Overview
- On Monday, July 6, Tabata Amaral posted a short video listing the five most‑voted deputies from 2022 and counting how many of their authored projects became law to argue voters should check legislative records.
- Tabata said the five most‑voted deputies together had 18 projects turned into law while she counted 32 of her proposals approved under the same criteria.
- Hours later Guilherme Boulos replied on social media, called the comparison “lamentable,” defended his record by citing the Law of Solidarity Kitchens and rejected being equated with right‑wing deputies.
- Boulos also attacked Tabata’s past positions, naming her vote for Bolsonaro‑era pension reform and a proposal he says risks criminalizing criticism of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, which widened the dispute into a debate over progressive orthodoxy.
- Coverage has focused on the rhetorical clash rather than a technical review of the counts, with outlets noting limits of using only ‘projects that became law’ as a productivity metric and warning the fight could affect progressive unity and voter perception ahead of the campaign season.
