RIO – The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), said this Monday that the action of the federal government in vaccination against Covid-19 can make President Jair Bolsonaro “suffer a very difficult impeachment process” in the next few months. Maia, who has accumulated more than 50 requests for impeachment against Bolsonaro, also said that the decision on the issue will rest with the new speaker of the Chamber, whose election will take place in February. The statements were given in an interview with the website “Metropoles”.

– The main mistake of the entire government of President Jair Bolsonaro is the question of the vaccine. And I think because of the vaccine, if you don’t organize quickly, you might go through a very tough impeachment process if you don’t organize quickly. Because the prosecution process, you know, is the result of the organization of society. How it was organized against President Collor and President Dilma – said Maia, referring to the processes carried out by Congress in 1992 and 2016.
Still according to the deputy, he did not perceive, until now, a pressure from society and the political class that “overflows the Parliament.” This movement, he says, can occur if the government does not mobilize in favor of vaccination as a tool to combat the new coronavirus pandemic. More than 50 countries have already started applying immunizers to their populations, while Brazil still does not have a set date to do the same.

Despite the urgency of the matter, Maia said it would not be up to him to discuss Bolsonaro’s impeachment at this time:
– We are in recess, you will not judge now. I am only going to create a political environment of disorganization the moment a new president is elected. I think that role belongs to the new president.
Maia also reaffirmed that the House’s actions to address the pandemic were her focus over the past year and praised the productivity of MPs. For this reason, he justified, the discussion about a possible impeachment was not privileged.

Asked about the speed with which US congressmen intend to discuss the impeachment of President Donald Trump in the coming days, after his supporters invaded the headquarters of the US Legislature last week, Maia said that the scenario in the country is ” easier”. given that Trump “crossed the line and put his troops inside Parliament.”
