70% of Congress supports the installation of the CPI to investigate the Master case

Requests for CPIs (Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry) to be created to investigate the Master case have so far mobilized at least 423 deputies and senators, equivalent to 71.21% of the National Congress, according to a survey carried out by CNN. Parliament has 594 congressmen, 513 from the Chamber of Deputies and 81 from the Federal Senate.

In total, eight requests, already formalized, request the opening of investigations. Until May 22, 64 senators signed five requests for CPIs in the Senate or CPMIs - when a collegiate is mixed, that is, formed by deputies and senators. The number represents 79% of the current bench in the Upper House and easily exceeds the minimum necessary to open a CPI in the Senate - 27 signatures.

In the survey, CNN only counted deputies and senators who were in office on May 22. Substitutes who were no longer in office and who signed the requests were not taken into account, as well as those who signed the requests but were away for medical reasons or by court decision.

In the Chamber, the requests also have a large support. There were 359 sitting deputies who also demonstrated support for the opening of a CPI or CPMI to investigate Banco Master.

One of the first requests was made jointly by deputies Heloísa Helena (Rede-RJ) and Fernanda Melchionna (Psol-RS), asking for the installation of a CPMI that would have deputies and senators in its composition. Other requests to open joint committees were presented by deputies Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ) and Rodrigo Rollemberg (PSB-DF), and by senator Carlos Viana (PSD-MG).

Four other congressmen asked for the opening of CPIs in their respective Houses: deputies Rogério Carvalho (PT-MG) and Carlos Jordy (PL-RJ) and senators Eduardo Girão (Novo-CE) and Alessandro Vieira (MDB-AL). The latter has the most sensitive request, since, as rapporteur of the then CPI on Crime, he included ministers Dias Toffoli and Alexandre de Moraes, from the STF (Supreme Federal Court), in the scope of the investigation, due to their alleged relationship with the Master.

CNN contacted all incumbent deputies and senators to ask for their position on opening a CPI.

Requests for CPIs in the Senate and for joint investigation bodies depend on the approval of the president of Congress, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), responsible for determining the creation and installation of a parliamentary commission.

Alcolumbre, however, has reinforced that the decision on the agenda is up to him alone and even apologized for ruling out the installation of a commission, despite being charged by oppositionists and government supporters.

"Thousands of mayors in Brazil are in need of a gesture from Congress to deliberate this agenda. I ask for your understanding. I apologize to Your Excellencies for not meeting the demand requested by 11 more congressmen in this session in relation to another topic that was not previously established on the deliberation agenda", said Alcolumbre.
