In a session marked by heated discussions and political articulations, Deputy Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB) was elected on Thursday (February 1) President of the Chamber of Deputies for the 2025-2026 biennium. The election took place formally, with the presence of deputies of various subtitles who participated in the choice of the new leader of the Legislative House.

Motta had the declared support of two Acre deputies: Socorro Neri (PP) and Eduardo Velloso (UB). The others did not speak.

Hugo Motta, who has worked as vice-mayor, obtained most of the votes, surpassing his competitors in the dispute. With his election, he takes command of the House at an important political moment, with challenges both inside and in relations with the executive and the Senate.

The election was marked by a democratic process, in which the deputies chose their leader for the period that extends until 2026. Motta’s victory represents the consolidation of a political articulation that involved several benches and parties. The Paraiban parliamentarian stood out for his experience and the ability to negotiate within Parliament, which earned him the confidence of most of his colleagues.

Motta, in his inaugural speech, emphasized the importance of an independent chamber, but also open to dialogue with other powers. He pointed out that his focus will be the approval of essential reforms for the country, with the commitment to work for the Brazilian people.

With the election of Hugo Motta, the House of Representatives prepares to face a period of intense legislative activity, with important guidelines such as tax reform, administrative reform and federal budget. The new president promised to maintain a collaborative work environment and respect for differences in order to seek solutions to the country’s challenges.

Hugo Motta’s election is seen as a victory for Republicans, which consolidates itself as a significant political force in the National Congress. The new mayor will be responsible for conducting the legislature at a crucial moment in Brazil’s political history.

With his experience and political articulation, Hugo Motta prepares for a challenging mandate, but with the expectation that his leadership can contribute to the advancement of the important agendas for the country and the strengthening of democratic institutions.
