Darcy Ribeiro (1922-1997) created the famous phrase comparing heaven to paradise, in which he highlighted the advantage of reaching Congress without the prerequisite of death. He celebrated his own mandate, won in 1990 by Rio de Janeiro.
Luiz Inácio da Silva (PT) seemed to echo the concept when he said that senators, “with a mandate of eight years”, .

What once went down in history as an inspired joke may now have been heard in a tone of hostility.
The weather does not allow for stumbles. There is a president of Congress willing to confront prerogatives. From the President of the Republic —in the appointment of a minister to the Federal Supreme Court— and even from his own peers —in the banning of commissions of inquiry.
