Penalties can range from a simple disapproval to the loss of mandate; more severe punishments need the approval of the Chamber Plenary
The opinion that recommends the cancellation of the mandate of the deputy, of Rio de Janeiro, will be voted by the Ethics Council of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday (9). The vote, which had been postponed earlier due to a request for a view, is now scheduled to occur. The deputy, from the PSD of Bahia, is the rapporteur of the case and suggests the punishment to the parliamentarian. The controversy involving Glauber Braga emerged after a new party accusation, which reportedly denounced him with kicks and push, member of the Free Brazil Movement (MBL), during a demonstration in defense of application drivers.
The incident was recorded in video, and Braga argues that his reaction was a response to the provocations made by Costenaro. The Ethics Council has the responsibility to evaluate and apply sanctions to deputies who do not comply with parliamentary decorum rules. Penalties may range from simple written or verbal censorship (disapproval of the act) to the loss of the mandate, and the most severe punishments need the approval of the House Plenary.
Glauber Braga’s situation raises questions about the conduct of parliamentarians and the importance of respect for the rules governing behavior in the house. The decision of the Ethics Council may have a significant impact on the deputy’s political career and the PSOL’s image.
