After months of impasse, Senate President David Alcolumbre (Brazil-AP Union) announced on Friday (11) that the sabbaths of the nominees for regulatory agencies, national councils and higher courts will be between 11 and 15 August.
From 4 to 8 August, by the schedule released, the Senate should read the opinion on each of those indicated in the thematic committees. The following week, the nominees should be sabbath in the commissions and vote in the plenary.
In December, the government sent the names of 17 nominees to nine regulatory agencies. Since then, other names have been sent by the Planalto Palace to the Senate, such as Carlos Brandão to the Supreme Court (Superior Court of Justice).
In recent months, Alcolumbre has had an arm wrestling with Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira (PSD), for the nominations of two agencies linked to the Ministry: Aneel (National Electric Energy Agency) and ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels).
The chosen ones for ANP, Artur Watt Neto and Pietro Sampaio Mendes, were sent to the Senate in the December package. For Aneel, the government should appoint Willamy Fleet, sponsors of Senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM), and Gentil Nogueira de Sá.
