“At the time when this former convict [o presidente Lula] He was arrested, I was in the Federal Police, and rained attacks on PF by the PT staff. For example, by Senator Gleisi Hoffmann. Today they praise PF because we have a petista director-general. At Odebrecht, there was a bribe payment worksheet to politicians. I mentioned here the name ‘Lindinho’ and ‘Lover’, which should be a damn prostitute. There was even deputy who revolted. That is, the hood served. He went to lie at the CCJ [Comissão de Constituição e Justiça]if you victimize, saying, ‘You will see, your bad guy ”said Gilvan.

Here’s the full PT note:
“A Bancada Feminina do Partido dos Trabalhadores manifesta seu mais veemente repúdio aos ataques misóginos e criminosos proferidos pelo deputado Gilvan da Federal (PL-ES) contra a ex-presidenta nacional do PT, deputada e ministra Gleisi Hoffmann. O que aconteceu não foi um episódio isolado, mas tão somente a expressão repulsiva de um representante do Parlamento que usa seu mandato de forma violenta para tentar silenciar, humilhar e delegitimize women who dare occupy spaces of power and decision.
“Federal Gilvan, a parliamentarian who already carries the infamous mark of being convicted by the Electoral Justice for gender political violence against state deputy Camila Valadão (PSOL-ES)-in the application of Law No. 14.192/2021-repeats his trajectory of hatred and contempt for women and democracy.
“As he addresses his fellow men with protocol deferencing, he attacks his companion Gleisi with a vile, sexist and criminal speech, using hell and unacceptable terms. Such an act is not only a crime against honor (art. 140 of the Penal Code), aggravated by being against public figure due to their functions (art. 141, II, CP), but also represents a symbolic aggression to all women who fight for political participation and fight for political participation and They face machismo and misogyny daily.
“Such a parliamentarian, who had his mandate as councilor in Vitória revoked by TRE-ES for party infidelity in 2022, insistently demonstrates the practice of using the parliamentary space as a stage for his misogynist and undemocratic crusade. His project and representation boil down to attack, slander and try to subjugate public women, reinforcing male privileges and the patriarchal culture.
“In absolute contrast, Gleisi Hoffmann is a symbol of competence, resilience, dignity and unshakable commitment to democracy and social justice. His political action, whether as a PT president, or in his previous and current functions, as a parliamentary and minister, stands out for demonstrating skill, ability to dialogue and firmness in the defense of the rights of the Brazilian people and women. Federal are the expression of failure and frustration of those who do not stand to see strong and competent women occupying positions of leadership and protagonism.
“We demand from the Federal Chamber, based on all legislation and treated by Brazil within our House of Laws, in the context of the fight against violence against women, that Deputy Gilvan of the Federal is responsible with all the rigor, both in the criminal sphere and in the context of the Council of Ethics and parliamentary decorment of the House of Representatives, for its flagrant and unacceptable breach of decorum.
“Parliamentary immunity cannot be a shield for crime and the dissemination of hatred and misogyny. The PT’s female bench will not accept that the National Congress is transformed into the scene of violence against women.”
