The president of Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), commented on Monday (12) about the process involving Federal Deputy Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ), who is processed in the Supreme Court (STF) today. Last Wednesday (7), the Legislative House suspended the criminal action against the parliamentarian under the attempted coup d’état, which would have occurred in 2022.
“We have the legal advice of the house studying the subject to see how the House will position itself,” said the leader of the house. “It is important to say that this was a decision backed by more than 300 deputies, that is, the wide will of the house was expressed there by locking the criminal action, And at the right time, after talking to legal advice, we will take our position. ”
The statement was made at the event Dialogues Sphere, which takes place this Monday in New York and gathers leaders from the public and private sectors to discuss the transformations and challenges of Brazil.
The first class of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) made a majority to partially suspend criminal prosecution against branch, but accepted the exclusion of two crimes. This decision occurred after the House of Representatives approved last week a bill that suspends the entire process against the deputy.
The decision was unanimous. The ministers understood that deputy can respond only for the crimes committed before the diploma and overturned the suspension to other defendants of the alleged coup plot.
Still in conversation with the press, the mayor stated that “anticipating the electoral debate, in my assessment, is not good for the country.” According to him, it is necessary to discuss “important guidelines”, such as the new National Education Plan.
“Many times, we end up focusing on guidelines that often do not actually represent what society expects for us,” he added.
Suspension of accusations
The request for suspension of the criminal action was submitted by the PL and is based on the 53rd article of the Constitution. The standard defines that all deputies and senators are inviolable, civil and criminally, “for any of their opinions, words and votes.”
An excerpt from the article points out that, when there is a complaint against parliamentary for a crime that occurred after the diploma, the Supreme Court will be aware of Congress and, at the political party initiative, the plenary may hold the progress of the action.
