The priority given to Centrão and PT parties highlights a scenario that is the target of criticism from party congressmen who form the Lula government’s base of support in Congress. Members of PSB, Network and PSOL, for example, say they are scanning by the Planalto, which already has the vote of the congressmen of these subtitles.
The main objective of this spill of money is to try to save the (farm) decree that increases the IOF (Tax on Financial Operations).
The House approved on Monday (16.JUN) the urgent application to (project of legislative decree) 314 of 2025, which revokes the measure. Now the proposal can be voted in the plenary at any time. Planalto tries to reverse the game and avoid a defeat in the final vote, which should be held only in July.
So far, only 1.5% of the total reserved for the year has been committed, between individual amendments, commission and bench. The amount paid was even lower than that: only 0.01%.
The pace has accelerated in recent days, but is still slow. Deputies and senators complain about the delay. They are concerned about having something to show in early 2026 in their electoral strongholds.
If the House decides that the proposal is not sufficient and vote for ending IOF’s discharge, the government will have the president of the Senate, (União Brasil-AP), to make a containment barrier in the Senate. But allies of the president of the house claim that it is difficult for him to hold the project if the dissatisfaction lies.

Commitment x Payment
The phase of commitment It is different from payment.
O commitment It is the 1st stage of the execution of public expense. It is when the government formalizes that it will reserve a portion of the money available in the budget for the bill proposed by a deputy or senator.
After the commitment, the value is, in fact, reserved. It acts as an authority insurance that the payment will be made. With this, the service indicated by an amendment can be contracted – in the expectation that the payment will indeed occur at some point.
After the commitment comes the stage of liquidation –When the government recognizes that the contracted service was delivered – and lastly the payment itself, with the liberation of the money in the account of those who performed the service.
