The new leader of the Workers’ Party in the Chamber, deputy Pedro Uczai (SC), stated that maintaining President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s veto of the Dosimetria PL will be the bench’s first victory this year.
“The democrats of this country are invited to mobilize during Carnival to maintain the dosimetry with the veto to pedagogically give an experience that the game of democracy is between who wins and who loses”, said Uczai in a conference with journalists on Tuesday (3).
On January 8, the project that would reduce the sentences of those involved in the coup acts of January 8 and benefit those involved in the coup plot. The veto affected the entire text approved by Parliament, which changed criminal dosimetry criteria for crimes against the Democratic Rule of Law.
Opportunity with security!
After the veto, the then leader of the party in the Chamber, Lindbergh Farias, had highlighted that the objective of the government wing this year would be to support the approval of the project in the Legislative House.
Unlike what was projected by the new PT leader in the Chamber, parliamentarians’ expectations are that Lula’s veto will be overturned in the first half of the year. After the president’s decision, the legislative houses deliberate on the veto. In the Senate, for example, the project was approved by 48 votes, 41 were enough to overturn Lula’s veto on the text.
In addition to the dosimetry veto, Uvzai presented other goals of the government bench for this year. Among them, the end of the 6×1 scale will be the “central point” of the debate in the Chamber. “Do you want productivity in the country? Reduce the working day. Want health for the worker? Reduce the working day. Want quality of life? Reduce the working day”, he highlighted.

The government will also keep an eye on the public security agenda, an issue that should be explored electorally by both sides. On the issue, Uczai criticized that the government “has no problem facing public security. But it won’t be by killing 122 poor people on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.”
