No PT deputy signs request for CPI on theft of retirees' money

The proposal to set up a Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) to investigate the alleged misappropriation of funds intended for INSS retirees has gained momentum in recent days, but none of the federal deputies from the Workers' Party (PT) signed the request.

The silence of the PT party drew attention in Congress, especially after reports of irregularities in contracts with banks and payroll loan companies. The CPI was organized by opposition members of parliament, who accuse the government of failing to act in the face of fraud that affected thousands of retirees.

According to the author of the request, the CPI seeks to "clarify how billions of reais disappeared from the accounts of Social Security beneficiaries, without any effective response from the responsible agencies."

Critics point out that the lack of support from the PT may indicate an attempt at political protection, since the investigation may involve federal agencies and contracts under government supervision.

The party, in turn, has not yet officially commented on the reason for the lack of signatures from its members of parliament.

The CPI proposal needs at least 171 signatures to be installed. So far, more than 140 have already been confirmed, with the expectation of reaching the necessary number in the coming days.
