The Lula () government has doubled, in just one day, the amount of parliamentary amendments to the budget released, but the measure is seen as insufficient to prevent it from overthrowing it on Wednesday (25) OO IOF (Tax on Financial Operations).

Until Monday, the government had committed (reserved resources) R $ 897.7 million in parliamentary amendments, which rose to R $ 1.72 billion on Tuesday, according to SIOP (Integrated Planning and Budget System). The amount of funds has practically doubled in a single day.

The release is part of the government’s strategy to reduce the dissatisfaction of deputies and senators with the low volume of budget resources performed by determination of parliamentarians this year. The delay has caused protests within the allied base parties and threats to government projects.

In addition to committing about R $ 835 million in one day, the SRI (Secretariat of Institutional Relations) has sought to reduce this irritation by arguing that the release is than in previous years, if considered the deadline since the budget sanction, which.

According to SRI, within 50 business days after the budget sanction, 0.61% of the total of amendments was committed by 2023, 0.35% by 2024 and 1.78% in 2025.

“Even with the difference in the sanction dates and the validity of Complementary Law 210/2024, the rhythm of the execution of amendments is being faster,” Sri said in a statement on Tuesday (24).

The volume, however, will not be sufficient for the government to avoid defeat in the Legislative Decree project aimed at suseting the act of the government that raised the IOF for financial and exchange rates, say party -based party leaders of President Lula (PT).

SRI expected to calm the climate in the House plenary with the execution of the amendments, but said it would have more time and that the subject of IOF would only return the discussions in 15 days, after the June festivities and the event of Minister Gilmar Mendes, of the Supreme Court (STF) in Lisbon.

The mayor, (-PB), however, changed the agenda already published this week to include the IOF project, without giving further explanation. The change surprised the government, which, but already accounting for defeat in the House for certain.

The urgent request to accelerate the project that overturns the IOF decree of 346 votes favorable to 97 against. At the time, the parties, even government allies, have also spoken out in favor of suspending the discharge of tax and would not have to retreat from this vote.

PSD and MDB, for example, who are two of the main parties of the base, with three ministries each, warned the Planalto Palace that would guide their benches to vote in favor of the overthrow of the decree, if the subject came into the agenda.

The release of resources also does not immediately improve the climate for discussion of the rise of tax (provisional measure), presented along with the IOF decree, to increase the collection and avoid the need for new spending blockages.

This MP proposes, among other proposals, to increase taxes on bets, fintechs and exempt investments used by agribusiness and real estate sector to finance. Leaders warn that the text reaches many interests at once and that there will be difficulty approving, but governors have considered that they will have almost four months to build an opinion that can be voted.

On the other hand, they highlight party leaders, acceleration in the pace of parliamentary amendments can give the government breath to other matters, such as approving the provisional measure that expands the possibilities of using the resources of the pre-salt social fund and the proposal of private payable credit, named by the government of “worker credit”, both based for analysis by the House on Wednesday.
