The situation in Brasilia even with the new accusation against President Michel Temer is of tranquility. The government is safe with the appreciation of the complaint for obstruction of justice and criminal organization that should be read on Monday in the Chamber of Deputies.
Even if the complaint involves more of Temer’s ministers, (Moreira Franco and Eliseu Padilha), the charge will not be divided and should have only one rapporteur in the Commission of Constitution, Justice and Citizenship (CCJC) in the Chamber of Deputies, that should be chosen on upcoming s Tuesday, April 26th. Approved or not in the Commission, the complaint goes to the Plenary of the House. For its admissibility, it must have at least 342 votes – a number that doesn’t scare the Government since the situation in comparison to the first complaint is more favorable to Temer, who has been closer to his base in recent weeks. He also narrowed relationship with the PSDB Party of São Paulo.
While the Chamber is addressing the complaint, Michel Temer is expected to launch the “Progredir” Program on Tuesday, which will offer professional qualification courses, assist on job selection and opportunities, and provide R$ 3 billion in microcredit for low-income families.
