Referred to a prison this Thursday, for alleged participation in a homicide, the councilor of Belo Horizonte Ronaldo Batista (PSC) may have his term suspended. According to the Internal Regulations of the Municipal Chamber, preventive prisons provide for the temporary removal of parliamentary activities. According to the document, the alternate must be summoned 48 hours after the court’s decision is notified to Parliament. State of Minas, the corregidor of the chamber, Bim da Ambulência (PSD), said that he will talk with the president of the Legislative, Nely Aquino (Pode), about the possibility of opening a cassation process. In the opinion of the councilors to whom the report listens, the installation of a procedural commission to analyze the case may even be important for Batista to defend himself.
According to Bim, there must be an understanding between the Board of Directors of the Chamber for the proposal to open the appeal to be made official. He regretted the negative repercussions that the event gives to Legislative belo-horizontino.
“Something shameful for those who are exercising the function of knowing that we have a detained parliamentarian. Although it is preventive, the fact that he is imprisoned contravenes the principles of the exercise of the function, “he said. The suspension of mandates can also occur for two other reasons: arrest on the spot and administrative arrest.
For Gilson Reis (PCdoB), the opening of the cassao guarantees Batista’s extensive right of defense. As an example, he cited Cludio Duarte (PSL), who lost his mandate last year due to “crack” accusations.
“It seems to me that the logic should be the same, with the opening of the procedures, and that he can defend himself,” he said. “I need to clear things up. But, in any case, it seems to me that the position to open the cassation process, “he added.
Edmar Branco (PSB) has a similar opinion. “I am in favor of opening the cassation process, but I am also in favor of the right of defense and of showing that it is not our fault. But, if Justia and the Police already have some proof, unfortunately there is no way to do much, ”he argued.
Upon request, the Chamber said that it will not comment on the case, since the process is proceeding in secret and has nothing to do with Batista’s legislative mandate.
Understand
Batista suspected of participating in the murder of Hamilton Dias de Moura (MDB), a councilor in Funilndia, in the Central Region of Minas. The two have differences due to the command of the Union of Drivers and Employees in Freight Transportation, Logistics and Differentiated Companies in Belo Horizonte and Region (SIMECLODIF). Hamilton had previously chaired the organization, now led by Batista.
On Thursday, the councilor testified at the Department of Homicides and Personal Protection (DHPP), in Lagoinha, and was referred to Ceresp in Bairro Gameleira.
At the door of the police station, he denied having participated in the murder. “He (Hamilton) was angry that I took over the union in his place,” he said.
In August, his office in the House was the subject of a search and seizure order in the case of Hamilton’s death. Batista was arrested this morning in Bairro Castelo. He arrived at the police station around 12:30 p.m., staying at the scene until shortly after 4 p.m.
Ronaldo Batista occupied one of the 41 seats of the Belo Horizonte City Council (CMBH) in August 2019, after Cludio Duarte (PSL) was accused of the practice of “cracked”.
The deputy had his name approved by his party in the internal party of the party to try to reelect him. However, he ended up resigning from the candidacy, so much so that it does not even appear in the database of the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE).
Asked about the issue after leaving the Civil Police Station, Batista confirmed that he had abandoned the idea of reelection due to the repercussions of the case.
