Congressman Vitor Hugo (PSL-GO), the leader of the PSL in the House and also the leader of the government in the House, said this Sunday (4) in an interview with TV channel CNNthat there is neither political nor legal support for the successful implementation of the request to impeach Bolsonaro. Apart from a solid base of support, he said, there are no weighty and credible accusations against the president.
“This ‘super-request’ for impeachment is nothing more than a summary of the requests that have been filed over the past two and a half years,” he said.
“There are 122 requests that have not made any progress in the House because, on the one hand, there is neither political feasibility, because the federal government has a consolidated basis in the House, nor legal validity simply because there is no certain fact or crime that has some materiality that can be proven, which can be seriously imputed to the President of the Republic or one of his ministers. ”
A broad request for impeachment against President Jair Bolsonar was filed on Wednesday (30) by a group of parliamentarians from various parties, community leaders and popular movements.
The document brings together the arguments of an additional 122 obstruction requests to Bolsonar, already submitted to the President of the House currently occupied by ally Arthur Lear (PP-AL).
Asked about one of the main accusations that Bolsonaro was silent regarding information about irregularities in the negotiations on the Indian vaccine Covaxin, Vitor Hugo confirmed that the president did what he should have done.

At the moment, it is clear that there were no violations on the part of the president, he said. – If he, having received the news of a possible violation, he reported, as the press reported, to his minister. [o então ministro da Saúde Eduardo Pazuello], who is responsible for the control and implementation of contracts, there were no failures on the part of the president. “
The new collective impeachment order mentions more than 20 crimes that Bolsonaro allegedly committed during his term. These include crimes against the Union, free exercise of authority, internal security, good governance, public money, and compliance with judicial decisions.
In total, the document was signed by 46 parliamentarians, subjects and parties. The subtitles that subscribe to the Impeachment Request are PCB, PSB, PT, PSTU, Psol, PDT, PCdoB, PCO, Rede Sustentabilidade, and Cidadania.
