The demonstration is a response to Minister Celso de Mello. The minister asked the mayor for explanations on the progress of a request for impeachment filed in late March by a group of lawyers against Bolsonaro.
This same group of lawyers appealed to the STF to compel Maia to analyze the complaint for a crime of responsibility: according to the Constitution, it is up to the Chamber to authorize the procedure to verify whether the President committed a crime.
In defending the rejection of the lawyers’ action, the deputy declared that an impeachment process is an “extreme solution” and must be carefully analyzed in its legal, political and institutional aspects.
“It is a fact that the republican principle presupposes the effective responsibility of all, and the President of the Republic is no exception. But impeachment is an extreme solution: the first judge of elected officials in a democracy must always be the popular vote. The Chamber Presidency, when dispatching the complaints against the head of the Executive Power, must carefully weigh the institutional legal and political aspects involved. However, the timing of this decision, by its very nature, is not subject to any kind of law or normal regime, ”he wrote.
Maia on impeachment requests: “Patience and balance to tackle the most important thing”
Maia stated that Law 1,079 of 1950, which deals with liability crimes, and the Chamber’s statutes do not establish a deadline to analyze impeachment requests.
According to him, the norm contained in article 218 of the House Rules does not leave doubts about the competence of the President of the House to receive or not the denunciation for a crime of responsibility, but does not establish a “determined term”.
The lawyers also asked the Court to order President Jair Bolsonaro to take a series of measures amid the coronavirus pandemic.
They want, for example, that the president is prevented from promoting and participating in agglomerations and that he is forced to deliver a copy of the tests he has carried out to detect the disease. According to Bolsonaro, the two tests he underwent were negative.
