The summit of the resumption of the House’s Ethics Council after the actions of the (Supreme Court) against (Somos-ES) increase friction between legislative and judiciary. The House’s own president, (-ap), gave signs in this regard.
The thematic commissions of the High House had members nominated and presidents chosen at the beginning of the year. It was not the case of the Ethics Council, which entered a kind of ostracism.
The board is responsible for analyzing punishments to senators who have inadequate conduct. Even when it is in a position to function, however, the agency has discreet performance.
The evaluation of senators heard by Sheet It is that the stress between the house and the Supreme Court could have been avoided if the senators themselves had imposed some kind of reprimand to Val in the past.
The senator was the target of precautionary measures after. On the way back to Brasilia, he received a court order to be collected at home at night and lost his diplomatic passport. In addition, the money from your cabinet was frozen.
The Senate would need to vote whether or not to accept the measures against Val. The house’s summit tries to avoid this vote because there is the assessment that it would be the probability that most senators decide to face the Supreme, to overthrow these judicial determinations and climb a crisis between powers.
Marcos do Val said he warned authorities that he would find his daughter in the United States and reported details of the trip. “If it weren’t to leave Brazil, I would have very clear written ‘forbidden to leave the country’ or something else in this regard [na decisão de Moraes]”The senator said.

In the cases analyzed for lack of decorum, some denunciation of the Judiciary, the Public Prosecution Service, some deviation, who can also judge is the Ethics Council, not only the judiciary,” said the chairman of the Senate Constitution and Justice Commission (PSD-BA), about the situation of Mark do Val.
in conversations with members of the Court, was to ask the Court to remove the precautionary measures that interfere in the exercise of the term of Marcos do Val and, in parallel, to suspend the mandate of the senator through the Board of Directors, an organ that runs the house. Thus, the punitive measure would be applied by the Senate itself, without the interference of external power.
The problem is that there is no precedent, and a, not the Senate.
Resather, bench leaders evaluate that this maneuver will only be viable because the harm is Marcos do Val. The senator has few allies willing to fight for him. In addition, he would not be able to obtain a decision favorable to maintain his mandate in the Supreme Court for his history of court problems.
I alcohrate, however, resist the possibility of canceling the mandate of Marcos do Val, which ends in 2027. Part of the senators tries to convince him to ask for medical license, a hypothesis that is rejected by Val.
