Overview
- The Chamber’s Ethics Council, which voted Tuesday, imposed two-month suspensions on Marcel van Hattem, Marcos Pollon, and Zé Trovão for occupying the floor in August 2025 during a push to amnesty those convicted over January 8.
- Lawmakers said the tally was 15–4, with support for punishment coming from PT, PSOL, and 11 Centrão members, highlighting cross-bloc backing beyond the left-right divide.
- Right-wing allies denounced the decision as persecution, as Senator Eduardo Girão attacked Chamber president Hugo Motta and Deputy Sóstenes Cavalcante berated Motta during the council session.
- O Globo reported that Partido Novo had filed a broad decorum complaint in November against the entire PSOL bench and PT leader Lindbergh Farias, yet later argued for case-by-case review when its own deputy was among those punished.
- The clash is already shaping 2026 alliance talk, with Novo’s Luiz Lima warning that Centrão parties could prove unreliable partners for Flávio Bolsonaro and others seeking a stable ticket.
