That version, described as “nonsense” by the ruling party, has been defended above all by deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro, one of the three sons of the former president who works in politics and who may become a member of the commission.
Although the Government initially opposed the establishment of this parliamentary group, due to the “political noise” it can generate, it came to support it last week, when some videos were released that led to the resignation of the security minister of the Presidency, Marco Gonçalves Dias.
In the images, the now ex-minister appears inside the Presidential Palace in the middle of the invasion, together with other members of the security, in an attitude that could suggest a certain complacency and even kindness with the coup plotters.
The commission will be made up of 16 senators and 16 deputies, and its composition will be defined based on the representativeness of the parliamentary groups, in which the Government has a majority.
On this basis, the ruling party aspires to exercise the two key positions in the commission. It is the presidency, which guides the course of the investigation, and the instruction of the process, in charge of a parliamentarian who will be responsible for the final report.
These charges are also essential to decide the order of those summoned to testify, which may include politicians closely linked to Bolsonaro, some arrested for the events of January.
