Maia says that any potential charges against Temer will not paralyze the Chamber of Deputies.
Acting President of the Republic, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), said that a new indictment against Michel Temer filed by the Attorney General's Office will "certainly" not paralyze the work of the Chamber of Deputies; "While it is in the Committee (Constitution and Justice Committee [CCJ]), the plenary will certainly continue working and trying to schedule matters that are relevant to Brazil," he said; "It's not easy, but we will continue working," he added; Attorney General of the Republic, Rodrigo Janot, may present a new indictment against Temer until the 17th, when his term as head of the Attorney General's Office ends.
247 - The acting president of the Republic, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), said that a new complaint against Michel Temer filed by the Attorney General's Office (PGR) will "certainly" not paralyze the work of the Chamber of Deputies.
"While I'm in the Committee (Committee on Constitution and Justice [CCJ]), the plenary will certainly continue working and trying to schedule matters that are relevant to Brazil. That's what we've been trying to do. We should finish voting on the political reform, at least on the points where there is consensus. It's not easy, but we will continue working," he said.
Maia, who is first in the line of presidential succession, avoided commenting on whether or not the Chamber of Deputies should accept a possible new impeachment process against Temer. The Chamber blocked the continuation of the first impeachment process for passive corruption brought by the Attorney General's Office against the PMDB member. "I cannot speak about that," he emphasized.
Brazil's Attorney General, Rodrigo Janot, may file a new complaint against Temer by the 17th, when his term as head of the PGR ends.
