247 - Under pressure from Lava Jato and the plenary vote on his removal, the suspended president of the Chamber, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), is preparing a statement to the press for this Monday (20). The PMDB member's public reappearance increases rumors about his possible resignation from the leadership of the House, according to Congress in Focus.
Behind the scenes, lawmakers are already maneuvering to compete for the leadership of the Chamber of Deputies, and the loss of support for the PMDB member is notorious.
In the Ethics Committee, Representative Tia Eron (PRB-BA) surprised everyone by siding with the rapporteur's opinion, Marcos Rogério (DEM-RO), which called for Cunha's removal from office. Another former ally who switched sides at the last minute was Wladimir Costa (SD-PA), who voted for his expulsion.
