Early years and education

[edit | edit source]

The son of Ervino Bohn Gass and Olga Bohn Gass, Bohn Gass was born in the municipality of Santo Cristo, in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, in 1962.[5][7] He majored in Social Studies and minored in History at the Northwest Regional University of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (pt) (UNIJUÍ).[4]

He was president of the Santo Cristo Rural Workers' Union for two terms, the first between 1986 and 1989 and the second between 1992 and 1995.[5][8][9] In 2008 she took a postgraduate course in Social Management at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).[4]

Politics

[edit | edit source]

He joined the Workers' Party (PT) after starting his political activism in the student movement and in the Pastoral da Juventude, a Catholic social organization.[5] In 1994 (pt) and ran for state representative in Rio Grande do Sul.[10] Gass was unsuccessful after receiving 17,155 votes.[11] After two years, he ran for the position of councilor in the city of Santo Cristo, and was elected after receiving 901 votes.[12] He received the most votes in the election.[12]

In 1998 (pt), he was elected to the state legislature of Rio Grande do Sul after winning 30,282 votes.[13] In 2002 (pt), he was re-elected to the position of state deputy and Gass was the second most voted PT deputy in the election, behind Raul Pont.[14] In this election, the PT doubled its number of seats in the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Sul (ALRS), from 6 seats to 12.[15] He won his third mandate, in 2006, after receiving 43,770 votes.[16]

After three terms as a state representative, he ran for federal deputy for Rio Grande do Sul in 2010.[17] With the PT's Tarso Genro elected governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Gass was elected federal deputy for the first time in 2010, after receiving more than 90,000 votes.[18][19] In his first term in the Chamber of Deputies, he initially aligned with the ruralist caucus in an early vote on the Brazilian Forest Code but later diverged from them.[20][21] He opposed a bill that did not allocate 100% of oil royalties to education drawn up by Congressman Carlos Zarattini, also from the PT.[22]

In 2011, he voted against the proposal to raise the minimum wage to R$ 600, instead supporting the Dilma government's proposal of R$ 545.[23] He also voted in favor of the expropriation of properties where forced labor was found, redistributing them for agrarian reform or social housing programs.[24] Additionally, he voted against the mandatory budget allocation constitutional amendment.[25]

In the 2014 election, the PT unsuccessfully tried to re-elect Tarso to the state government, while Bohn Gass was re-elected as a federal deputy.[26][27] During his second term in the Chamber of Deputies, he voted against PL 4330, which allowed broader outsourcing in the labor market.[28] He supported Provisional Measures 664 and 665, which were part of Dilma Rousseff’s fiscal adjustment plan, tightening rules for survivor pensions and Unemployment insurance (pt).[29] He opposed the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and voted in favor of the removal of Eduardo Cunha (PMDB) from office.[30][31]

He also opposed removing Petrobras obligation to participate in all pre-salt oil exploration blocks and voted against the spending cap constitutional amendment.[32] He rejected the high school education reform and opposed the labor reform of 2017.[33][34] However, in the second round of voting, he supported recognizing vaquejada (a traditional rodeo-style event) as a cultural practice.

Additionally, he voted against the criminal charges filed by the Prosecutor General’s Office against then-President Michel Temer, and voted against the federal intervention in public security in Rio de Janeiro in 2018.[35][36]

In the 2018 state elections (pt), the PT had Miguel Rossetto as its gubernatorial candidate (he didn't make it to the second round – for the first time since the 1990 election (pt)), while Bohn Gass was re-elected as a federal deputy for a third term.[37][38] In his third term in the chamber, voted against Provisional Measure 867 (which, according to environmentalists, would change the Forest Code by giving amnesty to deforesters[39]); in favor of criminalizing those responsible for dam collapses;[40] against the Pension Reform PEC and in favor of excluding teachers from its rules;[41] in favor of increasing the party funding (pt);[40] against the suspension of the mandate of Congressman Wilson Santiago, accused of corruption;[42] in favor of the anti-crime package drawn up by Sergio Moro,[43] against the autonomy of the Central Bank;[44] in favor of maintaining the imprisonment of deputy Daniel Silveira;[45] against the privatization of Eletrobras.[46]

In 2021, he became the party's leader in the Chamber of Deputies, replacing Enio Verri.[47][48] As party leader, he put together an impeachment petition that was dubbed the 'super petition' against Jair Bolsonaro, as it unified 123 petitions made during his government into a single petition.[49][50][51] The document was presented to the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira, and contained 23 crimes of responsibility with 45 signatories, including politicians, social movements and civil society organizations.[52][53]

While the PT launched the name of Edegar Pretto for governor of Rio Grande do Sul, in 2022, failing to advance to the second round, Gass was elected to his fourth term in Brasília.[54][55] The largest caucus elected in the state in the election was the PT with six seats.[56][57] During his time in office, he voted in favor of the tax reform (pt)[58] and in favor of Pé-de-Meia (pt).[59]
