The Bus CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) remains with its work suspended.
In a document sent to the court, the opposition in the Rio de Janeiro City Council denied any irregularities in the formation of the Bus CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry); however, the commission's work remains paralyzed until the impasse is resolved.
Rio247 – The presidency of the Rio Municipal Chamber sent a document to the Justice Department, this Monday (26), denying the irregularities in the Bus CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) pointed out by the opposition. The work had been suspended by the judge of the Public Treasury Court of the Court of Justice (TJ-RJ) Rosely Nalim. The CPI should resume its activities in the coming days.
The opposition resorted to the Judiciary after alleging irregularities in the formation of the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry), arguing that four of the five main members of the commission did not sign the proposal to establish the CPI, and that they are also part of the government's base, which supports Mayor Eduardo Paes (PMDB). "Proportionality stems from the principle of representativeness, which takes into account parties and parliamentary blocs, and not majorities and minorities," the text states, in a document sent by the allies.
According to government supporters, the opposition aims to obstruct the commission's progress, which the opposition denies. Councilman Eliomar Coelho (PSOL) believes the allies' justification needs to be better substantiated. "We (the opposition), eight council members from five different parties, tried to dialogue with them all the time, but since they didn't want to understand, we had to take other measures. The last resort was to file a lawsuit. Now, they need to present a justification for this proportionality," he stated, according to the UOL Portal.
The parliamentarian was the one who proposed the establishment of the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry). Besides him, the other four members are councilors Chiquinho Pezão, who also chairs the commission, Professor Uóston (rapporteur) and Jorginho da SOS, all three from the PMDB party, and Renato Moura, from the PTC party.
