How absurd! State Deputy Fernando Cury (Citizenship) was caught passing the hand of State Deputy Isa Penna (PSOL), during an extraordinary session to vote on the state budget this Wednesday night (16). The moment was videotaped by the camera of the São Paulo Legislative Assembly itself.
In the images you can see Cury approaching from behind the deputy Isa Penna, who leans on the board of directors of the Chamber. He passes his hand around her waist and touches her chest; she, in turn, tries to push him away immediately. However, the deputy still puts his hand on Penna’s shoulder, who reacts again. The two gesticulate and chat with President Cauê Macris (PSDB) for a few minutes, until Cury walks away.

In an interview with Uol, the deputy reported that she was on her back and “only felt her hand slide down her side.” “The moment I felt it, I turned around and said, ‘Who do you think you are? Are you crazy? Run your hand over me like this? And I pushed, took his hand away. It is not a place to lean on, much less a woman “, ventilated.
According to her, Cury “had a lot of whiskey breath”, as a group of MPs was drinking before the session began. The deputy said that after he removed him, the deputy made a “misunderstanding face” and apologized. But soon after, Cury and other lawmakers “laughed at it.”
On her Twitter, Penna said she is “formally recording the report of what happened.” He also admitted that this is not the first time the situation has occurred in ALESP. “I characterize myself for working to combat violence against women and I affirm that the political gender violence that I suffered publicly in ALESP, unfortunately is not an exceptional case… Mônica Seixas and Erica Malunguinho, my friends and fellow party members, have already been harassed on previous occasions! “, wrote.
I am formally recording the report! And I announce that I will seek to obtain the public commitment of Governor João Doria that his veto to the bill 113/2019 that was approved by the Chamber, entitled ‘Dossiê Mulher Paulista’, be annulled.

“The case in which we live is not isolated. We see political and institutional violence against women all the time. What gives someone the right to touch an intimate part of my body? My chest is intimate. It is my body. I am here asking for the right to stand and speak with the President of the Assembly without being harassed., declared Isa Penna, in a plenary speech this Thursday (17).
Also in plenary session, Deputy Cury denied that there was harassment and apologized for “hugging” his colleague. “First of all, I would like to emphasize to everyone, especially the women who are here, that there was no attempt on my part to harass, sexual harassment or anything or any other name similar to that.”, began to say, who said he had never done “that in his entire life.”
“But if Congresswoman Isa Penna was offended by the hug I gave her, I apologize, at first, for that. Sorry if I embarrassed you. Sorry if I tried, as I do with several colleagues here, hug me and be close. If with this gesture I embarrassed her and she was offended, I apologize “, he concluded.
