Deputies ask House to deny Eduardo Bolsonaro and declare “abandonment”
PSOL deputies asked on Wednesday, 19, at the Board of Directors of the House that the license request of Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL) is denied and that the house declares abandonment of mandate.
Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL )’s son has announced that he will be licensed to live in the United States “to seek sanctions from human rights violators.”
“The clearly represented abuse of constitutional prerogatives assured to members of the National Congress, using the parliamentary license not to deal with strictly particular issues, but to escape the Brazilian jurisdiction and perform political activities abroad, thus configuring the abandonment of mandate,” says the psoists.
The request is signed by Chico Alencar (RJ), Talíria Petrone (RJ), Glauber Braga (RJ), Tarcísio Motta (RJ), Sâmia Bomfim (SP), Luiza Erundina (SP), Ivan Valente (SP), Celia Xakriabá (MG) and Fernanda Melchionna (RS).

Parliamentarians argue that, although the deputy requested a license to deal with private interest without remuneration, the statements of the former president’s son indicate that his stay in the US country has political and strategic motivation, not personal reasons.
“Such conduct violates the principle of administrative morality, considering that, as a civil servant, the deputy can only request license provided for by law, which is not the case, since there is no constitutional provision or regimental provision for such removal that, according to his own statements, the purpose of personal interest,” says the request.
Eduardo Bolsonaro stated in a post published on social networks that he is persecuted, and criticized the Supreme Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes and the Federal Police, calling “Gestapo”, secret police of Nazi Germany.
According to the House’s Rules of Procedure, parliamentarians may be licensed by health treatment, diplomatic missions or particular interest.
In the first two cases, the deputies continue to receive their salaries normally. However, when the removal occurs in particular interest, as in Eduardo’s case, the license is granted without remuneration.
The legislation provides that a deputy can move away without remuneration for up to 120 days. If Eduardo’s license exceeds this period, the missionary alternate José Olímpio (PL-SP) assumes the post.
