Brasília - The present of the Chamber of Deputies Ethics Council, Ricardo Izar (PTB-SP), postponed until tomorrow (21) the opening of the disciplinary process calling for the mandate of the president of the Chamber, Severino Cavalcanti (PP-PE), to be revoked, on account of corruption.

The motion was filed with the Council last week by five opposition parties. "We shall have to wait until Wednesday morning, given the possibility of the president's resignation. In which case, there will be no need for us to initiate the process," the president of the Council contends.
