The definition of names is fundamental to the subtitles’ intentions regarding the agenda, even more so in an election year.
Behind the scenes of the Chamber of Deputies, the parties from the government and opposition base began to choose who will be nominated to compose the Special Committee that will be created to analyze the content of the PEC, which discusses the end of the 6×1 working day.
The definition of names is fundamental to the subtitles’ intentions in relation to the agenda, even more so in the face of a election year. But, more than that, the choice of rapporteur will be decisive in meeting the different demands of parliamentarians.
One thing is consensus in Brasília: the rapporteur will be a deputy from the Center. However, the president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta, would have already outlined a specific profile, someone who has good political experience, dialogue with different acronyms, capable of meeting the demands of workers and sectors that may be impacted by the measure. Furthermore, the search is also for a rapporteur with little media coverage to not use the discussion as a political platform.
One of the parliamentarians participating in the discussions states that the rapporteur must have the profile of “a lot of work and little media”. One of the possibilities would be the permanence of Paulo Azi, who reported the proposal to the CCJ.
One of the points that can stall discussions is the transition time for implementing the reduction in working hours and the compensations that will be offered to the productive sector.
The government base wants the approval of the PEC with immediate effect on the job market. In this way, President Lula could use the approval of the proposal in the electoral campaign as an attempt to increase his popularity and improve approval ratings. The opposition is discussing a longer transition time to give businesspeople time and protection. Furthermore, they need to offer compensations that are interesting to the sectors that will be most impacted.
This Wednesday (21), Hugo Motta said, in a post on the social network, that he intends to take the proposal “to the plenary in May” and reaffirmed that “the commitment is to move quickly, but always with great balance and responsibility”.
