This Thursday (7), during the commission’s first external hearing, held in Paraíba, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-BA), criticized sectors that, according to him, try to delay the processing of the PEC.

The PEC rapporteur, (Republicanos-BA), plans to vote on the opinion by May 26th and take the proposal to the Chamber plenary the following day, May 27th.
