CPI das Remocoes (Parliamentary Eviction Investigation) update

Today, in "head, meet desk" news:

The vote in the Camara Municipal last week in favor of a judicial investigation (CPI) into the legality of mega-event-related forced removals has been overturned. Why? Because apparently, five of the city council members rescinded their signatures from the CPI petition, on the grounds that they "did not read it".

Undocumented reading disabilities, or clientelism? You be the judge.
