Overview

• The Chamber’s Ethics Council scheduled the formal opening on October 7 of disciplinary proceedings against Marcos Pollon (PL‑MS), Marcel van Hattem (Novo‑RS) and Zé Trovão (PL‑SC).
• The Mesa Diretora seeks suspensions tied to the August action: Pollon faces 90 days for attacks on the Chamber presidency plus 30 days for obstructing the chair, while Van Hattem and Zé Trovão each face 30 days for obstruction.
• Once the processes are opened, the Council will draw triplicate lists to select rapporteurs under rules that bar choices from the same state, party or federation as the accused or the complainant.
• The cases arise from a 30‑plus‑hour occupation on August 5–6 that halted plenary work to protest Jair Bolsonaro’s house arrest, criticize STF minister Alexandre de Moraes and press for an amnesty bill and an end to foro privilegiado.
• In parallel, the Council will hear witnesses in the case against André Janones, who is serving a three‑month suspension and remains afastado until October 12; the corregedor also recommended written censure for additional deputies including Bia Kicis, Carlos Jordy and Nikolas Ferreira.
