Federal Deputy Gustavo Gayer (PL-GO) stated, through his defense, that he was not intended to embarrass the Minister of the Secretariat of Institutional Relations (SRI), Gleisi Hoffmann, suggesting the formation of a “Talsal” with Senate President David Alcolumbre (Union-AP), and Deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ), the minister’s boyfriend.
The statement was sent to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in response to the criminal complaint filed by Gleisi, who calls for compensation of $ 30,000 and accuses the misogyny parliamentarian.
In the demonstration delivered to the Court, Gayer’s lawyers argue that there was no personal offense to the minister. “The quarrel has not published any personal attack that configures offense to the objective or subjective honors of the plaintiff, much less sought to embarrass or humiliate it publicly,” says the defense. The information is from the portal Metropolis.
According to the document, Gayer’s publication was a response to a speech by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) about Gleisi’s choice to command Sri, in which he refers to her as a “beautiful woman” who could help him approach the presidents of the two houses of the National Congress.
“The delay was making a criticism of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s unfortunate attitude, who had made a statement at the plaintiff’s inauguration ceremony as Minister of Institutional Relations, saying that he had chosen a ‘beautiful woman’ to dialogue with the Legislative Leadership,” the lawyers say.
During an event at the Planalto Palace, after the minister’s inauguration, Lula said: “I find it very important to bring here the mayor and the Senate, because one thing I want to change, establish the relationship with you, so I put this beautiful woman to be minister of institutional relations, is that I no longer want to have a distance from you,” said the president.

Gustavo Gayer then used social networks to mock the situation and said he visualized the scene of a “Talsal” between Gleisi, Lindbergh and Alcolumbre.
At the time, Gayer claimed that the statements were protected by parliamentary immunity. “I am a parliamentary and I perform my function based on Article 53 of the Federal Constitution. That is, my lines, as well as my publications on social networks, as judged by the Supreme Court, are covered by material parliamentary immunity, which protects my words, opinions and votes,” he said.
