Pay
Against the bill, for “the idea”
Misogyny
A signature, a vote, a line
PL 896/2023, by Senator Ana Paula Lobato (PSB-MA), adds misogyny to Brazil’s anti-racism law. The CCJ approved it with a final ruling, and Flávio was one of 11 signatories of the appeal that took the bill to the floor instead of straight to the Chamber[1].
The appeal is allowed by Senate rules, and Flávio voted yes on the floor[2]. Four days later, he called the text “subjective”, said he opposes it and that he voted yes because the Chamber can still change or shelve it[3].
Track record
Three out of 306
In 24 years of public life, Flávio signed 306 bills and motions; 3 deal with protecting women. His office replied that protecting victims of violence was always among his main causes[7].
On October 25, the record is what counts.
