Pacheco gives senators until Friday to show their support for the 8/1 CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry).
Senator Soraya Thronicke (União-MS), who initiated the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry), gathered the necessary number of signatures in January.
247 - The president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), announced on Wednesday that those senators who support the creation of a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) to investigate the anti-democratic acts of January 8th will have until Friday to present their signatures in favor of the creation of the committee in the House.
Senator Soraya Thronicke (União-MS), who initiated the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry), gathered the necessary number of signatures in January. In order to open the CPI, she filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Federal Court (STF) asking the Senate president to take the initiative. In response, Pacheco stated that the signatures should have been collected during the current legislature, which began in February.
"An official letter will be sent today (Wednesday) to the signatories of the request authored by Senator Soraya Thronicke to create a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry to investigate responsibility for the anti-democratic and terrorist acts committed on January 8, 2023, so that, if they wish, they may ratify their signatures electronically within 48 hours, that is, by the end of the day on March 17, Friday. New signatures will also be accepted within the same timeframe," declared the President of the Senate, according to O Globo.
The government does not look favorably upon the initiative of the right-wing senators and does not believe that a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry is necessary to investigate the acts, since the federal authorities are conducting the processes with integrity.
