The author of one of the projects on the end of the 6×1 work schedule, deputy Reginaldo Lopes (PT-MG), told CNN this Tuesday (7) that “everything is moving forward” so that the proposal can be processed in Congress as a PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution).
Speech by the deputy leader of the president’s government Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) in the Chamber occurs after interlocutors from the Palácio do Planalto denied that of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), that the government gave up sending its own bill as a matter of urgency.
In a press conference, the president of the Chamber stated that the decision was signaled by the government leader, deputy José Guimarães (PT-CE). According to interlocutors close to President Lula, there was no type of signaling in this regard and Motta’s speech was poorly received in Planalto.
“The bill has an entire calendar. President Hugo Motta has reaffirmed that during worker’s week he approves the admissibility and also the creation of the special commission. The processing of the constitutional amendment has more political agreements for its vote. The emergency PL would depend on the agenda of the Chamber of Deputies. We will monitor whether or not the government will send the PL”, said Reginaldo Lopes.
According to Reginaldo Lopes, the “situation” of the agreement signed in December 2025 is different from the scenario in April this year. At the time, the government decided that both Lopes’ project and the text proposed by the deputy Erika Hilton (Psol-SP), would be used as the basis for a PL sent urgently – which blocks the Chamber’s agenda if it is not voted on within 45 days.
“At that moment, in the palace, we agreed on several actions. There would be the creation of the special commission and the government was preparing an urgent project. But after the president of the Chamber appointed a rapporteur [deputado Paulo Azi (União Brasil-BA)]I believe there can be common sense and a better political agreement”, declared the deputy.
Lopes also stated that continuing the agenda through a constitutional amendment makes the issue “broader”, as it “changes the country’s charter, which makes setbacks difficult”.
