The President of the INSS Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI), Senator Carlos Viana from Podemos-MG, faced intense scrutiny as he denied allegations of procedural manipulation regarding the approval of a request to breach the bank and tax secrecy of Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, commonly known as Lulinha. Tensions escalated during the session when government supporters protested against the vote results, leading to chaos as lawmakers crowded the presidential table. Viana insisted he recount the votes to affirm the legitimacy of the decision, stating that the procedural requirements were met.

The discussion took a serious turn with opposition members, notably Deputy Paulo Pimenta from PT-RS, claiming the process was irregular and unconstitutional, calling for the annulment of the vote. Pimenta characterized the events as a severe violation of democratic principles, underscoring the contentious nature of the session. The uproar led to a temporary suspension of the meeting and the broadcasting of the session on TV Câmara, revealing the high-stakes political conflict surrounding the investigation into the president’s family.

The approval of the request to breach Lulinha's confidentiality could have significant implications, not just for him but for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration as a whole. With the political landscape already polarized, this incident showcases the ongoing tensions between government officials and opposition members, and raises concerns about the integrity of legislative processes. As the situation develops, it will likely continue to be a focal point in Brazilian politics, with potential ripple effects on public perception and governmental authority.
