Senator Marcelo Castro (MDB-PI), rapporteur of, says that there are no votes necessary to approve the proposal, ten days of the deadline imposed by the (Supreme Federal Court).
If the project is not considered until the 30th, the redistribution of the chairs will be made by the (Superior Electoral Court). Castro says that today there are no 41 votes necessary to approve the measure.
“Until Tuesday [dia 17]we had about 30 and a few votes. I’m working, convincing the senators. Many were in the opposite position, but I am convinced. I am also mobilizing the deputies who would lose chairs so that they also trigger the senators of their states, “he says to the panel.
According to him, the mayor, (-PB), asked the president of the Senate, (-AP), to approve the measure. The forecast is that it be taken to.
“There is no problem with St. John’s celebrations, everyone will be able to vote remotely. I will be in Brasilia on Monday to start counting the votes,” he says.
Castro acknowledges that the measure has faced resistance among senators, but says that Congress must be dealt with.
“What is the great complaint of the legislature today? That the judiciary would be invading the competences of Congress. If we do not approve the bill, we will be delivering to the court to do this. We will omit ourselves once again and let the Supreme do? We have to vote and take responsibility.”
Initially, the proposal caused some states to lose and others won chairs -which generated resistance from deputies. Paraíba countertops would be reduced (which would have 2 less parliamentarians), Rio de Janeiro (4), Bahia (2), Piauí (2), Rio Grande do Sul (2), Alagoas (1) and Pernambuco (1).
the bill increases the number of deputies from 513 to 531, as well as redistributing the chairs between the states. The goal is to adapt the proportion according to the 2022 census, without it leading to the reduction of some state benches.
The Constitution determines that the representation in the Chamber must be proportional to the population of each state. But the constituents defined a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 70 deputies per unit of the federation.
The number of chairs per state, however, is not changed since December 1993, the year in which the last redesign of vacancies in the house occurred from the approval of a complementary law. There was no update of the size of the benches from the 2000 and 2010 census data.
“We are correcting a mistake that was supposed to have been made in 1993 and was not done,” says Marcelo Castro.
The annual impact of the measure that is waiting to be appreciated by the senators is R $ 64.6 million – it would be absorbed by the current budget of the House, at no additional cost, according to the rapporteur of the proposal in the Chamber.
This is one of the points that have been raised by senators contrary to the measure. There is an assessment that at a time and when the cutting of expenses is discussed, approving this measure could wear the image of Congress with society. , for example, showed that 76% of Brazilians are against federal from 513 to 531.
