Federal deputy would have a debt of approximately R$ 14 thousand related to unjustified absences in parliamentary sessions in March
The Chamber of Deputies included the federal deputy (PL-SP) in the federal public sector debtors register, after a failed attempt to collect a debt of approximately R$14,000 relating to unjustified absences in parliamentary sessions in March. According to information from the Chamber itself, the amount should have been deducted from the parliamentarian’s salary, but there was not enough balance in his account. With this, the debt was officially registered, and if it is not paid, it may be included in the Union’s active debt.
Eduardo Bolsonaro has been living in the United States since the beginning of the year. He had a 120-day parliamentary leave, granted between April and July, but remained outside the country after the end of the period, accumulating new absences in sessions. The Chamber found that the deputy missed four sessions in March, which led to the now formalized charge.
On social media, the parliamentarian reacted ironically to the charge, saying he was “persecuted” and stating that he cannot work in Brazil without risking arrest. The episode also prompted a representation from the PT to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR). The party leader in the Chamber, Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ), filed a request to revoke Eduardo Bolsonaro’s mandate. According to him, the deputy would have missed 37 of the 51 sessions held in 2025, which represents more than 70% of absences.
Lindbergh argues that, even if he attended all the next sessions until the end of the year, Eduardo would not reach the minimum one-third attendance required by the rules. The PT member also highlighted that the parliamentarian continues to receive public salaries, despite having accounts blocked by decision of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, as part of investigations into coercion against defendants in the coup acts of January 8th. The PGR has not yet commented on the revocation request.
