Over the weekend, President Jair Bolsonaro criticized the bill approved by Congress in May 2019. According to him, the text removes the government's powers over the appointment in regulatory agencies. "Do you want to leave me as Queen of England?" Asked Bolsonaro, referring to the monarch who is head of state of the United Kingdom, but does not exercise administrative functions. Parliamentarians denied that the Executive was void. Supporters of the president have launched the hashtag #ReajaBolsonaro (which can be translated by "come on, Bolsonaro, fight back).
According to a bill approved by Congress, the president will now appoint leaders from a triple list chosen by a commission. Text awaits the President's sanction.
The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Rodrigo Maia, responded by saying that Bolsonaro did not understand the bill.
Opposition senator Randolfe Rodrigues wrote that "the president should either change legal advice or read the approved bill before firing his machine gun at improprieties: he understood nothing! He will continue to appoint the directors of the regulatory agencies."
Therefore, the Bolsonaro administration continues to accumulate defeats in Congress, even after an attempt at rapprochement with politicians. The present government presents enormous difficulty in carrying out any type of political negotiation.
