The expansion of the exemption range of to up to R $ 5,000 again generated tension between Chamber and Senate and exposed the political rivalry between (PP-AL) and (MDB-AL). Lira, who acts as a rapporteur of the proposal, made harsh criticism of Renan after the senator articulate and approves the Senate Economic Affairs Commission a alternative text on the subject. On social networks, the mayor stated that the construction of the bill took place with dialogue and that it is “reprehensible that opportunists want to do politicking with the subject”, in a direct message to the political opponent in Alagoas.
Despite approval to the commission, Renan’s proposal was eventually filed in a Senate drawer and will hardly be analyzed in plenary. The dispute has a strong electoral connotation: Lira aims at a Senate spot in 2026, while Renan seeks reelection. The controversy won a new chapter on Thursday (25), when Labor Minister Luís Marinho took responsibility for Congress to approve the exemption. He criticized signs that the vote was being conditioned to the amnesty project, which he classified as “blackmail”.
“We cannot accept that the exemption of income tax is hostage to a political interest like amnesty. Congress needs to take responsibility,” said Marinho. Analysts estimate that the dispute reveals both regional rivalry between the two Alagoas chiefs and the use of the tax agenda as an electoral asset. In addition, interests linked to parliamentary amendments – especially the so -called “pix amendments”, difficult to track – have influenced negotiations in a context marked by electoral and corporate disputes.
