Bolsonaro's shock troops at the Covid CPI demand ministerial positions for those running for election.
Marcos Rogério (DEM-RO) and Luis Carlos Heinze (PP-RS) want the seats that should be vacated by Flávia Arruda and Tereza Cristina.
247 - Bolsonaro's shock troops in the Covid CPI are demanding payment from the government. Allies want Bolsonaro-aligned senators Marcos Rogério (DEM-RO) and Luis Carlos Heinze (PP-RS) in the positions that should be vacated by Flávia Arruda, in the Government Secretariat, and Tereza Cristina, in the Ministry of Agriculture, so they can run in the elections.
According to G1, the two congressmen were hoping for Bolsonaro's support to run for governor in their respective states. However, the president has signaled that he intends to support other allies, and now those allies want something in return.
According to the website, in addition to Arruda and Cristina, the following ministers may also leave their posts: Tarcísio de Freitas, Marcelo Queiroga, Fábio Faria, Damares Alves, Rogério Marinho, Onyx Lorenzoni, João Roma, Anderson Torres, Gilson Machado, and Marcos Pontes.
Marcos Rogério is also being considered for the position of Senate leader, should the suggestion of Alexandre Silveira (PSD-MG) not move forward.
