Brazilian congressman Glauber Braga (PSOL-RJ) has begun a hunger strike to protest the advancement of his cassation process. He is receiving daily visits from volunteer doctors who will monitor his health.
Medical examinations are scheduled for him, following an initial checkup on the second day where his blood pressure was found to be normal. To minimize stress, he has chosen to refrain from giving interviews and will have others speak on his behalf.
His 3-year-old son visited him on the second day of his hunger strike, and periodic visits are planned.
Glauber Braga has been sleeping on the floor and consuming only isotonic drinks and water.
His wife, fellow congresswoman Sâmia Bomfim (PSOL-SP), was not initially informed of the hunger strike, and would have tried to dissuade him.
Em greve de fome como protesto ao avanço do processo pela sua cassação, Glauber Braga (PSOL-RJ) vai receber visitas diárias de médicos voluntários, que vão se revezar para acompanhá-lo, e deve passar por exames nesta sexta-feira, terceiro dia de jejum.
O deputado já foi examinado ontem e apresentava boas condições de saúde, com a pressão arterial normal. O parlamentar, no entanto, decidiu evitar entrevistas para diminuir o desgaste e delegou que interlocutores respondam por ele.
Glauber também vai receber visitas periódicas do filho de 3 anos, que já esteve com o pai nesta quinta-feira.
O deputado chegou a dormir no chão e tem ingerido apenas isotônico e água.
A ideia da greve de fome não foi compartilhada nem com a esposa, a também deputada Sâmia Bomfim (PSOL-SP). Ela tentaria dissuadi-lo.
