A lunch meeting on Tuesday was scheduled for the bench to discuss the issue after two weeks of parliamentary recess. Group members expected the action strategy to be drawn there, with any reactions to taxation and collection to the Lula government (PT) for measures for the affected sectors.
With the arrest of Bolsonaro, decreed on Monday night (4) by the minister, (Supreme Federal Court), the summit of the Parliamentary Front of Agriculture (FPA) reevaluated the meeting and decided to cancel the meeting, according to two sources. The argument is that the political environment of Congress would be stressed and that the legislature would be paralyzed with the protests.
The advisory of the bench denied that the cancellation occurred to prioritize the demonstrations in favor of the former president and stated that the meeting did not occur for lack of quorum. “The parliamentarians had a schedule in the House and could not attend,” he said in a statement.
The opposition made a press conference and protest in front of Congress on Tuesday morning to collect amnesty to Bolsonaro and the revocation of the former president’s arrest. Much of the ruralist bench participated in this protest.
The president of FPA, Deputy Pedro Lupion (PP-PR), was one of those who was present in the act. He has argued that forgiveness to the former president with the United States, in exchange for withdrawal of taxation.
Trump’s tariff against Brazil aims to annul the annulment of the lawsuit against Bolsonaro, with his son, the deputy (PL-SP), advocating in favor of sanctions in the United States. The US president also questions Brazil’s relationship with Russia and China and the regulation of big techs.

Some items have been left out, which will reduce this number, but other sectors have not escaped and ask for measures to help the survival of companies.
