Current Brazil Network - Deputy Fernando Capez (PSDB) is the new president of the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo. He was elected yesterday (15), with 92 votes against two, received by the "alternative" candidate Carlos Giannazi (Psol). As the Assembly is composed of 94 parliamentarians, Capez was only not voted for by the two Psol deputies, Raul Marcelo and Giannazi himself. The PSDB member obtained 98% of the votes. Deputy Enio Tatto (PT) was re-elected to the 1st Secretariat. The elections of Tatto and Capez, by the same number of votes, were the result of a traditional agreement between PT and PSDB in the Assembly for the definition of the Board of Directors.
In his inaugural speech, Capez cited his 27-year career in the Public Prosecutor's Office. He promised that society will have a channel to participate and file complaints. He also promised that the House's thematic committees, especially those on Human Rights and Public Security, will be strengthened in their work, including "moving, if necessary, to be closer to the facts." The PSDB deputy also said that the Finance and Budget and Oversight and Control committees will play a role in assisting the State's oversight.
The new president of the Assembly stated that the predominance of the Executive and Judiciary branches in Brazilian parliaments leads to an "atrophy of the Legislative branch." This is the same term used by the government leader, Barros Munhoz, to refer to the insignificant role played by the São Paulo parliament in the state of São Paulo.
"Like all legislative branches in the world, especially in Brazil, it (the Assembly) has atrophied powers. Today, the Executive branch has primacy in legislative initiatives in all parliaments around the world," Munhoz told RBA two weeks ago.

In addition to the 14 members of the Workers' Party (PT), there are two deputies from the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL) and two from the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB). Meanwhile, the bloc supporting Alckmin has 73 deputies from 15 parties.
The PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party) has not yet defined who its new leader will be, which, for now, remains Deputy Cauê Macris. The PSDB caucus will meet this week to, probably, choose the name. Deputy Barros Munhoz remains the government leader. Any eventual change depends on Governor Geraldo Alckmin.
