The proposal of amendment to the Constitution is sponsored by leaders of the centrão. In a meeting on Tuesday (16), at the Planalto Palace, this is not a matter of interest to the government, but of Congress. Because it is PEC, it will not be subjected to the approval of the President of the Republic.
According to a conversation participant on the subject, the minister was asked what the position of the. She would have responded that the decision will be made by the party and that the government will not interfere with the process.
Petist leaders told the report that the party is against the approval of PEC. In their assessment, it is an unpopular theme, at a time when the government gives signs of management recovery, as well as disrupting the processing of articles that are considered priority, such as the exemption of IR (Income Tax) for those who earn up to R $ 5,000.
A minister of the centrão says, under reserve, that without the support of the acronym, the difficulty of approving the text increases, as a PEC needs votes of three fifths of deputies (ie 308) in two voting shifts. The PT has 67 deputies.
Lula’s ministers, however, fear a rematch of Centrão congressmen if PEC is not approved. They recognize that these parliamentarians can create difficulties for government proposals. In the words of a group leader, the so -called low clergy (deputies without great national expression), can use the vote of these articles to give political messages of dissatisfaction to the executive.
the PEC that will be discussed on Tuesday provides that president of political parties will have a special forum and that voting to decree arrest of parliamentarians will be secret – or it is possible to know how each deputy voted.
In addition, if the proposal is approved, federal and senators may only be prosecuted criminally by the (Federal Supreme Court) if there is ahead of colleagues, which will also occur in a secret vote.

At the meeting, Gleisi again said that the executive is against the approval of this subject and asked for commitment to the ministers with the party benches to stop the advance of the urgent request.
She also indicated that ministers with positions in the House should license from the Esplanade to vote against if her alternate is favorable to the granting of the amnesty.
to discuss strategies that rule out the approval of amnesty in Congress. The meeting took place, warn party leaders who will guide the project to urgently.
Ministers should take stock of their vote. A new meeting is expected to take place on Wednesday to balance the score in the House.
At the meeting, ministers said that containing amnesty is not easy, given the pressure that parliamentarians suffer from their electoral bases to vote on a project like this. Therefore, one of the alternatives would be the incentive to the absence of parliamentarians so that they do not have the burden of rejecting the proposal.
In addition to being against the approval of the amnesty, the government also fears that this discussion disrupts other voting of interest to the Planalto, such as, considered the main article of an electoral package sent by the government to Congress.
