Alcohubre advances the CPMI reading of the INSS to June and denies political maneuver
Senate President David Alcolumbre (Union-AP) confirmed on Thursday (22) that the reading of the request for the creation of the Mixed Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) that will investigate fraud in the INSS was postponed to June 17. The joint session of the National Congress, which was scheduled for May 27, was officially unmarked due to the lack of agreement between party leaders.
Alcolumbre summoned the press to deny that the postponement represents an attempt to block the CPI. ‘Since the application is regimentally grounded and has the minimum number of signatures, we will read at the session on June 17, as provided for in the Chamber and Senate Regiment,’ he said.

Operation identified potential loss of R $ 6.3 billion, involving 4.1 million retirees and pensioners
The commission will investigate a billionaire scheme of undue discounts inserted in the payrolls of retirees and pensioners since 2019. The case has gained relevance after an Operation of the Federal Police revealed the involvement of INSS entities and servers, including suspicions of millionaire movements.
I want to profit from the bag
CPMI’s request was submitted by opposition parliamentarians to the Lula administration, who presses the rapid installation of the board. Part of the ruling base, however, sees the CPI as an opportunity to demonstrate that the scheme originated in the Bolsonaro government. On the other hand, another wing fears political wear and interference with ongoing investigations.
A lack of consensus
According to Alcolumbre, the absence of an agreement on the agenda of the joint session-which also includes the analysis of presidential vetoes and budget credits-made it impossible to hold the meeting initially for next Tuesday. He attributed the responsibility to Congress leaders, who did not meet to define the terms of the debate.
“Since I asked party leaders to seek dialogue with the government about the vetoes, nothing has advanced. I do not want to judge, but the fact is that, after almost a month, there was no understanding of the topics that would be guided,” criticized the senator.
Alcolumbre also denied rumors that the postponement would have been planned to coincide with parliamentary absences. According to him, it was considered June 24, but the date was discarded for coinciding with the holiday of St. John in the Northeast and Corpus Christi. “It would be a mistake to repeat the problem, so we anticipated,” he said.
