Luis Macedo / Chamber of Deputies
Maia says she didn’t even distribute the proposal.
The mayor, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), asked the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to reject a writ of mandamus proposed by opposition parliamentarians who ask for the suspension of the administrative reform process (PEC 32/20). In the letter sent to Minister Marco Aurélio Mello, who analyzes the action, Maia maintains that the proposal should not be interrupted because it did not even begin to process due to the non-functioning of the permanent commissions.
The need for PEC to be analyzed by the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship Commission (CCJ), which verifies its admissibilityand for a special commission, which decides on the background of the text. Maia also considered that, due to the pandemic, the process of constitutional reform proposals that do not have consensus is difficult.
“As long as the Chamber does not resume face-to-face deliberations, it is not even possible to set up the special commission that would be in charge in the future of evaluating the merits of the challenged PEC. Given this set of circumstances, the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies did not even distribute the article, “Maia said in the document.
Evidence
Maia also maintains that there is no room for an evidentiary analysis by means of a court order. Opposition parliamentarians claim that the government has not carried out analyzes and studies on the budgetary impacts that the reform may generate. In the lawsuit, the opposition says the document exists, but was not released by the government. The Ministry of Economy attests to the absence of these studies.
“It would be necessary to resort to evidentiary instruction to settle the divergence between what was indicated by one of the authorities designated as co-authors and the plaintiffs, which is unfeasible by mandate,” defended Maia.
Another argument for the mayor’s action is the fact that there are senators among the plaintiffs of the order. According to Maia, senators do not have a subjective right to restrict actions in the legislative process of the Chamber of Deputies. Finally, Maia emphasized that it is an “internal corporis” matter, so there would be no need for analysis by the Judiciary.
