Deputy Zé Trovão declared that he and other Bolsonaro supporters involved in a riot at the Chamber of Deputies should receive 'a medal' for their actions during a recent ethics inquiry.
On October 10, Deputy Zé Trovão (PL-SC), a known supporter of former President Bolsonaro, stated during an ethics hearing that he and fellow Bolsonaro-aligned lawmakers who participated in a riot at the Chamber of Deputies in August 2025 deserve a 'medal' for their actions. His comments came as part of his defense in a case that may lead to a temporary suspension of his mandate and that of two other deputies, Marcel van Hattem (Novo-RS) and Marcos Pollon (PL-MS). Zé Trovão defended the actions, describing the allegations against them as entirely unjustified and claiming that actions taken by the group were legitimate acts of representation for their constituents.
