Fátima: Temer fears Lava Jato revelations.
"It became clear that the rush to expedite the impeachment process has nothing to do with the trip to China. In fact, the rush is due to Operation Lava Jato. The rush is due to the fear that the coup-installed and interim president has that new accusations will implicate him," declared Senator Fátima Bezerra (PT-RN), after accusations by Marcelo Odebrecht involving the name of the interim president.
247 - Senator Fátima Bezerra (PT-RN) stated this Monday, the 8th, that the haste in concluding the impeachment process of President Dilma Rousseff is not motivated by the trip of the interim president, Michel Temer, to China in September, as alleged.
According to her, the main reason is the fear of plea bargains from Odebrecht executives, involving several names from the current government's team, including the president himself. This weekend, allegations surfaced that Temer had requested "financial support" from Odebrecht for the PMDB party and that the company had transferred R$ 10 million in cash to party members during the 2014 elections.
Furthermore, there was an off-the-books transfer of funds to the campaign of the current interim Foreign Minister, José Serra (PSDB-SP), in his 2010 presidential campaign, when he allegedly received R$ 23 million from the construction company.
"It became clear that the rush to shorten the impeachment process has nothing to do with the trip to China. In fact, the rush is due to Operation Lava Jato. The rush is due to the fear that the coup-installed and interim president has that new accusations will implicate him," declared Fátima.
