Senate President David Alcolumbre (Brazil-AP Union) determined the cut of the transfer of security cameras during the occupation of the plenary by parliamentarians, according to Folha de S. Paulo. The measure aimed to prevent the circulation of images showing protesters sitting in the chair of the presidency.
Unlike the House of Representatives, the Senate restricted the access of journalists and non -credential advisors and banned the entry of banners, flags and posters. Orders to reinforce the barrier were passed on to the Legislative Police, also by determination of alcohumbre.
The riot occurred after the house arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), when the opposition began to occupy the plenary of the House and Senate to press for the vote on what parliamentarians call the “peace package”, which includes the impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the end of the privileged forum and the amnesty to those involved in the acts of January 8, 2023.

Internal images of plenary cameras and commissions are transmitted in real time to offices.
A server heard by the newspaper reported that he even thought that it was a technical failure and called the administration. Then he learned that the cut had been intentional.
In the House of Representatives, the episode resulted in embarrassing moments for the president of the house, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB). On Wednesday night (6), trying to take over the post in the plenary, he was more than six minutes prevented from occupying the chair of the presidency.

In the Senate, David Alcolumbre only returned to the Plenary on Thursday morning (7), after the parliamentarians left the board. He recorded the moment in a video published on social networks, in which he appears entering the Senate and taking seat in the chair of president.
