(-RJ) states that the mayor, (-PB) proved not to be (-al) in the negotiation for.
Glauber went to sleep in the House after due to aggression to a member of MBL (Free Brazil Movement).
On Thursday (17), the Psolist ended the protest after Motta-which came to office with the support of Lira-to ensure a 60-day break in processing the process.
In an interview with Sheetthe first after the end of the hunger strike, Glauber reaffirmed the accusations against the former mayor saying that any deputy knows that he is behind everything. Lira has always denied these accusations.
What will be your posture from now on?
We are still finishing [o recurso à Comissão de Constituição e Justiça, a ser entregue nesta terça-feira]. Then I will try to dialogue with those deputies who want to hear the arguments I have to present.
We will continue mobilization with movements, with organized civil society. Has, for example, an act on Thursday [24]in Rio de Janeiro.
There is no change in tactic, route. My action that can be considered harsher within the council was in relation to the rapporteur [Paulo Magalhães, do União Brasil da Bahia, que Glauber acusou de trabalhar a mando de Lira].
I tried to maintain a firm, sometimes hard but respectful relationship. Now, with the rapporteur I had no way not to say very explicitly who was responsible for signing that report: Arthur Lira.
Mr. Do you regret being assaulted the MBL member?
A provocateur goes to meet him seven times. Then, inside, curse your mother in the lowest and most low way. My mother was with Alzheimer’s already advanced and would die a few days later.
Under similar conditions, would your reaction be different?
But doesn’t a deputy have to have a harder “leather” about that kind of thing?
Aggressions, attacks with the presence of the hardest right in Congress I lived every week and already have a harder leather. Now, when it moved specifically with my mother’s life and history, I really couldn’t stand it.
If emotionally this is an issue that I have to work in more depth, it can be. A parliamentarian has to have a greater understanding and hard shell, it’s true, but I am also a human being. And I don’t stop being angry and injured when they talk about a person I love so much and was unable to make their defense.
. Do you keep these statements?
What happens with the secret budget [a distribuição de emendas parlamentares mediante baixíssima transparência] It is a large scandal.
And who says I don’t need to adjective, that’s fine. Let’s go to the facts. , in Alagoas, it is a scandal. The municipality that had a former mayor arrested I don’t know how many times. Which, in a very short time, received R $ 90 million from the secret budget.
A municipality where money from the secret budget was caught after 200 withdrawals in the Boca do Caixa by private companies in an alley, to be delivered to the mayor. This is not banal.
Arthur Lira, in a call he made for Deputy José Rocha [União-BA]for the purposes sought by Arthur Lira in his power project in Alagoas.
What elements mr. has to say that Artur Lira is behind the attempt to revoke his mandate?He said in the plenary that he would be very happy when I was no longer there. Then he gives an interview and when the presenter questions cases of violence from the far right, he says: “It’s not just right, it’s not on the left either.”
So I get information from a deputy: “The Rapporteur [no Conselho de Ética] He met with Arthur Lira and is pressing him to modify the report. “
On the day of the admissibility voting [do processo]there was no other.
Ask deputies from the most varied ideological currents. They will say the following: “No, Glauber is also arested, fight with the deputies.” But when you ask, “But would that be a source of mandate?” They will all say, “No, it wouldn’t be.” Everyone will tell you that it is Arthur Lira. For me this is not a doubt, it is a conviction.
Hugo Motta was elected thanks to Lira. How was this negotiation with him?
Samia [deputada da PSOL e esposa de Glauber] e Lindbergh [Farias, líder do PT na Câmara] started this dialogue. And then appeared the proposal that I could suspend or end the hunger strike so that the defense instruments were guaranteed.
What I can say is that he fulfilled what was agreed with Sâmia and Lindbergh.
At one point, he was also concerned that I did not get out of the hunger strike. In the final stretch, I with Lindbergh and Sâmia in front of me, I ordered the phone and said, “President, I wouldn’t do that to Lindbergh and Sâmia.”
What I have to say right now, in this episode, is that he gave the demonstration that he is not Arthur Lira. It may have been a candidate of continuity, with the commitments that had been signed with Arthur Lira, but the political position he was adopted by this episode is different. He demonstrated that it is not Arthur Lira in charge of the presidency of the House.
What comes from there, let’s wait for the events to unfold.
Mr. Do you agree with a warning or suspension punishment?
It is an evaluation that will be done by parliamentarians. What I can say is that cassation is part of a process of political persecution and is unfair.
How were the hunger strike days? Expected to visit so many ministers [nove] of the Lula government?
I was prepared to be a much larger amount of days. There was a single moment that I shook when it made a change in the liver enzyme rate. It could be a traumatic episode for my son and for Samia. But I recomposed myself.
It had the welcome of the most different people, the most varied parties. For example, a PP deputy, Fausto Pinato, who went there and said, “I don’t vote in favor of this cassation at all.” Now the strength was that militancy, which was doing there every day doing activity.
Evidently I was touched and grateful for their presence [ministros]. I am sure it was very important for the expansion of the repercussion of what was happening.
