Milton Antônio Casquel Monti (June 11, 1961) is a Brazilian economist and politician affiliated with the Social Democratic Party (PSD).[1][2][3] He served as a federal deputy for São Paulo for five terms.[4][5][6]

Biography

First years and education

Milton was born in the town of São Manuel, in the interior of São Paulo, in 1961.[4][7][8] In Botucatu, a city neighboring São Manuel, he earned a degree in economics from the Integrated Colleges of Botucatu (Unifac).[1][9]

Politics

While studying economics in Botucatu and running an accounting firm, Milton ran for mayor of São Manuel in 1982.[10] A member of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB), at the age of 21, he was elected after receiving 5421 votes, becoming the youngest mayor ever elected in Brazil up to that point.[11][12] He served as mayor of the city until 1988.[1]

During the administration of Luiz Antônio Fleury Filho as governor of São Paulo, Milton served as state secretary of Labor Relations from 1992 to 1994.[13][14] He was elected to the São Paulo State Legislature in 1990, securing a seat in the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo (Alesp).[15] In 1994, he was reelected to the position, where he went on to become the PMDB's leader in the assembly.[1][15]

In 1998, he ran for federal deputy from São Paulo and was elected after receiving more than 95,000 votes.[16] In 2002, he was re-elected to the position after receiving more than 130,000 votes.[17] After his reelection, he left the PMDB and joined the Liberal Party (PL).[18] In 2006, as a member of the Republican Party (PR), he was elected to a new term in Brasília.[19] In October 2008, he placed life-size cardboard cutouts bearing his likeness throughout the Chamber's plenary hall, each bearing the slogan “Milton Monti for President: You’re in Charge,” and in December he officially announced his candidacy for the presidency of the Chamber.[20][21] Shortly thereafter, under pressure from his party, he was forced to withdraw his candidacy in order to support that of Michel Temer (PMDB).[22][23]

In 2010, he was re-elected to the position.[24] In 2014, he was elected to a fifth term in Brasília.[25] During his fifth term, he voted in favor of the impeachment proceedings against Dilma Rousseff.[26] During Michel Temer's administration, he voted in favor of the constitutional amendment establishing a public spending cap.[27] In April 2017, he supported the Labor Reform.[28] In August 2017, he voted against the motion calling for an investigation into then-President Michel Temer, helping to dismiss the complaint filed by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office.[29][30] In the session on October 25, 2017, the congressman once again voted against continuing the investigation of then-President Michel Temer, who was accused of obstruction of justice and criminal conspiracy.[31][32] The result of the vote spared Michel Temer from an investigation by the Supreme Federal Court (STF).[33]

In 2018, he ran again for the office of Federal Deputy, receiving 55,125 votes but failing to win reelection.[34][35] Following President Jair Bolsonaro’s joining the Liberal Party (PL), Monti announced his resignation from the party.[36] At the time, Monti stated that “the party is heading in the direction of a far-right party, and I am a centrist.”[37][38] Subsequently, Monti joined the Social Democratic Party (PSD), with his membership form signed by Gilberto Kassab.[39][40][41] In 2022, he ran for office under the new party's banner but was not elected.[42][43] In the 2022 presidential election, he expressed support for the ticket consisting of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Geraldo Alckmin (PSB).[38] He has served as Barueri's Secretary of Health since 2023.[7]
