247 - The PT will hold a meeting this Tuesday (21), via video conference, which will include the presence of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, as well as members of the party's benches in the Chamber and the Senate, to assess the strategy that should be adopted to remove Jair Bolsonaro from power. 

According to the journalist's column Beautiful MegaleAlthough it is not yet decided whether the party will file an impeachment request, the legal department has already compiled a list of possible crimes of responsibility that Bolsonaro may have committed. 

The meeting was scheduled after Bolsonaro participated in a manifestation made by supporters on Sunday (19) in which they called for the closure of Congress and the Supreme Federal Court (STF), in addition to the introduction of a new AI-5. “We cannot accept a president who governs against the Constitution he swore to defend. He has gone beyond all limits, therefore, the question of his departure is on the table. How to do this, we will evaluate, call on the broadest political forces, the social movements,” said the minority leader in the Chamber, José Guimarães (PT-CE), to the report. 

A group within the party has been urging the PT to embrace the "Out with Bolsonaro" movement for about two weeks. This faction includes figures such as Congressman Paulo Pimenta (PT-RS), Rui Falcão (PT-SP), and the party's former president, José Genoíno.
