Dona Iris demands that "traitors" come forward.
The message is for the opposition deputies who backed down and did not sign the request to create CPIs (Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry) against the government; the leader of the PMDB in the Assembly, Bruno Peixoto, says that no one from the party failed to sign; this fact generated the first crisis in the opposition in 2013; a meeting will be held next Tuesday to investigate the episode.
Goiás 247_ Who removed the names from the requests for the Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry (CPIs)? This is the question that torments the opposition and fuels the group's first (and serious) crisis in 2013. The opposition bloc failed to gather enough signatures to open CPIs against the state government in the Assembly. At the crucial moment, some deputies backed down, and the president of the House, Helder Valin, did not reveal the names.
Now, PMDB and PT are conducting a veritable internal witch hunt to discover who these traitors are. A meeting has already been scheduled for next Tuesday to assess the crisis. The PMDB leader in the Assembly, Bruno Peixoto, assures that none of the PMDB deputies have withdrawn their names from the list. Really??? Behind the scenes, the information is the opposite.
Federal deputy Iris de Araújo (PMDB) has already entered the fray and demands that the traitors come forward. "We are waiting for a statement from our leader Bruno Peixoto regarding this. Those who retreated should come forward," she wrote on her Twitter.
Bruno Peixoto has been trying to calm the heated tempers and said that any judgment before the meeting is premature. Deputy Karlos Cabral (PT) didn't mince words and confronted his colleagues, stating that whoever betrayed him must be punished.
The biggest disappointment for the deputies is that everything had been planned beforehand. The Health, Security, and Rodovida CPIs (Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry) targeted the state government. The creation of these commissions was intended to be the first major act of the opposition in 2013 and would inaugurate a more combative phase for the group. This first uprising failed, and now the group is trying to reorganize.
