Rio Grande do Sul 247 - Former governor of Rio Grande do Sul Tarso Genro (PT) believes that the political system has reached the "last degree of demoralization" after the meeting between interim president Michel Temer and federal deputy Eduardo Cunha (RJ), both from PMDB. The press office of the Planalto Palace confirmed that the meeting took place on Sunday (26), in Brasília.
"If Temer really received Cunha at the Palace, we have reached the ultimate level of demoralization of the Republic, and Ciro is right in saying what he says," Tarso tweeted.
The Workers' Party member cited former minister and PDT pre-candidate for the 2018 presidential election, Ciro Gomes (CE), in reference to the PDT member's statement that Temer is "the head of a criminal gang." "I know Temer. He's a bandit. He's the head of a criminal gang. How can someone have a 7-year-old son with assets worth R$2 million and nobody question the origin? Imagine if it were Lula," Ciro stated to journalists Marcelo Godoy and Kiko Nogueira on DCM on TVT (read here).
On another occasion, Ciro again lashed out at Temer, calling the PMDB member "a complete disaster". "And he is mortally wounding our young democracy," he said on Friday (24), during an event in Goiás (see here).
Cunha stated that, although he and Temer speak "regularly," there was no meeting on Sunday. When questioned by G1 about when he last met with the interim president, the congressman replied: "I won't say that." Later, he was confronted with information from the Planalto press office that the meeting did take place on Sunday. "But I don't confirm that," said Cunha.
