Simone Tebet, candidate for the Senate from São Paulo for the PSB and former minister in the Lula government, defended investigations "regardless of who is affected" in the Supreme Federal Court during a debate held on Wednesday (9) on Band. Tebet stated that Brazil is going through the greatest institutional crisis in its history and that it is necessary to investigate without distinction.
The debate featured other Senate candidates, including André do Prado (PL), Marina Silva (Rede), Guilherme Derrite (PP), Ricardo Salles (Novo), Geraldo Rufino (Pode), and Soninha Francine (Cidadania). In the first block of the debate, Tebet chose Derrite to ask a question about women's health, a theme that has been featured in the candidate's campaign ads.
Tebet declared that São Paulo, like the rest of the country, faces three major problems: public security, health, and corruption. According to her, the problem of corruption is endemic in the state and in Brazil, and needs to be confronted.
The candidate also commented on the need for investigation in the STF, stating that "if the Supreme Court does nothing, the Senate must act." She defended that investigations should take place regardless of who is affected, emphasizing the importance of facing the institutional crisis the country is going through.
