The fight between Lulista and Bolsonarista councilors in the first session of the meeting called a warning sign among allies of the mayor (), who has an extensive legislative agenda planned. Neither side shows any signs of lowering their tone.
“Democracy is chatty”, says Adrilles Jorge (União), one of the protagonists of the conflict. The order in the Executive is to shield projects from the turmoil in the plenary, which is stimulated by a crop of councilors with origins in activism and social media.
In this scenario, one of the concerns of the mayor’s allies is the change in command of the São Paulo Legislature. (União) assumed the presidency of the House for the first time this Wednesday (1st), replacing Milton Leite (União), who was in his sixth term as head of the Chamber.
The assessment is that the more radicalized councilors could make the sessions and the making of agreements more difficult, which could be avoided with a more experienced and better known name like Leite.
This Wednesday (1st), the argument began after Zoe Martinez (PL) praised former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in a speech. In reaction, Lulistas chanted “no amnesty”, in reference to investigations into the participation of Bolsonaro and his allies in the coup plot.
