Finance Minister Fernando Haddad questioned which government authority will have the willingness to come to Congress after the episodes of.
“Every time a deputy, thinking about his social networks, disrespects the minister, the environment minister and today with me: asks the question, he says what he wants, insinuates things, and simply leaves before the Minister of State answers … Imagine if I did the opposite,” he asked.
He said he understood that parliamentarians have other commitments, but it would be good to stay to hear the comments about their questions specifically. “It’s a right to ask the questions, listen and get out of the plenary. Now, the way the pockets are doing-I’ve been through 2018, when former President Jair Bolsonaro was discharged, was allowed by doctors to participate in debate, and fled. Every time that’s it,” he continued.
This type of posture, according to Haddad, does not contribute to the debate. “In a moment, this kind of activity that is essential to maintain a relationship of the executive with the legislature at a high level, will no longer happen,” he predicted. “Marina, last week, now with me, in a moment, what is the minister who will feel comfortable providing clarification?”
The turmoil was provoked after a request for a question of order of federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) during the joint public hearing of the Finance and Taxation and Financial Supervision Committees and control of the House of Representatives. With a widespread confusion, with chat and a lot of circulation of advisers broadcasting the “bullshit” live on social networks, the president of the session, Deputy Rogério Correia (PT-MG), ended the hearing and dismissed the minister.
For Haddad, it is a “very large disrespect” a minister of state to go to Parliament, to be questioned and not to be heard. “The person asks a question, voms a lot of wrong numbers about the economy, and simply goes out before hearing the answer. What is the purpose of such a meeting? Is it not to clarify public opinion on what is happening?” He asked journalists when leaving the place. He was accompanied by the executive secretary of the folder, Dario Durigan.
