The parliamentarians Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) e Flavio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) discussed this Thursday (21) during a joint session of the National Congress about the leaked audio in which the presidential candidate asks the former banker for money Daniel Vorcaro.
From the plenary rostrum of the Chamber of Deputies, Lindbergh questioned how to finance the film “Dark Horse”, which portrays the political trajectory of his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
“Your Excellency [Flávio Bolsonaro] There is a recording with Vorcaro saying: ‘big brother, there’s no such thing as half a conversation with us’. Your Excellency takes the stand and says nothing about it. No explanation to the nation, no explanation to Brazil”, said the PT deputy.
In response, Flávio recalled a meeting between the president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) with Vorcaro off the official agenda: “It’s your boss who has to explain what he was doing in that secret meeting. Helping Banco Master with the BC [Banco Central]hoping to change the BC president to help Vorcaro and Augusto Lima. Lula is a partner, advisor or just a friend of these people.”
During his speech from the pulpit, Flávio – surrounded by supportive parliamentarians – “challenged” other left-wing deputies and senators to sign requests for the opening of a CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) or CPMI (Mixed Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) to investigate the Banco Master case.
Under provocation, Lindbergh denied Flávio. “It’s a lie that we didn’t sign the CPI. We signed Heloisa’s request [Helena] e [Rodrigo] Rollemberg. Rogério [Carvalho] have another request. But I have a request: explain to me how money leaves Brazil, money goes to the USA and the film is shot here? Where’s the explanation? […] Meeting with Vorcaro was days before Flávio announced his candidacy for President. Did your Excellency go to Vorcaro for money for your campaign? All of Brazil already knew what Vorcaro was. The money came from corruption”, said the PT member.
CPI do Master
More than ten parliamentarians presented points of order pressing for the reading of requests on the opening of Master CPMIs in this Thursday’s joint session.
The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), reinforced that the decision on the agenda is up to the presidency of Congress and even though he is being demanded by oppositionists and government supporters. He defended the focus on the planned agenda for the analysis of presidential vetoes that deal with transfers to municipalities.
“Thousands of mayors in Brazil are in need of a gesture from Congress to deliberate this agenda. I ask for your understanding. I apologize to Your Excellencies for not meeting the demand requested by 11 more congressmen in this session in relation to another topic that was not previously established on the deliberation agenda”, said Alcolumbre.
