Michel Temer: No worries?

The vote favorable to the admission of the report for passive corruption presented by clerk Sergio Zveiter, must have fallen like a bucket of ice water on the back of president Michel Temer.

Considered an 'independent' inside the Partido del Movimiento Democrático Brasileño (PMDB) in power, which he joined last year, Zveiter dermolished yesterday all allegations made by Temer's defense and sustained the accusation is not inept nor fantasizing, but on the contrary, has many leads that make him responsible.

In that sense, the process that could end with the exit (temporarily at first) of Michel Temer from Planalto Palace, could not have a more counterproductive beginning for he who in previous days and during a rushing trip to the German city of Hamburg, constantly repeated he had 'zero worries'.

First he did that when questioned about statements of interim prersidernty of the Partido de la Social Democracia Brasileña (PSDB), senator Tasso Jereissati, indicating that party should abandon the government, he denied feeling uneasy.

Only that after Jereissati the also influential governor of the state of Sao Paulo, Geraldo Alckmin, insisted on disembarking the PSDB once reforms were approved (labor and pension system) being discussed in Congress.

On the other hand and according to the own political operators of Planalto, six of the seven deputies 'tucanos' that make up the Commission of Constitution and Justice where the accusation is now being evaluated- they would vote to admit it and consequently take it to court, judging the presiedent in the Supreme Federal Court.

Temer also annulled the damning possibilities for him and his government of a denunciation by Eduardo Cunha, ex leader of the lower Chamber, his inconditional ally and responsible for the impeachment process against constitutional president Dilma Rousseff.

'Zero' he said even after a recorded conversation by businessman Joesley Batista, referring to bribes paying for Cunha's silence, referring to a probable offense of obstruction of justice.

According to press reports, both Cunha and businessman Lucio Funaro, his 'tips operator', they are about to conclude denunciations that involve even more the situation of Temer.

In fact, they have already corroborated those denunciations by saying they had kept silent because they were paid to by the JBS, confirming the testimonies offered by Batista.

The so-called 'market', wrote a columnist of Folha de Sao Paulo, started to sell Temer and buying Maia, who has received visits of banking and financial agents to confirm to them he will follow the liberal platform to the letter, used by the self-defined 'decorative Vice President' to get the support of the business community.

If the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies authorizes the STF to analyze the denunciation against Temer, he will be put aside for 180 days and Maia will assume his post.

In case the president were condemned, then his replacement will carry the reins of the Executive Power for one more month and could be nominated for a possible indirect election in Congress to extend his mandate until 2018. 'And Maia, anticipated daily O Globo, would, naturally, be one of the strongest candidates'.
