The purpose of the
meeting, considered informal by allies, was to discuss the political crisis
triggered after the newspaper “O Globo” revealed that the owner of the JBS
group recorded with the president a conversation accepted by the Federal Public
Ministry in the process in which he requested the opening of an investigation
against Temer.
According to the
government leader in the Chamber of Deputies, Aguinaldo Ribeiro (PP-PB), Temer
asked that the Legislature to continue working in its "normality".
According to Aguinaldo, the president again was outraged by the accusations and
expressed confidence that he will "overcome the moment".
Ministers
"The biggest
response we can make is related to the measures that are positive for the
country." All the parties at the base were reaffirming support for Temer,
when there was no leader, there was the president or a minister representing
the party, "he said. Also, stating that those present externalized their
"commitment to the country."
Ministers Eliseu
Padilha (Civil House), Moreira Franco (General Secretariat of the Presidency),
Henrique Meirelles (Finance), Helder Barbalho (National Integration), Ronaldo
Nogueira (Labor), Gilberto Kassab (Science, Technology, Innovations and
Communications) and Raul Jungmann (Defense) participated in the meeting.
Senate President Eunice
Oliveira (PMDB) arrived at the Alvorada Palace around 8 pm, as did the
government leader in Congress, André Moura (PSC-SE). According to Moura, the
fact that the Planalto initially scheduled a party dinner with party leaders
was not a drawback.
"It was a meeting
like the others, which have taken place since Wednesday. At the right time, we
will convene the basis for a formal meeting," he said, without informing
the date.
PSDB
Representatives of the
first step of the PSDB were also in the Alvorada Palace, despite some threats
that the party would leave the base of the government: Antonio Imbassahy
(Secretary of Government), Aloysio Nunes (Itamaraty) and Bruno Araújo (Cities).
Senator Tasso Jereissati (PSDB-CE), the new national caption chairman, also
attended the meeting.
Earlier, senators and
deputies Toucan canceled a meeting with only members of the legend that was
scheduled for the afternoon. After the denunciations, the senator Aécio Neves
(MG) was removed from the mandate and the presidency of the party.
Although PSB has
decided to break with the government and defend direct elections for the
presidency, the minister of Mines and Energy, Fernando Coelho Filho, who is
affiliated with the legend, was reunited with Temer and the other colleagues.
According to reports by parliamentarians who participated in the conversation,
DEM national president, senator José Agripino Maia (RN), also attended the
Dawn.

Senate leader Romero
Jucá (PMDB-RR) also attended the meeting, as did the national president of the
PP, Senator Ciro Nogueira (PI), Senator Rose de Freitas (PMDB-ES) and a few
congressmen . The Speaker mayor, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), who was with Temer in
the morning at the Jaburu Palace, was not at Alvorada.
On Wednesday (17), the
newspaper O Globo published a report according to which, in an audio recording
by Joesley Batista, President Michel Temer would have agreed to maintain a good
relationship with the former president of the former Speaker of House, Eduardo
Cunha .
The contents of the
recording, which has been questioned by the Planalto Palace, was disclosed by
the Federal Supreme Court. Indicated to solve a problem of JBS, at the request
of Temer, Deputy Rodrigo Rocha Loures (PMDB-PR) would have been filmed
receiving R $ 500 thousand. Batista and his brother, Wesley Batista, were
awarded the award by STF Minister Edson Fachin, Operation Car Wash rapporteur
for the court, on Thursday.

On Wednesday last
week (May 17th), reports that President Michel Temer was recorded giving his endorsement
to the pay-off of a top politician for his silence shook the political
establishment in the South American country.
Yesterday that
Deputy Aguinaldo Ribeiro (PP-PB), leader of the government in the House, told a
state news agency that President Temer asked that the Legislative Power continue working in its “normality”.
According to
Ribeiro, the president again was outraged by the accusations and expressed
confidence that he will “overcome the moment”. “The biggest response we can
make is with the measures that are positive for the country. All the parties at
the base were reaffirming support for Temer,” Ribeiro said.
The leader in
congress, André Moura (PSC-SE), said the informal Sunday gathering was, “[…] a
meeting like the others that have taken place since Wednesday. At the right
time, we will convene the basis for a formal meeting,” he said, without
informing the date.
Earlier on
Saturday (May 20th), the Federal Supreme Tribunal (STF) minister Edson Fachin
decided to send the audio allegedly of Joesley Batista and President Michel
Temer to the Federal Police (PF) for expert analysis, at the request of the
president’s defense team.
In an address to
the nation, Temer questioned the legality of the recording and said there are
many contradictions in Joesley Batista’s testimony, such as the information
that the president would have endorsed the pay-off for the silence of the ex-Deputy Eduardo Cunha, who is imprisoned in Curitiba.
Meanwhile, despite
the bad weather in some cities, demonstrators protested against the government and ask for
direct elections in several states across the country. Government news reported
in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Recife protests had little turnout Sunday
morning. In Porto Alegre, the protest was canceled due to heavy rain.
In São Paulo, the
AP reported several hundred people huddled under umbrellas and building awnings
to avoid the rain as they called for Temer to leave office. Many said they have
opposed Temer since he took over from Rousseff because they regard her impeachment as politically motivated and illegitimate.
“It is funny
because we have always said that they rob,” Ana Borguin, a 28-year-old subway
worker told the news agency. “But in fact now we have a concrete proof and the
worst thing is that they do it openly and talks about millions as if they were
talking about a grocery shopping.”
Testimony given by
JBS President, Joesley Batista, to federal prosecutors, states that Batista met
with President Temer in March and that Brazil’s leader suggested that the CEO
continue to render a ‘monthly allowance’ to former Chamber of Deputies
President, Eduardo Cunha, for his silence.
Batista is said to
have recorded the meeting with the President. According to daily O Globo,
Batista told Temer that an allowance was paid to Cunha so that he would not
enter a plea-bargaining deal with prosecutors, to which the President allegedly
responded, “You have to continue this [payment], ok?”

