Opposition will launch a 'blitz' at the Public Prosecutor's Office to keep Temer at the center of the crisis.
Political parties, led by the PT (Workers' Party), are preparing a series of actions to prevent the resignation of Geddel Vieira Lima from cooling down the crisis in the Planalto Palace; this Monday, a group of parliamentarians will go to the Attorney General's Office to ask Rodrigo Janot to investigate Michel Temer for three common crimes, based on what he admitted to saying to Marcelo Calero regarding the building in Bahia: prevarication, extortion (demanding undue advantage by reason of office), and administrative advocacy (using the office to promote private interests); the group will also request information from ministers Eliseu Padilha (Chief of Staff), Grace Mendonça (Attorney General), and Roberto Freire (Culture) about the contacts between the ministries regarding the project.
247 - Political parties, led by the PT (Workers' Party), are preparing a series of actions to prevent the resignation of Geddel Vieira Lima from cooling down the crisis in the Planalto Palace. This Monday, a group of parliamentarians will go to the Attorney General's Office to request that Rodrigo Janot investigate Michel Temer for three common crimes, based on what he admitted to saying to Marcelo Calero regarding the building in Bahia: prevarication, extortion (demanding undue advantage by virtue of office), and administrative advocacy (using office to promote private interests). The group will also request information from Ministers Eliseu Padilha (Chief of Staff), Grace Mendonça (Attorney General), and Roberto Freire (Culture) regarding contacts between their ministries related to the project.
As information These are from the "Painel" column of Folha de S.Paulo.
"Part of the Public Prosecutor's Office considered Temer's interview a disaster. The assessment is that the president admitted to having committed influence peddling."
This perception indicates the risk that the PMDB member, along with former minister Geddel Vieira Lima, could become the target of an investigation request to the Supreme Court.
