The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), placed on the agenda of next week’s plenary session the forecast for voting on the bill with constitutional urgency that establishes the end of the 6×1 scale. The agenda was published this Friday, the 12th.
According to Motta, the bill will have the same text as the proposed amendment to the Constitution (PEC).
The president of the Chamber appointed deputy Leo Prates (Republicanos-BA) to be the project’s rapporteur. Prates had also been the rapporteur of the proposed amendment to the Constitution (PEC) with the same theme.
“We will maintain the same text as PEC 6×1, approved on 27/5 by the Chamber of Deputies, now under analysis by the Senate”, he wrote on the social network
The decision represents a maneuver against the government’s tactic of keeping the Chamber’s agenda locked. Deputies had already approved the PEC in May, however, the Senate has not yet moved forward with the matter. According to government leaders, the expectation is that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) will settle accounts with the President of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), in the coming days.
To put pressure on Alcolumbre, the government then decided to maintain constitutional urgency over a bill with similar content that had been sent in parallel. Urgency is a government instrument that determines a period of 45 days for the Chamber to vote on the text. The deadline ended on May 30, so the deputies spent the week with the agenda locked.
To allies, Motta pointed out that the Chamber was penalized for a problem that occurs between the government and the Senate. The deputy also reserved the role of negotiating with the Palácio do Planalto for the senators and signaled that he does not see himself as having the role of intervening in this dialogue.
According to the president of the Chamber, the fuel PLP was not voted on due to the agenda being blocked. The strike also affected the progress of artificial intelligence regulation in Brazil.
With the decision to base the project on the same text as the PEC, the Chamber goes back on its prediction that the project would serve to regulate the amendment to the Constitution. Previously, the agreement with the government and deputies was to wait for the approval of the PEC and then use the bill for regulation.
