The author of feat was the president of the Chamber of Deputies, the radialist and economist Eduardo Cunha, who is known for his conservative and traditionalist view of Brazilian society. He's political disciple of Anthony Garotinho (former governor of Rio de Janeiro accused of corruption) and of the former President Fernando Collor (sole to be impeached in the history of Brazil).
