247 - The Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia, described President Jair Bolsonaro's dismissive reaction to the 5.017 COVID-19 deaths as of yesterday as a "poorly worded phrase." He believes everyone responds differently to a crisis. "I don't imagine that the president, because of one poorly worded phrase or another, is treating Brazilian deaths as irrelevant; I don't think so. But it certainly generates controversy." information It's from the BR Político website. 

Maia doesn't want a fight with the Planalto Palace. Two days ago, he lowered the temperature of the movement in favor of Bolsonaro's impeachment, while his allies in the Centrão negotiate support in exchange for positions in the government.
