Brazil Chamber of Deputies elects Maia as speaker

February 2, 2017 by

In another victory for Brazilian President Michel Temer, the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies on Thursday elected administration ally Rodrigo Maia as speaker for a two-year term. Maia served a brief term as interim speaker in 2016. Maia received 293 votes in the 513-member Chamber against five other candidates. On Wednesday, the Senate elected pro administration Senator Eunício Oliveira as its presiding officer, also for a two-year term. Both men have expressed favorable views regarding Temer’s legislative agenda, which includes major reforms in areas such social security, labor and taxes.
