Kim Kataguiri: (No review by the speaker.) — Mr. President, point of order based on article 132 of the Common Rules of Procedure of the National Congress.
Kim Kataguiri: In symmetry with the constitutional guarantees of the legislative process, I present this point of order to raise the noncompliance with the binding duty of this Presidency and to assert the impermissibility of unjustified delay in the installation of a mixed parliamentary inquiry commission (CPMI) intended to investigate the operations, institutional relationships, financial movements and possible irregularities involving the so‑called Banco Master.
The Federal Constitution, in its article 58, §3, does not confer discretionary power to the creation of Parliamentary Inquiry Commissions.
Kim Kataguiri: On the contrary, it establishes a true power‑duty of the Presiding Board to install them, when the formal requirements are met: a request signed by the minimum required number of Parliamentarians, the designation of a specific fact and the setting of a fixed deadline.
Kim Kataguiri: This is a constitutional prerogative of parliamentary minorities, conceived precisely to ensure oversight of acts of public interest, regardless of the circumstantial will or convenience of the political majority in office.
