After opposition occupied the Board and prevented Hugo Motta from presiding over sessions, cases reached the Ethics Council; Pollon faces 90-day suspension request in two simultaneous processes
The Ethics and Parliamentary Decorum Council of the Chamber of Deputies will hold an extraordinary meeting tomorrow to vote on final opinions against three federal deputies. The session is scheduled for 2:30 pm and is directly related to the crisis that dominated the Chamber plenary — when President Hugo Motta was prevented from presiding over the sessions. The systematic obstruction of the work culminated in the cases being referred to the Ethics Council.
On the agenda, two representations. The first brings three cases together: the complaints against Marcos Pollon (MS), Marcel van Hattem (RS) and Zé Trovão (SC), all accused of conduct incompatible with parliamentary decorum. The opinion is from rapporteur Moses Rodrigues and will be read, discussed and voted on in tomorrow’s session.
The second representation again involves Marcos Pollon, in a separate process. Originated by an opinion from the Parliamentary Internal Affairs in September 2025, the representation was signed by the Board of Directors — chaired by Hugo Motta — and forwarded to the Council with an express request to suspend the mandate for ninety days. The rapporteur is deputy Ricardo Maia.
Pollon, therefore, responds simultaneously to two processes in the Council. In the most serious of these, the Board has already indicated the penalty it considers appropriate: ninety days without a mandate.
