“And second, respect for agenda power. Obviously, the agenda power is deliberated and the one who exercises the executive power is indicated because we are in a presidential system, ”he said.
“It was so in the previous government of President Bolsonaro, it was like that from Michel Temer’s government, it was like this in President Dilma’s previous governments, it was like this in the government of Fernando Henrique, the Lula 2 government, because it is a feature Intrinsic of presidentialism, ”concluded Randolfe.
Challenges of the next Senate President
Marinho mentions that among the upcoming alcohumbre challenges in the Senate, if elected, is the expectation of respect for what he called the “principle of proportionality”.
“May we especially respect the principle of proportionality, that is, the occupation of spaces in the face of the size, importance and relevance of our benches,” said the PL parliamentarian, who has 14 senators.
Randolfe, in turn, says he believes that Alcolumbre will be elected with a “record vote” and has direct participation in the construction that is being done with the federal government.
“The senator participated in the government’s composition dialogue early on. It is even his, it is to him who we have much to thank, the participation for the approval of the Constitutional Amendment Proposal (PEC) of the transition. Then, by the time of these two years, at all important moments that it was necessary to approve the reforms we have already approved in the National Congress, ”he said.
