The President (PT) and ended the legislative semester in conflict and with a list of accounts hit from August, when deputies and senators return from the recess.
The last day of House Effective Work and, on Wednesday (16), gathered several elements of this tension, with inflamed speeches to microphones, cash voting and accusations aside during the session that invaded the dawn on Thursday (17).
,,, and other themes were part of the menu that inflamed the week and which will certainly have reflection from next month.
The Lula 3 government relationship with Congress was never peaceful, in view of the minority presence of the left, which was causing defeats to the Planalto Palace.
Recently, however, the Government has gathered a reaction after evaluating it had positively repercussions on presidential popularity, with Congress as one of the targets. The, then gave the petista legitimacy to try to resume the nationalist speech from the hands of Bolsonarism.
Lula’s first direct measure confrontation with Congress was to resort to the (Supreme Court) against, a vote that in the Chamber had support from the leftists PDT and PSB, with an elastic score – 383 votes to 98.
On Wednesday, STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes, central to the minister’s plan (farm) in the sense of balance of public accounts.
Moraes’s decision was a motto for Bolsonarists who participated in a House vote to emphatically press the House President, (-PB), to adopt a reaction, claiming that the lack of response would cause the complete demoralization of Congress.
At the same moment, the news of another offensive of Lula was contrary to the interests of the congressmen ,.
The decision of the president was made without prior information to Motta and the president of the Senate, (-AP), evaluators of the project. The attitude of the petista was read by parliamentarians such as the change of the defeat applied in the IOF vote, but published in Motta’s profile in X (former Twitter).
Congress may overthrow Lula’s veto in the return of recess, but now the public burden will be responsible for, if he seeks to maintain the increase in the number of deputies, put the digital on a agenda that will need the support of at least half of congressmen. .
It was up to the Minister of Institutional Relations, (PT), inform Motta about the veto, after receiving confirmation of the office of the president. In the conversation, the minister said she had an opinion on the so -called tacit sanction – when the executive does not speak, leaving promulgation by the legislature – but Lula opted for the veto.
It was the Senate government leader, Jaques Wagner (PT-BA), who gave the news to alcohumbre. Lula’s stance has been seen as proof that he did not forgive the fact that Motta announced by social networks the decision to bring to the agenda of the IOF decree.
In the evaluation of allies of Lula and even Motta, not to inform him, the president responds to what was considered as discourting of the deputy.
As soon as the news of the veto came public, Motta left the plenary of the House and went to the Senate to meet with alcohumbre. Neither talked about the content of the meeting nor did he publicly comment on Lula’s decisions. Although on both sides there are “firefighters” that bet on the 15 days of parliamentary recess as a possible boiling reducer, the moods between the parliamentarians at night and dawn were conflagration.
A first answer came from the same session in which the deputy was pressured to act. The House approved on Wednesday night. The score, once again, was loose, 346 to 93.
Already at dawn on Thursday was the turn of the deputies approving, classified by the left as the “PL of devastation”. .
In both topics, Lula can use the weapon he adopted in the case of the increase in the number of deputies, the veto. Which foreshadows more conflicts ahead. There are also those who bet on judicialization, with the executive betting on the Supreme Court to impose defeats on parliamentarians.
The Senate the conclusion of a vote that until then was considered quiet, the DA, as the judicial debts of the Government are called, another topic of great interest of the Planalto.
Lula the difficulties he faces in the legislature.
“It is necessary for the PT to wonder why the PT is able to elect a president 5 times, Lula and Dilma, and only made 70 federal deputies. We think that our speech is the real, but is the people understanding us, understanding us? Because a strategy for us to approve everything we want is to put more people in the National Congress,” said at the opening of the Union of UNE (National Students).
Congressmen say Lula’s actions aim at the 2026 elections and a possible reaction from opponents, including parties that make up the government, can continue in voting that impact the petista’s reelection plans.
Not only on economic topics, but in the so -called “usual guidelines”, a theme that the right has dominated in Congress and that the government has not had victories.
