Overview
- During a Nov. 5 Chamber session, Gilson Marques (Novo-SC) and Duda Salabert (PDT-MG) clashed during debate on a climate-education bill.
- Novo sought to remove the phrase “climate justice” from the text, arguing it would give the Education Ministry authority to shape classroom content.
- Salabert defended keeping the wording and described Novo as “bolsonarismo de sapatênis” during her floor remarks.
- Marques defended his footwear, criticized Salabert’s “aesthetic choices,” and later claimed on social media he was a victim of “sapatênisfobia.”
- Salabert later said her phrase was an ironic metaphor rather than a jab at shoe wearers, and there were no reports of sanctions or a final decision on the bill’s wording.
