After hearing complaints from the president () and criticism on social networks, the president of the PT, Edinho Silva, summoned a party command meeting this Thursday (17).
The call came at a time when petistas exchange barbs in the groups of WhatsApp because of the adhesion of 12 petist deputies to PEC (proposal for amendment to the constitution) of the armor, which imposes obstacles to the opening of lawsuits against parliamentarians.
The text provides that investigations against parliamentarians can only be opened in the (Federal Supreme Court) upon approval of deputies and senators, in a secret vote. According to reports, Lula exposed his irritation to Edinho and Ministers of the Government.
On Thursday, Edinho led the Extraordinary Meeting of the Party, which is expected to submit a note against the shield and the granting of amnesty to the convicts of the scammer acts of 8 January. The party is expected to guide the Senate bench to vote against these two proposals, closed by Centrão na.
The meeting takes place one day after members of the current CNB (building a new Brazil) criticize, on WhatsApp, the vote of petist parliamentarians to the armor PEC, including the requirement of secret voting for process authorization against deputies and senators.
Asked, the deputies had to justify themselves to the militants. President of the PT in Sao Paulo, Deputy Kiko Celeguim classified his vote as a bitter gesture in favor of guidelines of interest to the government. He also claimed that it would be a nod to prevent amnesty approval to the former president (PL).
“We need the vows of the centrão to approve our agenda and they needed a signing of the PT to reduce the damage of the approval of this PEC,” he said, adding that he and eleven more PT deputies have made this bitter gesture in the name of what they understand to be.
Vice-president of the PT, Deputy Jilmar Tatto claimed to have voted in favor of PEC to avoid the approval of urgency for the project that establishes amnesty to participants of the scammers-
“We vote in favor not to vote for the amnesty,” he justified in response to criticism of party leaders.
In networks and groups, these parliamentarians are accused of wearing the party’s image. State Representative Emídio de Souza (SP) was one of those who expressed annoyance, stating that the worst thing for a party like the PT is to leave militancy without speech and embarrassed in its daily performance.
He contested the argument that Petistas’ vote would be a gesture for century parliamentarians to stop pressing by amnesty to Bolsonaro. “Someone who knows the modus operandi of pockets and centrão really believes that they will back down on the idea of amnesty? Even to such an amnesty Light (without Bolsonaro) does not need negotiation, because centrão is not interested in amnestying JB because they want Tarcisio [de Freitas] Candidate, “he reacted.
“About our guidelines, does anyone believe that the centrão would vote against the reduction of IR in pre -electoral year? Or against zeroing energy account for the poorest?
In the party, there are also those who defend “water in boiling”. This is the case of the PT vice president and mayor of Maricá, Washington Quaquá, who, in video, preached pacification, in dialogue with Congress and Centrão.
