Media focuses on the Covid CPI testimony, and the Joint Tax Reform Committee to work until tomorrow

BRAZIL POLITICS - Report 06 May 2021 by Murillo de Aragão and Cristiano Noronha

The media is focusing on two main points from former Minister Nelson Teich’s testimony in the COVID Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry (CPI) yesterday. The first is the fact that he did not have the necessary autonomy to effectively run the ministry. And the second is Bolsonaro’s insistence on pushing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19. Today, current Minister of Health, Marcelo Queiroga, and the President of Anvisa, Antônio Barra Torres, will testify in the CPI.

The vice president of the Joint Tax Reform Committee, Deputy Hildo Rocha (MDB-MA), said that despite the fact that the president of the House, Arthur Lira, ordered the closing of the Committee, it should continue working until tomorrow.
