247 - Suspended congressman Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), who is in the firing line of the Attorney General's Office and the Supreme Federal Court, sent a message to interim president Michel Temer: if he falls, he will go out shooting and could take with him about 150 congressmen, as well as a minister and a senator.
The information was published in the column by Andreza Matais and Marcello de Moraes, in Estado:
Cunha tells associates that if he falls, it will be by shooting him down.
Eduardo Cunha warned Michel Temer that if he is not saved, he will take 150 federal deputies, a senator, and a minister close to the interim president down with him.
Anyone who recommends that Eduardo Cunha resign as Speaker of the House is met with profanity and the explanation that if he does so, he will be arrested.
Last week, Cunha feared being arrested. His wife, Cláudia Cruz, became a defendant in Curitiba, within reach of Judge Sergio Moro, and a new indictment against him was filed.
In editorials published this weekend, Globo and Estado de S. Paulo urged Temer not to make any move to save his main ally (read here e here).
