Helena Chagas: The Presidential Palace escaped, but it's a Siamese twin of Congress.
"This time, the Presidential Palace escaped and Congress became the target, in the figure of the Senate president, Renan Calheiros, and more secondarily, Congressman Rodrigo Maia. But the Michel Temer government remains in the danger zone and knows it," writes the journalist about the pro-Lava Jato demonstrations this Sunday; she states that, "in the current situation, the Executive and Legislative branches live in an inseparable embrace like Siamese twins."
247 - After the demonstrations in defense of Lava Jato and Judge Sérgio Moro this Sunday, the 4th, the Planalto Palace breathed a sigh of relief, since Congress "was the target of the moment." However, the Executive and Legislative branches today are like "Siamese twins," observes journalist Helena Chagas, from [publication name]. The Divergents website.
"This time, the Presidential Palace escaped and Congress became the target, in the figure of the Senate president, Renan Calheiros, and more secondarily, Congressman Rodrigo Maia. But the Michel Temer government remains in the danger zone and knows it," she says, adding, however, that "in the current situation, the Executive and Legislative branches are in an inseparable embrace like Siamese twins."
"After all, the Congress that is now trying to pass laws supposedly against Lava Jato is the same one that put Temer in the Presidential Palace, and those accused of corruption in parliament are cousins and siblings of those in government," adds the columnist.
