This decision ends a session marked by tension. The Ethics Council recommended, in April, the dismissal of the parliamentarian and his ineligibility for eight years. The plenary was expected to confirm the opinion, but an amendment presented by the PSol changed the course of the vote.
The party proposed replacing the revocation with a six-month suspension. With the support of members of the government and Centrão parties, the amendment was approved by 318 votes to 141, thus canceling the initial report. Glauber thus retains his mandate, but will be dismissed from his parliamentary functions.
Glauber Braga case
The lawsuit which reached the plenary accuses the deputy of breach of decorum. In April 2024, he expelled Gabriel Costenaro, then an activist for the Free Brazil Movement (MBL), from the premises of the Chamber. Glauber claims to have reacted after the activist offended his mother, Saudade Braga, former mayor of Nova Friburgo (RJ), now deceased.
In April this year, the congressman began an eight-day hunger strike in a House committee. He alleged political persecution and said he was the target of a statement by former Speaker of the House Arthur Lira (PP-AL). The Alagoas man denies the accusations.
Riot the day before
After seven months of inactivity, Motta announced this Tuesday, September 12 that he would vote this Wednesday on Glauber’s impeachment request. The parliamentarian, in turn, reacted by occupying the Board of Directors of the Chamber and ended up being forcibly expelled by the Legislative Police.
While the MP was in the Speaker’s chair, official transmissions were interrupted. Servers and journalists had access to the plenary session blocked, and press professionals reported attacks by the Legislative Police. Motta’s performance was the target of criticism on the networks and by associations in the category.
