PARLIAMENTARY CONTROL THROUGH THE SPEECHES OF DEPUTIES IN THE 55TH LEGISLATURE

Abstract

This article examines the use of formal parliamentary oversight instruments made available to parliamentarian from 1988 to 2018 and the speeches of federal deputies with a supervisory bias from February 2, 2015 to January 31, 2019 (55th Legislature). The objective is to quantify the control tools in relation to the speeches made during the Great Expedition in the Chamber of Deputies. The methodology is based on quantitative technique, especially in the comparison of totalizing variables, and qualitative, with the objective of classifying propositions and interpreting the results.  It is concluded that parliamentary control in numerical terms decreased, as well as the participation of the speeches containing expressions related to the inspection. In effect, the possibility of migrating deputies to other platforms and/or reducing the transformation of inspecting themselves through speeches. Thus, the importance of studying the typical supervisory function of the Legislative Power is emphasized, in order to understand its operation and improvements.
