The CCJ (Constitution Committee) was unanimously rejected on Wednesday (24) to, which restricts cases against deputies and senators. Project should go to the House Plenary, where the set of senators will probably also reject the proposal, as a political gesture.
From the understanding currently about the Senate Regiment, the bill could not be discussed in the plenary because of unanimous rejection, and would be buried by the CCJ’s decision. There is, however, an agreement between the president of the Board, Otto Alencar (PSD-BA), and Senate President David Alcolumbre (Union-AP), for deliberation by the Senators.
Technicians in regiment of the house are evaluating whether there is a regimental possibility of this agreement being fulfilled. “Taking to the plenary is an important thing for everyone to speak,” said Otto Alencar to journalists.
The president of the CCJ from the beginning and, Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE). It was Vieira who suggested the unconstitutionality of the proposal.
The rapporteur mentioned, in an interview, that the text is technically already buried because it was unanimously rejected. “There is no need to consult the plenary, but I understand the political gesture,” said Vieira.
The PEC was, in a vote made by the box. The text stipulates that congressmen can only be prosecuted if there is approval by the legislature in a secret vote. It also extends the benefit to party presidents.
The rejection of the bill has the potential to create friction between deputies and senators. In practice, the House will bear on its own with the public wear caused by the Armage PEC. The most common when one house does not want to approve one project that already has the endorsement of the other is not to put it in vote.
A. How it showed the Sheetagainst deputies who supported the bill even before the text formally arrived at the High House. Last weekend there was against the project.
The pressure of public opinion was cited by Senator Jorge Seif (PL-SC), who removed his vote separately on the subject. “Separate vote” is a kind of alternative opinion in Congress jargon. “I need to recognize that the population has contacted us. We need to be sensitive to the voices of the streets,” he said.
Seif also said there are merits at PEC, but they were eclipsed by protecting congressmen in case of crimes.
On the other side of the political spectrum, Senator Fabiano Contarato (-Es) requested the rejection of the bill unanimously to end the process at once. Senator Eliziane Gama (PSD-MA) made a similar statement. “We need to bury [a PEC] Once and try to resume a minimum confidence in Congress, “she said.
“The PEC that formally points out is an instrument of defense of Parliament is actually a fatal blow to its legitimacy, since it constitutes open doors to transform the legislature into safe shelter for criminals of all kinds. This is a PEC that definitely opens the doors of organized crime,” said the rapporteur.
“This is the so-called deviation of purpose, evident in the present case, since the real objective of the proposal is not the public interest-nor the protection of the exercise of parliamentary activity-but the science desires of public figures they intend to prevent or at least delay, criminal investigations that may harm them,” Vieira said in the document.
The senator mentioned the 13 years after the promulgation of the 1988 Constitution, when a rule similar to the armor PEC was in force. This rule was revoked in 2001. During this period, according to the rapporteur, there were almost 300 requests for investigation against deputies and only one was approved by the House.
“Thus, this PEC would have the real purpose of protecting perpetrators from serious crimes such as corruption, money laundering and criminal organization, which is clearly deviation of purpose and, consequently, unconstitutionality,” said the rapporteur. He mentioned the possibility of occupants of other positions, such as state deputies ,.
Project supporters call it PEC from prerogatives and claim that it is important to protect congressmen from abuse from the (Supreme Court).
Alessandro Vieira rejected the amendments proposed by colleagues to the project. (Union-PR), for example, or to the speech of congressmen.
During the session, however, Moro stated that the proposal was contaminated. “I will not insist on the amendment right now,” said the senator, defending the rejection of PEC.
