At the Voting for President Dilma's Impeachment, Deputy Bolsonaro Dedicates His Vote to One of Dictatorship's Biggest Tortures

At Alvorada" Palace, Voting Period Had Reactions of Surprise, Revolt and Silence

The smiles started when the name was anounced. Not even the  the Chamber of Deputies's president,  Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), resisted. It was the release of deputy Tiririca (PR-SP) on the microphone of the House's plenary. "For my country, my vote is yes!". But Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who was watching the voting on TV, did not find it funny in any way.
"This men was with me. How could he do that? He was going to vote for us.". From one of the meeting rooms  of the "Alvorada's Palace, from where he was following the voting beside president Dilma and other alies, Lula unburdened.

Tiririca, on the other hand, denies that had any contact with the ex-president. Said his vote was favorable for the opening of the impeachment process against the ptist "it came from my heart and according to what I believe".
During the voting, Dilma's advisors tried to map the "traitors", not only between deputies of PR, but also, PP, PMDB and other political parties. Only PT and PC do P did not betray the government. You can conclude there that the "wind of the streets" weren't with the president and that plenary climate, favorable to the impeachment, was influencing deputies like Tiririca, who was ovacionated by the opposition after said "yes".
But it was not only that. Lula and Dilma allies were recognizing the risks of being made last time negotiations , in the called "wholesale", on what dissident parliamentary were called by the government or the ex-president and heard promises of space or positions in case they help to prevent the impeachment.

The main agent of that articulation, Lula talked little. He watched the voting making punctual commentaries, mainly about the betrayals.

While Dilma, according to reports, was serene, as she as conscious of the moment she was passing through.

ABSOLUT SILENCE
But the president's mien changed at the moment that Jair Bolsonaro (PSC_RJ) got near the microphone of the plenary's  Chamber.

Dilma pressed her hands into the arms of the chair she was sit and listened the deputy dedicate his vote in favor of the impeachment; "For the memory of colonel Carlos Alberto Brilhante Ustra, the horror of Dilma Rousseff".

The silence dominated the room. Dead in October 2015, Ustra was chief of DOI-Codi in Sao Paulo, an agency of political repression, and the first military condemned by teh Justice as a torturer.
Dilma stood up and, alone, walked to a corridor that goes to the exit of the room. She stopped near a bookcase. She was being watched by all her 20 guests, between ministers and governors, that were accompanying  the voting beside her. They look at each other, but no one said anything.
The president then called Ricardo Amaral, author of her authorized biography ad one of the few people with whom Dilma talked about the torture sessions with shocks and hangers she suffered while arrested, during the dictatorship, for her actions against the political regime.

She held out the book to the friend, but did not want to talk about this subject. Those 56 seconds  that rested Bolsonaro's vote moved her deeply, and was necessary some minutes for the talking to flew back again between her and her guests.

RESPONSABILITY
One of the main commentaries of the president were about the arguments that the parliamentary were using during the voting in favor of her impeachment. " They talk about God, about family, but there is no discussion an=bout the crime for responsabillity."Um dos principais comentários da presidente era sobre os argumentos dos parlamentares ao votar em favor de seu impeachment. "Falam sobre Deus, sobre a família, mas não tem discussão sobre o crime de responsabilidade".

The so called "fiscal pedaling", which could configurate the fiscal responsabillity crime by Dilma, should be the main reason of the process for her impeachment.

Tires after almost six hours in front of the TV, Dilma thanked Lula and the guests and decided to get some rest.

She was going to write her speach for this morning of monday (18) . She should be with her head cool.
