Hugo Motta, mayor, also addressed the need for independence between the executive and the judiciary, stating that Brazil is advancing in the right direction
The president of the Senate, stressed the relevance of dialogue and mutual respect between the powers, especially with regard to the blockade of parliamentary amendments. He emphasized that Parliament must have freedom to legislate and represent the interests of the Brazilian population, arguing that a robust legislature is fundamental for the maintenance of democratic stability. “The decisions of the Federal Supreme Court must be respected, but it is equally indispensable to ensure that this parliament is not curtailed in its primary function of legislating and representing the interests of the Brazilian people, including bringing resources and investments to their region,” he said.
“We will work in harmony with the executive and the judiciary, but always ensuring that the voice of the people, represented here in this parliament, be the basis of all decisions.” “The Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary are not adversaries; They are pillars that support the nation. We call harmony and balance, because only then will we safeguard the constitutional rights and prerogatives of the National Congress, ”he added. , President of the House of Representatives, also addressed the need for harmony and independence between the powers. He stated that Brazil is advancing in the right direction and that collaboration with the Senate will be a priority.
“This independence and harmony presupposes the stubborn assessment in the fulfillment of constitutional attributions and respect for the competences of the other powers, always guided by the public interest,” he said. The controversy surrounding parliamentary amendments gained strength after the decision of the STF minister, Flávio Dino, who suspended the payment of these amendments until the Congress ensured greater transparency in their distribution. The situation worsened with the investigation by the Federal Police, which investigates possible cases of corruption related to the alcohumbre party.
During the opening of the legislature, the president of the Supreme Court, commented that it is not necessary to send messages between the powers, because the communication must be direct and clear. He also stressed the importance of reserving part of power for non -elected public agents as a way to protect democracy and ensure a balance in government decisions.
“Someone asked me at the entrance if I had received a message, or understood a message. The first thing that happened to me was: there is no need for messages, we have direct, open and frank conversation of people who want to be well, who help each other and who, when eventually diverge, we will be able to sit on a table institutionally and absorb the divergence ”
“All democracies reserve a portion of power to be exercised by public agents who are not elected by popular vote, so that they remain immune to the political passions of each moment,” said Barroso.
