Kennedy: Maia's date is a "gift" to Cunha
"It will be a scandal to hold this vote [on the impeachment of Eduardo Cunha] on a day of low attendance in the National Congress. Since 257 votes out of 513 deputies are needed for Cunha to be impeached, this date is a gift to the PMDB member and a slap in the face of society given the number of serious accusations against him," criticizes the journalist, regarding the date of September 12th officially set by the Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ).
