PSOL asks the Public Ministry to investigate the dismissal of a civil servant from the Tarcísio administration who criticized Flávio

Federal deputy Luciene Cavalcante (PSOL-SP), state deputy Carlos Giannazi and councilor Celso Giannazi, also from PSOL, filed this Friday (30) a representation with the Public Ministry of São Paulo asking for the investigation of the dismissal of the disabled civil servant Silvana Pereira Gimenes under the Tarcísio de Freitas (Republican) administration.

A servant for 41 years, Gimenes was the coordinator of Program Development at the State Secretariat for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and was dismissed in an act published in the Official Gazette on October 28th. Gimenes remains a public servant.

Her dismissal occurred after she criticized Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) on social media for calling President Lula (PT) "nine fingers", during the TV Globo debate. The speech is classified as ableist.

In representation, parliamentarians point out the possibility of political retaliation, misuse of purpose and violation of the rights of people with disabilities.

The document, addressed to the Public and Social Heritage Public Prosecutor's Offices, targets Tarcísio and the state secretary for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Marcos da Costa.

The Tarcísio administration denies any relationship between the criticisms made by the civil servant and Flávio, an ally of the governor. To Uol, the Government of SP said that the dismissal was the result of administrative adjustments.

In the representation, the psolists ask for clarification on the "administrative adjustments" alleged by the government, such as their nature, the date on which they were planned and the existence of other dismissals or changes in the structure of the department in the same period.

They also require the identification of the public agents responsible for determining and formalizing the dismissal and, if irregularities are found, the adoption of appropriate administrative and judicial measures.
