The chamber’s Labor leader, Lindbergh Farias (RJ), said on Tuesday (2/12) that he will submit an injunction to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) for the board to abide by the court’s decision and declare the loss of the mandate of federal MP Carla Zambelli (PL-SP).
The speech came after the rapporteur of the process in the Commission on the Constitution and Justice (CCJ), Diego Garcia (Republicanos-PR), submitted an opinion to preserve the mandate of the Bolsonarista deputy despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for ordering the invasion of the regime of the National Council of Justice (CNJ).

What the psychiatrist says to Flordelis and Zambelli about Bolsonaro’s outbreak
For Lindbergh, this opinion symbolizes the process of frustration in the chamber and that judicial decisions must be adhered to.
He told reporters, “It is necessary for the Chamber to take a position because the path is the path to weakening the institution. Here they complain when I enter the Supreme Court. I want to announce that I am entering today with a security mandate from the Supreme Court, directed to the Chamber’s Board of Directors and the Chamber’s President, so that the explicit judicial decision with this ruling is implemented.”
The reporter talks about the uncertainty of Zambelli’s crime
Garcia submitted a 140-page report opposing the impeachment of Carla Zambelli because she “was not sure” that the parliamentarian had ordered the attack on the system of the National Council of Justice, the crime for which she was convicted.
Garcia explained that the decision was based on the interpretation of records to which access was limited, as the process was confidential. According to the parliamentarian, he requested access to the full text on various occasions, but was denied access by the rapporteur, Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
“In light of all these elements, my vote is in favor of preserving Carla Zambelli’s mandate,” Garcia told reporters. “It is not certain that the representative ordered the attacks (on the National Council of Justice system).”
The MP also criticized Zambelli’s conviction in the hacking case. According to him, the ruling “was issued exclusively on the basis of the testimony of Walter Delgatti,” who changed the clarification on various occasions.
This opinion is being discussed at the International Court of Justice on Tuesday. Members must vote for or against the Garcia report.
Mota accumulates pending cases
The president of the chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), has pending decisions regarding the mandates of parliamentarians who are abroad. Before Zambelli, federal MP Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) also left Brazil and moved to the United States where he works in favor of imposing sanctions on Brazil over the prosecution and subsequent conviction of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in the coup attempt.
It was then the turn of Alexandre Ramajim (PL-RJ), convicted in the same trial, to leave Brazil and move to the United States in September of this year.
“The president needs to call a meeting at the table and fire Carla Zambelli and Ramajim immediately,” Lindbergh said. “If he doesn’t do that, we have only one way, which is to provoke the Supreme Court so that there is a decision by the Supreme Court that decides to adhere to this action.”
The appeal comes in the wake of the collapse of the relationship between a Labor Party member and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. They both stopped speaking to each other about two weeks ago after successive clashes over Motta’s decisions at the helm of the council.
