Allies evaluate appoint Eduardo Bolsonaro to office and avoid risk of cassation

Allies of federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) articulate their appointment to a position in the state executive as a way to keep him away from the House of Representatives without risk of cassation.

The maneuver, revealed by journalists Andréia Sadi, from G1and Monica Bergamo, from the newspaper S.Paulo Folhaseeks to ensure the parliamentary mandate even with Eduardo’s permanence in the United States, where he acts as a political articulator of pockets.

According to the reports, the governor of Rio de Janeiro, Claudio Castro (PL), is the closest to realizing the appointment. The idea is to create a special secretariat for Eduardo in the US, allowing him to license from office in the House and avoid penalties for non -justified absences. The measure would prevent the deputy from losing the privileged forum or facing a process of cassation.

Legal strategy

Under the rules of the House, deputies can graduate to assume positions in the executive, as state secretariats, without losing their mandate. In such cases, the party or coalition alternate assumes the chair and the holder maintains prerogatives as the special forum. However, if exceeded 120 days without legal justification, the parliamentarian runs the risk of dismissal for absences.

The problem: Eduardo is investigated for coercion in the course of the process, suspected of acting to pressure US authorities to impose sanctions on Brazil in response to his father’s judgment, Jair Bolsonaro (PL), in the STF for coup attempt. Therefore, allies warned Castro that the appointment can be interpreted as an attempt for judicial obstruction, with a risk of legal liability.

Flávio Bolsonaro works behind the scenes

According to the calculation of Sheetthe articulation by the appointment of Eduardo Bolsonaro has been led by his brother, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), who seeks alternatives to shield the family’s political core. Castro would have been probed directly by Flavio and, according to allies, would be willing to collaborate.

Allied governors, such as Tarcisio de Freitas (SP) and Jorginho Mello (SC), have also been cited as options, but so far have not advanced with the proposal. The movement highlights the Bolsonaro family’s concern with Eduardo’s permanence in the US and the legal and political effects of his prolonged absence.

Reactivated mandate

With the end of the 120-day license on Monday (21), Eduardo resumed his mandate, even at a distance. If you do not submit a new request for removal with legal justification, you may face disciplinary proceedings in the House for unjustified absences.

Meanwhile, the inquiry that investigates the performance of Eduardo and his father is underway to influence US authorities against the Supreme Court. The Attorney General’s Office and the Federal Police consider that there are elements to investigate the two for coercion in the course of the process, obstruction of justice and attack on national sovereignty.
