INSS CPMI ends without report after 7 months and exposes political rift

The INSS Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) ended its work after a marathon session of more than 16 hours. The report presented by deputy Alfredo Gaspar was rejected by 19 votes to 12, preventing the consolidation of a final investigation document.

Without an agreement, there was also no vote on the parallel report prepared by government parliamentarians. The proposal was not even read, after a decision by the president of the commission, senator Carlos Viana, which intensified the climate of tension and exchange of accusations between the groups.
