(-PB) lived on Wednesday night (6) the most troubled public episode of the six months in which he commands.
Us, he threatened, was removed to the bottom of the plenary table by the push and showed clear embarrassment after, finally, being practically thrown back in the chair of president by allies.
On his way he found a barrier, the refusal of deputies to get up from his post, the suspicion of an armed deputy and even a lap baby in the middle of a platoon of about 70 people who clustered, shouted and pushed themselves in the small space.
The end of the riot of deputies protested against house arrest was sewn by former mayor Arthur Lira (PP-AL) with the opposition, but the outcome ended up from the script.
According to the leader of the Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ), the deal was Hugo Motta to leave the cabinet and resume his chair only when all the meats descended from the table to the plenary.
The president of the house had told the deputies to have as its honor the holding of the session at 20:30. He ended up deciding to take the short route between his office and the president’s chair when the clock was at 10 pm.
The press, which had been barred by the Legislative Police to enter the amotinated plenary, was released to accompany the outcome of the plenary galleries.
When it appears at the exit of your office – which has the right access to the plenary – and try to climb the stairs to access the table, by suit and with the usual cowboy hat. Thunder was posted there, with one leg as a hindrance.
It took the appeal of Motta, deputies and a legislative policeman who accompanied him to thunder to pass.
Sostenes said that he came to the order for the co -religionist to post on the stairs and prevent the passage of the president, as he wanted to avoid greater evil. Thunder said he was there to avoid the threat that the legislative police were used to force parliamentarians to force.
According to people who followed the turmoil closely, there were rumors even that some Bolsonarist deputy was armed. Although a Sheet Having heard this report from various sources of information, Motta’s staff said it did not come to him this suspicion.
After getting rid of thunder, Motta was stopped by Sostenes, who asked him calm. He moved on and arrived, amid the push, the chair of the presidency, but could not sit down.
There was Marcel Van Hattem (Novo-RS), who declined from there. Another who also resisted leaving the board was Marcos Pollon (PL-MS).
“It had been agreed that we were going to talk to the deputies and then we would go back to [gabinete do] Hugo to talk about what had been agreed with the leaders. We were still discussing the proposal when he arrived by surprise, say so, and it generated discomfort in several colleagues, “says Van Hattem.
Next to the side was Deputy Julia Zanatta (PL-SC), who even took her four-month-old daughter to the middle of the confusion-decibels were elevated by the religious songs shouted by Deputy Pastor Sergeant Isidório (Avante-BA).
As a pockets, such as Marco Feliciano (PL-SP), were talking and tried to convince the pair to give in, Motta was being removed by the push-push to the bottom of the table.
After a few moments, Motta ordered Legislative Police who accompanied him to open the way back to his office. He would retreat and the movement appeared to despair both allies and pockets, who would be even more at risk of having suspended mandates as punishment (this Thursday).
After taking a few steps back to the cabinet, Motta was pulled by Deputy Hélio Lopes (PL-RJ), who promised to remove the amotinas from the table.
On the other hand, Deputies Aguinaldo Ribeiro (PP-PB), Elmar Nascimento (Union-BA), Isnaldo Bulhões Jr. (MDB-AL), Dr. Luizinho (PP-RJ) and Pedro Campos (PSB-PE) pushed him toward the chair of the presidency.
Halfway, he met Van Hattem again, who was standing this time, and appeared to have a conversation of a few seconds, unlikely with him.
It was about six minutes. And finally, the mayor was able to sit in the chair that was obstructed for 30 hours.
Motta, who is 35, is the youngest president to command the House.
The pocket riot, which included not only the six minutes that shaken his management, but the need for intervention by predecessor and godfather of his candidacy, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), led parliamentarians to evaluate that his leadership was fragile.
Even allies say this operation to sit in the chair of the presidency was poorly performed by Motta, who hesitated and almost retreated. In the words of one of them, if the mayor had returned to his office at that time, he was in danger of fully losing his legitimacy in front of the house.
In his speech soon after resuming the post, Motta said that his presence was to ensure “the respectability of this table, which is non -negotiable” and that “the house can strengthen”. “What happened in this house was not good, it was not consistent with our history. […] What happened yesterday and today can not be greater than the plenary, “he said.
