Solidarity launches Eduardo Velloso as a candidate for the Senate for Acre

"Certainly, one of the biggest pains for the population here is still health. My main agenda, yes, is health. But we also have to see the development of our State through infrastructure. First, our BRs, the connection with the Pacific, the reformulation of forestry cutting, all of this has to be discussed by the Senate. Our population cannot live in a rich place where the population is poor. This is our main development agenda", he highlighted.

He took office on February 1, 2023. Before that, still in 2022, he temporarily assumed a seat in the Federal Senate as Senator Márcio Bittar's first substitute, during a period of leave. On the occasion, he highlighted issues focused on public health and the state's regional demands. In December 2023, Velloso took a leave of absence for 120 days to deal with a private interest, returning to parliamentary activities in April 2024. This year, he was identified as the main target of Operation Graco, launched by the Federal Police (PF) and the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), which investigates suspicions of misappropriation of public resources resulting from parliamentary amendments. To g1, the deputy's advisor said in a note that 'the allocation of the amendment strictly followed the legal procedures provided for in current legislation'. Before this, the parliamentarian's name appeared in an episode of great repercussion in Acre: the case of Maicline Borges, a young woman who died in January 2019 after a collision between jet skis on the Acre River, in Rio Branco.
