According to Canal Solar revealed exclusively that federal deputy Lafayette de Andrada (Republicanos-MG) was elected to preside over a permanent committee in the Chamber.
Previously considered for the Finance and Taxation Committee (CFT), which ended up going to the PT quota in the redesign, the Minas Gerais parliamentarian was placed in charge of Economic Development (CDE). Despite being assigned as president, he was kept on as an alternate member of the CME (Mines and Energy Committee), where he has served since 2021.
It is not customary for a deputy who heads one of the 30 permanent committees to accumulate functions in others, even so that the 513 parliamentarians can move between spaces. However, Lafayette's identification with the sector, which reacted to the possibility of him leaving the CME, played a role.
A articulation was revealed by the Canal Solar after Lafayette's participation in the 8th National Conference of the Brazilian Association of PCHs and CHGs (Abrapch), in Brasília, on Tuesday (18). He was praised as one of the greatest contributors to the electricity sector in the National Congress.
At the time, he expressed distrust regarding the progress of a possible reform of the electricity sector under the current government. “This process would take more than a year of debate, and next year is an election year, so I don’t think it will happen under this government (Lula),” he said.
Also like the Canal Solar anticipated, the CME will be chaired by federal deputy Diego Andrade (PSD-MG). He is from the same party and state as the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, which indicates an alignment to advance agendas of interest to the government in the collegiate.
