Proposal provides for a reduction in pensions and an end to secret sessions. Since, in June 2013, millions of people took to the streets in demonstrations, a text that would be a supposed initiative proposal popular circulates on the internet. It's 2020 and we're going to talk about one of the versions, which mentions a person who would have the name “Cotrim Bolsonaro”. According to the message, Cotrim Bolsonaro would have delivered the PEC with 2.5 million signatures and the “snake would smoke”. In the text of the proposal there would be plans for the end of secret sessions in Congress and retirements specials.

Don't accommodate! There's no point in just complaining!!! It doesn't hurt to pass it on!!! Supported! ## Congressional reform PEC with 2.5 million signatures is delivered by Cotrim Bolsonaro? Of course, with a fair bit of sharing requests, the story would circulate a lot on the internet. But could it really be that Cotrim Bolsonaro delivered a PEC with 2.5 million signatures? The answer is no. Calm down, we explain everything to you. In reality, this story has been circulating on the internet for a long time. Firstly, only the text appeared. It was in 2018 that the “Cotrim Bolsonaro” version he appeared. As what we said at the time is valid today, remember what was written: First, let's talk about the content (maybe you're here mostly because of this than I do because of our friend Cotrim). He doesn't proceed. It is about fake news already denied by Boatos.org on two occasions (here and here). It's the same with the argument, check out what we wrote and we'll get back to it. talk about the “Bolsonaros”. It seems quite confusing, but in short, the text above states that this current is to support a proposal to change the Federal Constitution created by the people. Despite the agenda – the reform of Congress – being extremely necessary, what people have been passing on is misinformation. One PEC (proposed amendment to the Constitution) is never a popular initiative. Confused? It's actually quite simple. For there to be any minimal change in the Brazilian Constitution, it is necessary that the Senate, the Chamber of Deputies, the President of the Republic or 1/3 of the legislative assemblies of the States suggested a PEC. And then, only after a lengthy process, with analyzes in Congress committees and 1st and 2nd round votes are enacted (effectively if for good) change. Here you can see the step-by-step process of a PEC. The fact is that the idea of ​​the Congressional Reform Act gained a lot of traction with the popular demonstrations that took to the streets of the country in 2013. This idea was spread across the web in the form of a petition to speed up the creation of the PEC to carry out this political reform. However, not much progress has been made on the topic, why members of Congress are unlikely to vote on a reform that affects them thus, ‘in the can’. At least, almost no one shows signs of it. In any case, the content of this message, which they so insistently want be passed on, it is just the text of the online petition that was created in 2013. Probably, many people entered this chain due to lack of knowledge about Brazilian bureaucracy. We have a few more things to add about the text. Beyond everything that was described above, there are still contradictory data (such as the number of signatures which appears as 2.5 billion in words and 2.5 million in numerals), incorrect (like saying that a PEC is a “Project Amendment to the Constitution” when, in truth, it is a “Proposed Amendment to the Constitution) and the fact that there is nothing in Congress circulating in this direction (and even if the package were proposed, would hardly go forward). That said, let's get to our character. Since the PEC is non-existent, we can eliminate the hypothesis that it was handed over to Congress (either by Cotrim or Jair Bolsonaro). This thesis was also not endorsed by the president-elect. There is no any post from him on the subject (and we probably won't have any). Leftover just “Cotrim”. When searching for anyone with that name on the internet, we found nothing. No there is Cotrim in the “Bolsonaro clan”. The most we found was a candidate for the senate in Bahia with that name that declared support for Bolsonaro in the elections. However, it is likely that he did not give such great support to the point of “change the name”. We are left with two plausible hypotheses: 1) A person called (or with the surname) Cotrim put the WhatsApp nickname with Bolsonaro, shared the message, it was copied and went viral. 2) The name was invented and “grafted” in the message. Either way, it's fake news. In short: whether in 2013, 2018 or 2020, the story that indicates that a guy called Cotrim Bolsonaro delivered a PEC with 2.5 million signatures in Congress is fake. This text is a current that emerged during political protests and never became a bill. Update: at the end of the rumor text there is a woman's signature. In email sent to Boatos.org, she (who is a teacher) clarified that it had nothing to do with with the creation of the text or even endorses the misinformation contained in the article.
