The House of Representatives will create a working group to discuss an administrative reform, abandoned and stopped measure in recent years, and present its own proposal on the subject.
A group of parliamentarians and businessmen began a movement to try to resurrect a proposal that modernizes the so -called “state HR” and presenting a text by the end of 2026. President Lula’s (PT) government, on the other hand, is against the discussion of a new proposal in Congress. Sought, the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) and the Special Secretariat of Communication of the Presidency have not yet spoken.
The creation of the working group was announced to an audience of entrepreneurs in Brasilia on Tuesday, 25, during an event organized by business associations linked to trade, such as the National Confederation of Commerce (CNC), and the ranking of politicians.
There is no date yet to submit a proposal, but the decision has already been taken by the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), according to the vice president of the house, Altineu Côrtes (PL-RJ). “I believe we have an important time to move forward with administrative reform,” said Altineu, speaking on behalf of Motta and confirm the creation of the working group.
The government of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) even sent an Administrative Reform Constitution Amendment Proposal in 2020, but the text was shelved. The project ended the stability for most servers in the future, sparing current civil servants.
Now, the intention is to draft a proposal within the National Congress. The Lula Government (PT) does not support a reform of this size and has so far opted for specific measures to update the federal public service. Minister of Management and Innovation in Public Services, Esther Dweck, defended several times a “continuous” reform, not support for a PEC, preserving stability.

“My mission in these near two years of office is at least to deliver in the hands of the National Congress a text that is worthy. We do not want to discuss or turn yesterday’s food, we want to do something new and palatable to the productive sector, the National Congress and the Executive Power,” said Deputy Zé Trovão (PL-SC), climbed to coordinate the working group. “We will do something so special that even the one who has no desire to make Brazil walk forward will want to approve.”
Timing
In Congress, there are those who admit that a reform is difficult to advance at this time, due to the lack of support from the Lula Government (PT) and the movement of public servants to preserve the current conditions of hiring and stability in the machine.

“I do not believe (in support of the Executive). I do not believe in almost anything of this current government,” said Senator and President of the PP, Ciro Nogueira (PI), by expressing support for the reform but at the same time disbelief with the advancement of the subject.
Reform advocates, however, believe it is possible to start a discussion to create a favorable environment in the future. “I don’t think it’s easy, but I don’t think it’s impractical. Administrative reform is being so valued over time that it is not unlikely that at one point turns into a standard,” said former President Michel Temer when speaking during the event.
