senator says that the president of the house is committing an “illegal omissive act” with an “unjustified postponement of the processing duty and consequent installation of CPI”.

“More than thirty-nine days have elapsed, of which sixteen days after the reelection of the president of the Federal Senate, this has not given any progress to the request for the installation of the CPI, and it has not even been read until the present moment”, says Soraya Thronicke in the request to the STF .

She also reports that Rodrigo Pacheco himself said, on the eve of his re-election to the presidency of the Senate, that “whoever is in the presidency of the Senate will obviously have this commitment, to take care of the reading of this CPI request”.

“Once again the Senate acts below its autonomy and independence. Once again we go to the STF to enforce the law. We fulfilled all the requirements, but it seems that the impediment is political. It is our duty to investigate and respond to the population,” said Soraya in a Publication on the social networks.

Rodrigo Pacheco’s advisory has not yet commented on the report on the senator’s application.

Deputies also articulate to investigate acts of January 8

In addition to Senator Soraya Thronicke, opposition deputies also joined together to install a commission to investigate the acts that culminated in the invasion of the National Congress, Planalto Palace and STF buildings.

A proposal by Deputy André Fernandes (PL-CE) proposed a CPMI (Mixed Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) which already has 30 signatures from senators and 120 from deputies. The objective is to oppose what would be a government articulation to prevent the opening of the CPI in the Senate.
