The mayor, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), said at the beginning of this Thursday 1, that the government will have to “walk with its legs” from now on, after the approval of the interim measure (MP) which restructures the esplanade of ministries. Palazzo Planalto risked defeat in the plenary or seeing the deputy expire in the face of a threat of “rebellion” by deputies dissatisfied with the political articulation and the timing of the amendments.
“President Lula launched an appeal in the morning (Wednesday 31st). We spent the whole day talking about it, and the Chamber, the leaders of the independent parties, which are not part of the government base, have recognized the need to give the government one more chance, so we are still far from celebrating the grassroots , because some are trying to push it through”, said Lira, before leaving the Chamber.
The deputy, approved with 337 votes in favor, 125 against and one abstention, on Wednesday evening, needs to be voted on this Thursday in the Senate in order not to lose validity. In that case, the ministerial structure of the Bolsonaro government would apply again, with 17 fewer folders.
“The government will have the possibility of returning to work, and President Lula, therefore, more effectively, of entering, together with his ministers, into a more permanent, more correct articulation, so that the government has, in matters to come, more serene days,” said Lira.
“It is important to say, to make it clear that, from now on, the government will certainly have to walk on its legs. There will be no more sacrifices by the Chamber”, added the president of the House.
Lira said it was important for the government to “become aware” that it is necessary to work to consolidate the basis for the vote on the tax reform and on the bill that resumes the tie-breaker vote in favor of the Revenue Agency in the sentences of the Council of Administration of Fiscal Resources (Carf), which analyzes the appeals of taxpayers against the sanctions imposed by the Revenue Agency.
“The government knows it, it is aware that political accommodation has not yet been done, it does not have a consolidated base and it must devote itself to this”, said Lira, praising the government group leader in the Chamber, José Guimarães (PT-CE). “The opportunity that everyone saw was to demonstrate to the government that it needs to wake up to participate more in the active life of the country with Parliament,” he corrected, referring to the risk that the deputies overthrew the deputy.
Faced with the impasse in parliament, on Tuesday 30 the government released R$ 1.7 billion in individual amendments, according to Siaf/Treasury data to which the Stadium/Broadcast had access. The value was the highest in a single day and exceeded the amount of R$ 1 billion committed on the 23rd, when the basic text of the new fiscal framework was voted by deputies.
In addition to the effort to commit resources to congressmen, Lula himself has decided to take the field to try to reverse the hostile atmosphere of the Chamber towards Congress. The petist called Lira this Wednesday morning. The deputy from Alagoas asked the President of the Republic to do more in the political articulation.
Leaders had commented throughout the day that any approval by the deputy would be “the last chance” given by the House to the president. The phone call was a first step to improve the relationship, but it will be necessary to present concrete actions now, warned the deputies, who also cited the credibility of the rapporteur of the measure, Isnaldo Bulhões (MDB-AL), as one of the factors that could help the government.
