Maia: Chamber emerges wounded for saving Temer.
The Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), shows that his relationship with the Presidential Palace has soured completely; in an interview, the congressman makes several criticisms of Michel Temer and says that the House is "hurt" by its decision to exonerate the PMDB member; "The congressman is being pressured by his constituents, on social media. We can't hide the fact that society asked for his removal, and the House understood that it wouldn't be worthwhile. The majority decided democratically. The issue is explaining this to the voters," he says; Maia also stated that the government no longer has the votes to approve important projects in the House, and that the Presidential Palace has become "weakened" and "worn out."
Brasilia 247 - The Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), states that the government no longer has the votes to approve important projects in the House.
He says that the presidential palace became "weakened" and "worn down" after blocking the accusations against Michel Temer.
According to Maia, the president needs to improve relations with Congress and silence aides who "talk too much." "The Jaburu Palace has become a place where nobody wants to go," he remarks provocatively.
"The Chamber was undoubtedly hurt. Anyone who disagrees is seeing things from afar. The congressman is being pressured by his constituents and on social media."
We can't hide the fact that society asked for his removal, and the Chamber understood that it wouldn't be worthwhile. The majority decided democratically. The challenge is explaining this to the voters.
