Mr. President Davi Alcolumbre, I would like to express to Your Excellency my solidarity, a solidarity that arises from the institutional obligation we have to stand together in critical moments when the President of our House finds himself unjustly implicated, but also from the human solidarity of someone who knows you and knows that an event of this nature, a report of this magnitude, strikes not only your status as a Senator of the Republic, President of the Senate, President of the National Congress, but clearly affects your human, family and personal dimension, and your relationships.
Rodrigo Pacheco: Therefore, at the outset, I state what is most important in these remarks of mine, which is my very sincere solidarity with Your Excellency in light of this matter and its content, but, listening to your speech, I identify a singularity in this episode that truly deserves, as Your Excellency says, emphasis and concern.
Rodrigo Pacheco: If there is an allegation by a cooperator, in the context of a plea bargain or cooperation agreement, made through his lawyers to the competent authorities, it will be for Your Excellency to defend yourself against an allegation that may be made, through the available legal means, seeking to demonstrate your innocence with respect to that alleged fact and the reason for the inclusion of a non‑existent fact in the scope of a plea agreement.
