This Wednesday, Chega dismissed the preliminary report of the TAP commission of inquiry as a “message to the government” and announced that he would propose “deep structural changes” while urging the PS to show “remorse.”
President Chega announced that the parliamentary group will propose “profound structural changes in this report that are capable of identifying the perpetrators, creating a narrative of facts as they arise and, above all, that is in accordance with the law and that expresses what has been said and analyzed in commission of inquiry.”
“We still believe, despite the embarrassment, the farce, the lack of shame that this reveals, that PS may have a shiver of conscience that we appeal to it not to turn out this way for the country, because I think it’s embarrassing for all of us,” defended Andre Ventura, who spoke to reporters after the press conference to present a preliminary version of the report, authored by PS MP Ana Paula Bernardo.
The Chega leader criticized the fact that the report absolves the government of responsibility for awarding compensation to former Secretary of State Alexandra Reis and cited the findings as pointing to the “two main culprits” of the TAP incident, former Prime Minister Pedro Passos. Coelho and former CEO of TAP.
Ventura lamented that “the report fails to see the responsibility of Pedro Nuno Santos in awarding compensation to Alexandra Reis or Hugo Mendez, or the responsibility of João Galamba in the Ministry of Infrastructure episode, or the responsibility of successive PS governors for, for example, the process that led to destruction of investments in Brazil or deterioration of the company’s net worth, but you can see that the privatization of Pedro Passos Coelho was rushed, completed at the wrong time and was not carried out well. “.
“This was a bespoke, this is a government commissioned report that should embarrass the PS,” he said, adding that the report “was written by the government and sent yesterday to the PS parliamentary group.” [terça-feira] at night”.
President Chegi also said that the document was “a message to the government in such a large, clear and obvious form” that it “embarrasses the parliament.”
“The President of the Assembly of the Republic should read this report and convey to the PS that this is not a joke and not a government communication channel,” he defended, citing that the report of the parliamentary commission of inquiry “should express what was discussed there, the conclusions, that were done there, and the analyzes that were done, albeit not always consistent, and that was what the country was expecting.”
André Ventura also stated that the report “grossly violates the Parliamentary Inquiry Law” and expected it not to be “confirmed by any political force except PS”.
The preliminary report of the parliamentary committee of inquiry into the political protection of the TAP leadership, authored by PS MP Ana Paula Bernardo, was presented on Tuesday around midnight and presented at a press conference this Wednesday.
Until July 10, the parties may submit proposals for changing this preliminary version. Discussion and voting on the report in the parliamentary commission of inquiry is scheduled for July 13, and its consideration at the plenary session – for July 19.
The Preliminary Report states that “there are no significant situations indicative of the practice of interference of the guardianship authorities in the day-to-day management of the company” and that “the majority of evidence indicates the absence of interference or political interference from the guardianship and guardianship authorities.” guardianship in the current management of the company.
“CPI [comissão parlamentar de inquérito] found that there was no evidence that TAP’s shareholder, the Treasury, was aware of Alexandra Reis’ exit process,” he said.
The 180-page document does not analyze the incidents that took place on the premises of the Ministry of Infrastructure with Frederico Pinheiro, nor the government’s use of information services to recover a computer seized by former Deputy Minister Joao Galamba.
