Mr. President, good evening. I want to record three points about some things that happened here today.
About: clarify and debate the text approved in the Chamber of Deputies before voting
The first point concerns the extremely quick vote — I'll use a euphemism here — which was inelegant on your part.
About: clarify and debate the text approved in the Chamber of Deputies before voting
I spoke today with the Rapporteur, Deputy Jadyel, and we aligned a text so that the House follows a path of pacification and can propose good measures here, but after the speech by Deputy Mauricio Marcon, Your Excellency quickly concluded the symbolic vote on an important matter.
About: clarify and debate the text approved in the Chamber of Deputies before voting
When a bill is good, there's no need to steamroll it.
About: ensure appropriate conduct of the President of the House during sessions
So, I wanted to make this very clear here, because I don't believe this should be a posture that the President adopts in this House, whether it suits me or not.
- Neutral
About: apply punishment for obstruction in sessions
The second point concerns your resolution, Mr. President, which pertains to the punishment of people who obstruct by any means.
About: apply punishment for obstruction equally
I'll be very honest: the Left has also used that same tactic to occupy this Table.
About: investigate suspicious negotiations involving amendment submissions
The measures, gentlemen, zero. Do you know what is disrespectful to me, disrespectful to this National Congress?
About: investigate and punish rachadinha schemes in the National Congress
It's the rachadinha (payroll kickback scheme). The rachadinha stains the image of this National Congress.
Do you know what tarnishes the image of the National Congress, Mr. President?
About: schedule impeachment requests when there are sufficient signatures
It's the President of the National Congress, Senator Alcolumbre, saying that it doesn't matter if there are 81 signatures, because he will not schedule the impeachment of Alexandre de Moraes.
About: respect decisions of elected representatives
That's disrespect for those who are legitimized to represent the people.
Do you know what is disrespect to the National Congress?
About: ensure independence between branches and respect for voters' representation
It's when this House overturns the IOF increase and the PT (Workers' Party) turns to Minister Alexandre de Moraes to have the IOF overturned.
This House, yes, at this moment, is being disrespected. Do you know what creates a negative image of the National Congress for the population?
About: punish deputies who commit crimes
It's when crimes committed in this House go unpunished.
Now, a Deputy here in front of us... Mr. President, if possible, I ask just a bit of your attention.
About: investigate and punish physical assaults between parliamentarians
Thank you. No problem. For me, Mr. President Hugo Motta, what disrespects this House and generates a negative image for the Brazilian population is when a PT (Workers' Party) Deputy slaps another Deputy in the face, and nothing is done; it's when, for example, there isn't a single word, including from Your Excellency, to condemn the aggression I suffered here at this Table.
- Neutral
About: investigate and document assaults that occurred in the plenary
In fact, Deputy Jadyel, the security guards were here and saw.
I don't need to lie to portray myself as a victim; that's not something I ever do in my life.
About: fulfill agreements made in the National Congress
Disrespect to the National Congress, once again, is when we have agreements made, and they are not respected.
About: put the amnesty bill for those who need it to a vote
Disrespect to me, regarding the National Congress, is when we have the majority to approve the amnesty, and it isn't put on the agenda.
About: approve parliamentary prerogatives
Disrespect to the National Congress is when we have here a majority to approve the prerogatives, and that isn't done.
This, yes, in fact, I think, creates a negative image of the National Congress.
About: recognize parliamentary demonstrations as a legitimate form of protest
It's not because we had a great number of Deputies up here that this delegitimizes the National Congress.
- Neutral
About: take public opinion into account in parliamentary actions
On the contrary, the population, I have no doubt — if you ask the vast majority — was on our side.
About: control expenses for STF office positions
That's because disrespect to the population, by this National Congress, is when we increase STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) staff positions, generating more expenses for the population.
About: prioritize agendas with greater social relevance over symbolic issues
Disrespect is when the entire National Congress mobilizes to vote to change the name of an overpass.
About: ensure independence between branches and respect for voters' representation
This, for me, is disrespect. How do you explain to the population that 513 Deputies are disrespected by a judge?
About: recognize symbolic acts by parliamentarians as a form of protest
This, for me, is disrespect. And a symbolic act, Deputy José Medeiros, done up here to draw attention to the fact that we are being disrespected as Parliamentarians — this, yes, for me, is disrespect.
About: establish and sign a CPMI to investigate INSS fraud
Do you know what is disrespect? It's when we have a CPMI to investigate the people who stole from elderly people at the INSS, and the President and the Rapporteur didn't sign it; that is, it already starts with a contradiction, it already starts with disrespect, because if it depended on them, the CPMI would not be installed.
About: preserve the Judiciary's independence and prevent politicization
For me, disrespect is when there is blackmail by the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) against us Parliamentarians.
- Neutral
About: investigate allegations of pressure by ministers of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) in Congress elections
It's worth remembering that, in the election of the President of the National Congress, Ministers of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) called Senators and blackmailed them, asking that they vote for Davi Alcolumbre and Rodrigo Pacheco.
About: respect election results
Do you know what is disrespect to me? It's when the Constitution, Deputy Bia Kicis, says that all power emanates from the people, and the people are indeed disrespected.
About: identify and hold accountable those who disrespect the National Congress
So, let's really put the dots on the i's and know who disrespects whom.
- Neutral
About: recognize representation of popular votes in the plenary
Up here, millions of votes were being represented.
- Neutral
About: respect equal voting rights among deputies
Mr. President Hugo Motta, you are a Deputy like all of us, and each one here has one vote.
- Neutral
About: clarify and debate the text approved in the Chamber of Deputies before voting
Each one has one vote, Deputy Jadyel. And I did my part, for example, by speaking with you.
About: approve measures to protect children and adolescents online
I hope that tomorrow, when discussing the matter, we align so that we can vote on a bill that, in fact, can help protect children and adolescents.
About: clarify and debate the text approved in the Chamber of Deputies before voting
What I don't accept and what I indeed think is disrespectful is using a symbolic vote quickly to suppress the discussion of a very important topic.
