With Colonel Chrisostom (PL-RO) in charge of the opinion, opposition speaks of more than 300 votes; Government expected combined game
The mayor, (Republicans-PB) defined this Wednesday (25.Jun.2025) that the deputy (PL-RO) will be the rapporteur of the bill that overthrow the government that increased the IOF (Tax on Financial Operations). The leader of the PL, (PL-RJ), told the Poder360 which has agreement for the text to be voted on today and will have more than 300 votes.
The president’s government (PT) worked with the possibility that entry on the agenda would be just another Motta message to the Plateau, but, with the rapporteur’s definition, now evaluates that the vote is imminent and tries to reverse.
The PT leader in the House, Deputy (PT-RJ), summoned an interview with journalists for this morning. On the night of Tuesday (24.Jun), he said it was with the announcement of the mayor.
Placing the project on the chamber’s agenda would serve to reduce opposition resistance to provisional measures expensive to the Plateau, such as the one that alters the social background, also on the agenda. Movement would be a way of Motta pleasing government and opposition. The agreement would be to vote the entire agenda, but both will try to vote only that it interests them.
Motta the agenda on its X profile at 11:35 pm on Thursday (24.Jun). On the afternoon of Tuesday (24.Jun), the Government leader in the House (PT-CE), was at the Planalto Palace to meet with President Lula and the Minister of SRI (Secretariat of Institutional Relations), Gleisi Hoffmann. The entrance of the PDL on the agenda would have been one of the objects of the conversation.
After Motta’s announcement, the PT leader in the House, Deputy (PT-RJ), is surprised by the decision. He questioned the fact that the session that will analyze the theme is not in person: “In virtual session? This is a matter too serious for the country.”
According to the Poder360the surprise would come more for the way Motta announced the decision. The deputy was expected to take the issue to a leader meeting or something.
346 votes against the government
On June 16, the deputies approved, by 346 votes to 97, the urgent request for the PDL.
Motta had ruled the urgency after the executive published one and, not its entirety. There was dissatisfaction in Congress.
Among MP measures, the government wants to tax investments today, such as:
- LCA (Agribusiness Credit Letter);
- LCI (Real Estate Credit Letter).
No climate for MP
Congressmen of opposition to the President (PT) speak of returning the text to the government.
One of the possibilities considered to compensate for losses with the IOF decree would be to use the dividend reserves of (R $ 10.3 billion), (R $ 2.5 billion) and (R $ 16.1 billion).
Gleisi and the governors have said that if the decree is even overthrown and the MP rejected, one of the solutions would be to contingent on the amendments of the congressmen. The decision tends to further deteriorate the relationship between the government and the congress.
Impact on public accounts
The Ministry of Finance did not disclose an official estimate of how much it expected to raise the new IOF decree. Haddad has already signaled that it should be around $ 6 billion to $ 7 billion in 2025.
If there is no compensation, it means that the government will have less money to play the public machine. Will have to increase budget restrictions.
The economic team tried to sell the idea that any budgetary containment could impact the functioning of the government.
During the negotiations, they told congressmen that they could have effects on the amendments paid to deputies and senators.
