The President of the Senator (-AP) filed on Monday (29) in (Supreme Federal Court) request for the Court to suspend the determination to change to those of 2026 the number of federal deputies per state. The deadline for doing this calculation ends on Wednesday (1st).
It obeys her to population changes identified by the 2022 census and, if carried out, will make some states lose and others gain chairs in the House.
The Congress had approved a bill raising the number of federal deputies from 513 to 531 with the purpose of no state losing representative, but the.
The change in the division of chairs by state was determined by the STF itself in the ado (direct action of unconstitutionality by omission) 38. The deadline for Congress to deliberate was until the end of June. Otherwise, the (Superior Electoral Court) will have to prepare the new configuration by Wednesday.
Lula vetoed the measure in July contrary to a request for his political articulation and, in particular, the desire for alcohumbre and the mayor (-PB), main guarantors of the measure.
The state of Motta, for example, can lose two vacancies.
If the TSE redefines the number of chairs, seven states will 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 win: Amazonas (2), Ceará (1), Goiás (1), Minas Gerais (1), Mato Grosso (1), Pará (4) and Santa Catarina (4).
Congress can overthrow Lula’s veto with the support of most parliamentarians, but after overthrowing due to popular pressure, there is fear among party leaders of head.
No, the evaluation of parliamentarians is that there would hardly be support for the overthrow of the veto. The PT, for example, making it less likely to overthrow the veto. The deliberation will be held on the date that I alcohubre chooses, and he has not yet indicated when it will be.
In the play filed on Monday, Alcolumbre says that the analysis of the presidential veto is a stage of the legislative process, a situation that “remains underway and is not completed”.
“Given the above, this Federal Supreme Court is required that, in view of the decision in the merits of the present direct action of unconstitutionality by omission, it is recognized that the decision of this Supreme Court with the approval of Complementary Bill No. 177, 2023, and that veto No. 20, 2025, is pending assessment by the National Congress, which may decide its maintenance or overthrow.”
The president of the Congress also asks that “to guarantee legal certainty and stability to the coming electoral process”, that the Supreme Court keeps, for the elections of 2026, the same number of vacancies by the unit of the 2022 election federation. Eventual change in the calculation, the result of the analysis or not of the veto, would only be valid for 2030.
The case is in the hands of the minister, who last week gave a dispatch notifying the Electoral Court of the arrival of October 1.
The Constitution establishes that the number of deputies must be proportional to the population, respecting the minimum limit of 8 and a maximum of 70 per unit of the Federation. The calculation is made based on the IBGE demographic census data.
