By announcing on Monday that she would abstain from voting on the State Budget for 2021, the unregistered deputy Cristina Rodrigues guaranteed the approval of the document in the specialty. The former PAN parliamentarian thus returned to the center of news, where she has been on several occasions in her short political life.
María Cristina Pacheco Rodrigues, 35, with a law degree, was elected deputy in last year’s legislative elections for the Setúbal district, “stealing” a place that the CDS used to guarantee.
During the electoral campaign he gained prominence after an interview that gave a podcast that I had questions from voters and members of other candidates. Cristina Rodrigues choked on several electoral issues wanted by the PAN and, when asked what the party’s proposal for the minimum wage was, she ended up saying that she did not know, because she had not read the PAN electoral program. Then he ended up justifying himself, assuming he preferred to be honest.
But before, at the end of 2018, his name had already jumped in the news today also for undeserved reasons. A TVI report released the Animal Intervention and Rescue group (IRA). In some cases, their animal rescue practices (which according to the IRA were victims of abuse) were not the best: the members of the group acted masked and even used violence.
TVI revealed that the group had connections with the PAN and gave as an example the fact that the chief of staff of the then only deputy and party leader, André Silva, belonged to the IRA. The chief of staff was Cristina Rodrigues. The PAN denied ties to the group and said that Cristina Rodrigues only “provided legal clarifications to this association individually.”
In June of this year, the parliamentarian and member of the PAN’s national political commission announced that she was leaving the party and that she would become an unregistered deputy. And he did it to rage, accusing the PAN of wanting to silence him and condition his “ability to work.”
Earlier this month, Cistina Rodrigues also caused some controversy when she presented in Parliament a proposal to reform the Labor Code that sought to extend the absence regime for family assistance to pets and for the right to mourn her death.
