Without definition from Alcolumbre, the leadership of the CPI of INSS threatens to appeal to the STF to extend it
Senator Carlos Viana announces plans to file a constitutional mandate with Brazil's Supreme Court if Senate President Davi Alcolumbre fails to schedule a meeting on the extension of the CPI of INSS.
Senator Carlos Viana, president of the CPI (Parliamentary Inquiry Commission) of INSS (National Institute of Social Security), has stated that he will file a constitutional mandate with Brazil's Supreme Court next week if Senate President Davi Alcolumbre does not address the request for extension of the commission. Viana has communicated to the Senate that a sufficient number of parliamentarians have backed the request, fulfilling the necessary regulations for its renewal. He urges the Senate to proceed with the formalities to extend the CPI's operational timeframe as requested.
In his correspondence to the Senate on the 23rd, Viana expressed frustration over his lack of communication with Alcolumbre, stating that the Senate President has avoided contact for a month and is figuratively evading him. This statement highlights the political tensions surrounding the CPI, which is tasked with investigating irregularities within the INSS. The implication of failure to extend the commission could hinder the progress of the investigation and leave significant issues unresolved.
The CPI is expected to present its final report on March 23rd, with the conclusion anticipated by March 28th. The urgency in Viana's actions reflects the critical nature of the findings that the commission is supposed to deliver, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the INSS and the potential consequences that may arise from delaying the CPI's operations.
