In the Chamber, deputies must resume analysis of the proposal that reduces the criminal majority in the country. The PEC (proposed amendment to the Constitution) is the only item discussed at the CCJ on Tuesday. The government base is against the matter and should seek to block the vote. The text is defended by the opposition.
The agenda for the Chamber’s plenary has not yet been defined, but the deputies are pending the analysis of the so-called “fuels bill”. The project entered the House’s agenda last week, but was not voted on due to lack of agreement on part of the text. The proposal aims to create a fiscal solution to contain fuel prices driven by the conflict in the Middle East.
Concentrated effort
Alcolumbre announced, last week, the concentrated effort to analyze the nomination of Benedito Gonçalves to the CNJ. On May 20, . On the same day, however, the vote in the plenary was canceled by Alcolumbre, who assessed that there was not a sufficient quorum.
At the time, of the 67 senators present, only 59 registered a vote. The number was lower than that recorded in previous deliberations on authority nominations. For approval, 41 votes are needed. For this reason, the president of the Senate canceled the vote and announced, last week, the new analysis date.
“We are going to call a session of concentrated effort with the physical presence of male and female senators with a single purpose and a single reason: to vote on the last and only pending authority for deliberation with the physical presence of male and female Senators, so that we can all relieve ourselves of the deliberation of an important nomination”, announced Alcolumbre in the plenary, on Tuesday (2).
Reduction of working hours
The proposal to end the 6×1 scale – six days of work and one day of rest – should begin to be debated by senators this week, but has not yet received an order from Alcolumbre.
The president of the Senate stated that the PEC must undergo analysis in committee, but must align the process with party leaders during a meeting this week.
An alternative text, sponsored by the opposition and which determines remuneration per hour worked, has already been sent to the CCJ. How to CNN showed, the proposal on reducing working hours should have priority in the committee’s analysis, however.
Considered an electoral asset, the PEC was approved in the Chamber in the last week of May. The government is also in a hurry and considers the issue a priority. Alcolumbre, however, has already signaled that the Senate will not just act as a “stamp” House and must suggest adjustments to the text.
The president of the Senate is experiencing a tense relationship with Planalto, which has been strained since the rejection of Jorge Messias’s name for a vacancy on the STF (Supreme Federal Court).
