The president of, (-PB), said on Friday (4) that does not defend a “untouchable” congress and that it is also necessary to discuss cuts in the value of parliamentary amendments as part of the “collaboration” of the legislature.
“Just as we are here advocating tax benefits, we have to discuss amendments cut, waste cuts, public money spending by the executive. Everyone has to make their contribution. I don’t defend an untouchable congress, I don’t advocate untouchable parliamentary amendments,” he told CNN.
During the interview, the mayor said Alexandre de Moraes on the (financial operations tax) represented the “common sense victory”. The deputy added that there is no break with the government and that.
“It does not represent a break with the government, it does not represent a break with the economic team. It is just a decision of Parliament, of not agreeing to increase more taxes,” he said.
Asked about the massive criticism suffered by him and congress on social networks in recent days from the left, Motta said “attacks are from politics,” but some consider they are “slightly below the waist.”
The mayor said he was calm with Lula’s that increased IOF’s rates. According to him, the movement “was built with great wisdom” not to send a response to the government, but to block the rise of taxes.
Motta said the house is willing to sit at the table, seek options, find what has political viability to, along with the federal government, present a solution.
He also said he will discuss with party leaders and listen to the productive sector to put “several alternatives” at the meeting, marked by Moraes to July 15.
“This conciliation hearing will produce, at least what depends on us, a good result in favor of the country,” said the deputy.
During the interview, Motta defended the review of tax exemptions as an alternative to the increase in IOF. The mayor said the benefits have grown disproportionately and that Congress sees as “positive” the Lula government’s intention to advance in this agenda.
“We will close this year with R $ 800 billion tax exemptions in Brazil. These benefits are completely out of what is rational for what the country supports,” said the deputy, for whom it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness and size of each exemption.
The mayor also stressed the approval of federal government measures on the same day as IOF’s overthrow – as the signed license and for drivers and application delivery.
Motta also assured that there will be the approval of the exemption from IR (Income Tax) for those who earn up to R $ 5,000, proposed by Lula. It was also said in favor of tax justice, a flag that the government has raised tightly since the setback in Congress.
