senators CPI from pandemic The Senate want a show. To support the circus, there is a backstage debate about accepting the proposal and bringing the general’s ex-wife to plenary. Eduardo Pazuello, former Minister of Health, Andrea Barbosa is vindictive and says she has photographs of suspicious encounters with her ex-husband. Even CPI President, Senator Omar Aziz |, does not trust the quality of information, the practical results of the investigation and assesses the possibility of damaging the image of the Parliamentary Committee and Congress. The ex-wife’s listening strategy is not new and has already produced embarrassing CPI estimates. There is nothing more intimate than a woman, she knows everything (or almost everything). When you become an opponent, the damage can be great.

For the first time I saw an ex-wife testifying in a parliamentary commission of inquiry, it was Marinalva Silva, the ex-wife of the then MP Manoel Moreira. This was an investigation into budget theft (CPI of the Congressional Gnome Budget). She gave details. Meetings at your home, exchange of stolen goods and conversations. Then the woman served coffee and listened to all the negotiations outside the door, she knew who had the stolen money in her hands. Judging by the details presented, it was so obvious that she was telling the truth that the deputy turned out to be defenseless. Later, called upon to give an explanation, he came up with the phrase: “He who possessed such a woman does not need enemies.” Not really. The ex-wife of an honest deputy, not involved in swindlers and robberies, cannot do anything against him.

The ex-wife of the former mayor of São Paulo Celso Pitt also caused damage. He pointed to accounts abroad, the strategies he used to plunder public resources, and the names of allies and friends. It was such a mess that Pitta could not even speak when he went to defend himself in Banestado CPI, investigation into the case of currency evasion. After some time, the former mayor himself went to court with a claim against his ex-wife for compensation for moral damage. The testimony was a brutal spectacle revealing the couple’s intimate relationship in a CPI plenary session. Amid the laughter and embarrassment, there was little progress in the investigation. Everything against Pitta has already been documented, and Banestado’s final CPI report is a map of how stolen money across all sectors travels behind the scenes of the economy.

Another ex-wife who caused confusion and showed dirty details when washing dirty clothes in public was Cristina Caldeira. Famous ex-wife in Sao Paulo social circles Valdemar da Costa No It was a lot of work and few results in the investigation. In addition to testifying at CPI, she gave interviews in which she spoke about personal and even intimate relationships with the former official president of the PL. This showed that the couple’s home was being maintained by a political party. Upon divorce, Christina refused to leave the property. “But the house belongs to the LP, the party pays everything,” the deputies insisted. “I don’t care, my marriage is with Waldemar, not with PL,” she reacted with obvious pain. The PL, at the direction of Valdemar, ordered the electricity to be cut off. Christina hired generators that stood on the sidewalk for an absurd fee for Valdemar, which sparked complaints in the noble Lago Sul de Brasilia. The smell of burning oil prevailed, and the noise of the generators was annoying. Political and personal coup.

Currently, the CPI pandemic understands that the testimony of the ex-wife in the plenary meeting should be very well appreciated. No new details are expected and President Omar Aziz does not want to show off. The ex-wife of General Pasuello wants to speak with the president in private and has already tracked down other members of the commission, but there is no decision to listen to Andrea yet. Experienced senators defend. After all, there is no shortage of ex-wife revealing the secrets of the craft at the CPI plenary. The MP recently fell into depression following a coup d’état in which he intended to be the protagonist. He has planned a split with his office secretary. In advance, he turned his mistress into a figurehead. All bribes were sent to the hands of the future woman. When the money was already decent, the deputy parted with the official, but when he thought what would happen to the secretary, he was kicked out. She left with all the money she had accumulated over the years. He was left with the processes in Lava Jato and with a deep well of abandonment. Worst of all, he was not allowed to appear in court or even file a complaint with the police. Colleagues, connoisseurs of failure, can only console him. The theft of a stolen product is not reported in the newspapers.
