In an attempt to safeguard the authority, he declined to put on the agenda, immediately, the terms of the agreement in which he did not participate, but the pressure on him remains.

Days after the riot, the House tried to jet the so -called Armage PEC, which is defended by Lira and Centrão and has as its main point to give Congress the power to block investigations and processes against parliamentary – that was in force until 2001 and was overthrown after a large history of impunity.

Considered skillful and efficient missions, orbited powerful in his four deputy mandates-it was one of the main allies, who presided over the house in 2015 and 2016, and also remained close to successors (2016-2021) and the (2021-2025) himself.

So much so that his name was taken from the manga by Alagoas and announced as successor after months of dispute among other postulants, such as Elmar Nascimento (Brazil-AP Union) and Antonio Britto (PSD-BA).

Motta was easily elected in the first round, with a range of support that went from PT to PL, a party to whom the willingness to vote the amnesty proposal – but the predecessor promised to resolve, but did not comply.

In the first semester of term, and without the resolution of the amnesty issue ,.

This reaction took place at the moment of more shudder with the Planalto Palace, after leading proposal by Lula, days after discussing the matter with Finance Minister Fernando Haddad and ranked the meeting as “historical”.
