“Shouts do not frighten me. The episode, unfortunately, shows that backward sexism still resists women who take relevant positions in Brazilian politics. I will continue the dialogue with Congress with dialogue, serenity and, above all, transparency”, said the minister to journalist Ricardo Noblat. The minister commands the secretariat, which has the status of a ministry and takes care of articulations of interest to the Planalto Palace.

Note of repudiation

The governor of Amazonas, Wilson Lima (PSC), said through social networks and repudiated the attack by Senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM) on the minister of the Government Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, Flavia Arruda, during a phone call. Screaming and directing bad language, Braga complained after having parliamentary amendments denied by the Planalto Palace.

According to Wilson Lima, the people of the Amazon does not condone this kind of behavior. “My solidarity to the chief minister of the Secretary of Government of Brazil, Flavia Arruda, who was assaulted by a senator known for his arrogance and brutality. As I told her over the phone, the people of Amazonas repudiate this kind of behavior. Here, that time is over”, he reported.

Attack on another woman

The leader of the MDB is already known behind the scenes in politics for his strong personality and for always confronting women in a rude way. Eduardo Braga would have mistreated an employee who was taking documents to him during a live broadcast, on a social network, in May this year. According to the images, the politician was on a phone call, and asked the employee to show the first part of the document and, when he realized that the girl did not know what it was about, he got angry with her.

Return

Even after the repercussion of the issue involving Eduardo Braga, CENARIUM requested to the senator’s staff a position regarding the phone call to Flávia Arruda, as well as questions about the amendments that Braga would be referring to in the phone call, but, until the publication of this article, there was no return from Eduardo’s staff.

Women’s Bench

“For this reason, the Women’s Secretariat, representing the Women’s Caucus of the House of Representatives, regrets the position of that parliamentarian who in flagrant breach of decorum, and in a vile way, used inappropriate words towards an authority of the highest echelon of the Executive Branch, while expressing full support and solidarity to the minister Flávia Arruda, repudiating, thus, the statements of Senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM)”, said the secretariat in a statement.