Quatro dias após as primeiras informações da
delação do empresário Joesley Batista, o presidente Michel Temer reuniu-se na
noite deste domingo (21), no Palácio Alvorada, com ministros e líderes do
governo no Congresso Nacional.

O objetivo da reunião, considerada informal por
aliados, foi discutir a crise política deflagrada depois que o jornal O
Globo revelou que o dono do grupo JBS gravou com o presidente uma conversa
aceita pelo Ministério Público Federal no processo em que pediu a abertura de
inquérito contra Temer.
De acordo com o líder do governo na Câmara dos
Deputados, Aguinaldo Ribeiro (PP-PB), Temer pediu que o Poder Legislativo
continue trabalhando na sua "normalidade". Segundo Aguinaldo, o
presidente novamente se mostrou indignado com as denúncias e manifestou
confiança de que vai "superar o momento".
Ministros
"A grande resposta que podemos dar é com as
medidas que são positivas para o país. Todos os partidos da base estiveram
reafirmando apoio a Temer. Quando não estava o líder, estava o presidente ou um
ministro representando o partido", afirmou, acrescentando que os presentes
externalizaram seu "compromisso com o país".
Os ministros Eliseu Padilha (Casa Civil), Moreira
Franco (Secretaria-Geral da Presidência), Henrique Meirelles (Fazenda), Helder
Barbalho (Integração Nacional), Ronaldo Nogueira (Trabalho), Gilberto Kassab
(Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovações e Comunicações) e Raul Jungmann (Defesa)
participaram do encontro.
O presidente do Senado, Eunício Oliveira (PMDB),
chegou ao Palácio da Alvorada por volta de 20h, assim como o líder do governo
no Congresso, André Moura (PSC-SE). Segundo Moura, o fato de o Planalto ter
agendado inicialmente um jantar com lideranças partidárias não foi um recuo.
"Tratou-se de uma reunião como as demais, que
têm ocorrido desde quarta-feira. No momento certo, vamos convocar a base para
uma reunião formal", afirmou, sem informar a data.
PSDB
Representantes do primeiro escalão do PSDB também
estiveram no Palácio da Alvorada, apesar de algumas ameaças de que o partido
deixaria a base do governo: Antonio Imbassahy (Secretaria de Governo), Aloysio
Nunes (Itamaraty) e Bruno Araújo (Cidades). O senador Tasso Jereissati
(PSDB-CE), novo presidente nacional da legenda, também participou da reunião.
Mais cedo, senadores e deputados tucanos cancelaram
um encontro apenas com integrantes da legenda que estava marcado para a tarde.
Após as denúncias, o senador Aécio Neves (MG) foi afastado do mandato e da presidência
do partido.
Embora o PSB tenha decidido romper com o governo e defender eleições
diretas para a Presidência , o ministro de Minas e Energia, Fernando Coelho
Filho, que é filiado à legenda, esteve reunido com Temer e os demais colegas.
De acordo com relato de parlamentares que participaram da conversa, o
presidente nacional do DEM, senador José Agripino Maia (RN), também
esteve no Alvorada.
Gravação
O líder do governo no Senado, senador Romero Jucá
(PMDB-RR), também participou da reunião, assim como o presidente nacional do
PP, senador Ciro Nogueira (PI), a senadora Rose de Freitas (PMDB-ES) e alguns
deputados peemedebistas. O presidente da Câmara, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), que
esteve com Temer pela manhã, no Palácio do Jaburu, não esteve no Alvorada.
Na quarta-feira (17), o jornal O Globo
publicou reportagem, segundo a qual, em encontro gravado em áudio por Joesley
Batista, o presidente Michel Temer teria concordado que se mantivesse uma boa
relação com o ex-presidente da Câmara,Eduardo Cunha.
O conteúdo da gravação, que tem sido questionado
pelo Palácio do Planalto, foi divulgado pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal. Indicado para solucionar um
problema da JBS, a pedido de Temer, o deputado Rodrigo Rocha Loures (PMDB-PR)
teria sido filmado recebendo R$ 500 mil. A delação premiada de Batista e de seu
irmão, Wesley Batista, foi homologada nesta quinta-feira (18) pelo ministro do
STF Edson Fachin, relator da Operação Lava Jato na Corte.
