Senator Marcos Rogério (PL-RO), vice-president of the collegiate and who would lead the CCJ session this Monday (9) said that he could not even open the meeting because he did not have enough senators.
He explained that he was already in the collegiate room minutes before the start of the session, called for 4 pm, and waited for 11 minutes. When asked if he didn’t consider the waiting time too short, he said no. “If the government was concerned about tax reform, it had to be present,” he said.
He also ruled out that the low quorum was related to s.
Marcos Rogério also said that it is possible to build understanding when reading the report, but that he, personally, would prefer not to vote for this text in the drowning vote.
The initial plan was for the text to be read this Monday so that senators could make a collective request for a view. The debate would then resume on Wednesday the 11th, when the text could be voted on. With this setback, the tax process this week is somewhat compromised.
The CCJ meeting was scheduled for 4 pm. Only senators Efraim Filho (União-PB, alternate), Rogério Carvalho (PT-SE, incumbent), Augusta Brigo (PT-CE, incumbent), Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI, incumbent), Esperidião Amin (PP- SC, incumbent), Mecias de Jesus (Republicanos-RR, incumbent) and Hamilton Mourão (Republicanos-RS, alternate), in addition to Paulo Paim (PT-RS), who is not a member of the commission. Not even Braga had arrived at the location in time. The president of the collegiate is Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP).
