The President (PT) and the Federal Supreme Court Minister made decisions on Monday (29) with the potential to please and counteract important wings.
The first concerns the imminent reorganization of the number of federal deputies by state due to the new configuration of the population measured by the census.
Project approved by Congress in June and sponsored by the mayor, (-PB), from 2027-under the number of chairs from the Chamber from 513 to 531.
Starting a confrontation phase with Congress in relation to antipopular guidelines ,. With this, the current 513 chairs would have to be redistributed until this Wednesday (1st) by the Electoral Justice.
Pressured to put Lula’s veto, the senator (-AP), president of Congress, opted for a way out of the assessment that there would be no vote to overthrow the veto a week after Congress was forced to popular pressure.
This Monday, the Court asking the Supreme Court to maintain the same number of deputies per state in the 2026 elections and that it only repalculates the chairs for the 2030 election. A few hours later, in favor of the request, which has to be ratified by the court plenary until Wednesday.
The success of the alcohumbre election was seen by deputies as a gesture to the House, who is contradicted by the fact that the house abandoned support to the armor PEC after street protests against the measure, which aimed to bar lawsuits against parliamentarians.
Fux’s decision also represents a partial victory for Motta, a politician who has been facing setbacks in recent times and has had his authority questioned in the House.
Although he saw his proposal to raise the number of deputies in 18 with the purpose that no unit of the federation loses parliamentary, he saw the maintenance of the current scenario as positive. This prevents, for example, that its state, Paraíba, loses two chairs.
Another unit of the federation that escapes the sticking is Alagoas de Arthur Lira (PP), predecessor of Motta, who would have one less vacancy.
From the census data, seven states would have fewer federal deputies in the next legislature: Alagoas (1), Bahia (2), Paraíba (2), Pernambuco (1), Piauí (2), Rio de Janeiro (4) and Rio Grande do Sul (2). Seven others would win: Amazonas (2), Ceará (1), Goiás (1), Minas Gerais (1), Mato Grosso (1), Pará (4) and Santa Catarina (4).
As he did with the case of the increase in the number of deputies, Lula also resolved in this Monday again the congress with which he flexes the Clean Record Law and.
According to parliamentarians, the decision of the petista will confront especially alcoholumbre, responsible for boosting the approval of the measure.
On the day of the vote, at the beginning of the month, the president of the Senate adopted the unusual initiative to leave the presidency of the plenary and vote in favor of the proposal.
“I make a point of this modernization, this update of the legislation of the Clean Record Law to give the spirit of the legislator when the law vote. Inelegility, it cannot be eternal. It is in the text of the law eight years, it cannot be nine or twenty. My vote is yes,” said Alcolumbre at the time.
Usually the presidents of the House and Senate do not vote for the projects under discussion.
As with the case of the increase in deputies, presidential vetoes may be overthrown in a joint session of Congress if there is the support of at least 257 deputies and 41 senators.
While Lula’s allies are looking for Congress that Congress will not sponsor at this time a new offensive in relation to potentially unpopular measures, other parliamentarians say that the opposite gesture has the potential to force the senator, so far more aligned with Lula, to accelerate and work for the overthrow of this and other vetoes.
