Lula’s government suffered a historic defeat, seeing his nominee, Jorge Messias, rejected by the Senate plenary
Surprisingly, the Lula government suffered a historic defeat, seeing its nominee, Jorge Messias, rejected by the Senate plenary. It is historic, because this has not happened since the 19th century and because of the elastic score for its rejection.
The episode shows that Tsar David Alcolumbre never accepted the non-nomination of his partner Rodrigo Pacheco. The duo probably operated strongly in the betrayal futures market. And it wasn’t difficult.
Firstly, because it encountered an opposition crazy eager to defeat the Lula government and the STF itself. The rejection of Messiah was also a demonstration of strength to the Supreme Court with the following message: we choose who we want, and we can remove anyone we want.
The crisis between the Powers reached its peak recently when Minister Gilmar Medes asked the PGR for an investigation against Senator Alessandro Vieira for having requested the indictment of Supreme Court judges in the Organized Crime CPI.
But Alcolumbre was not only well received by the opposition. There are indications that Senator Jaques Wagner operated against Messias.
It is clear that everyone acted in their own interests to reject Messiah. Although the motivations were different, there was a confluence of objectives that have more to do with messages to the government and the STF, and less to do with Messiah.
In fact, given the circumstances, even Rui Barbosa would be rejected yesterday.
