In a post on social networks, the deputy claimed that Lula would be ‘offering’ the minister, who is the girlfriend of Lindbergh Farias, Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco and Mayor Hugo Motta
The Attorney General’s Office (PGR) requested the that accepts the criminal complaint presented by the minister against the deputy . This case gained notoriety after the minister’s inauguration, when the deputy made a controversial publication on his social networks. In the post, Gayer claimed that President Lula would be “offering” the minister, who is the girlfriend of Deputy Lindbergh Farias, Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco and Deputy Hugo Motta. Although the publication was later deleted, the minister decided to take the case to the Supreme Court.
Gleisi Hoffmann’s defense maintains that Gustavo Gayer deliberately distorted President Lula’s speech to offend the minister’s honor. In addition, the statement was considered misogynist and with no relation to the legitimate exercise of the parliamentary function. Even with the removal of the post, the content had already spread widely, generating a negative repercussion for the deputy. Interestingly, even some members of the opposition recognized that Gayer had exaggerated and that the situation could have been avoided more carefully.
After being notified, Deputy Gustavo Gayer received a period of 15 days to present his defense. This period is crucial for him to elaborate an answer that justifies his actions and possibly mitigates the legal consequences he faces. The expectation now falls on the decision of the Supreme Court, which should consider the recommendation of the Attorney General’s Office in evaluating the case.
