Petistas do accounts at CPMI of the INSS – Joint Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry to investigate fraud in the Social Security system – to try to control calls and avoid wear.
Although they lost control of the presidency and the rapporteur of the collegiate 17-14, allies of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) still believe it is possible to have a majority in the committee in Congress. The governors credit the unexpected defeat of the group to the absence of three allies at Wednesday (20) meeting and the replacement of these absences by PL alternates in the CPMI command vote. Government leaders assumed the failure and lack of articulation.
Therefore, with the presence of these allies, the expectation of the governors is that they can control the voting of requirements, especially the call. In practice, this means rejecting and preventing certain members of Lula or aligned management from being required to give testimony. For example, Lula’s trade union and brother, José Ferreira da Silva, known as Friar Chico.
On the other hand, having the majority in voting on the requirements can mean the government approving the call of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) management members and even the former president himself. The intention of the governors is to show that the corruption scheme began before Lula management, although it intensified in recent years, as pointed out in the Federal Police and the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU).
Not only for most in CPMI, but also for the work in Congress, the reorganization of the base is seen as crucial. However, so far, without much success. The centron is increasingly volatile and waving to build the heir to Bolsonaro’s political estate for the 2026 presidential and state elections.
The opposition, in turn, speaks of making the government “bleed” in CPMI for the coming months. The collegiate is expected to end at the end of March next year, but may have the duration extended later.
In addition to numbers and calls that can embarrass the government, the pockets should return with criticism that the management of the workers’ party president allowed irregular discounts against retirees – an important portion of the acronym social base – and was slow to act in their assessment.
Government and opposition should also run for the place of vice president of CPMI, which is open. The committee’s work returns next week with the analysis and voting of requirements on both sides.
