The government leader in the Senate, Jaques Wagner (PT-BA), praised the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), for the decision to return the most important sections of the provisional measure that limited the compensation of PIS/Cofins credits . He said that the decision “has the applause” of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and that it interrupts “what would be an endless tragedy”.
“Your Excellency (Rodrigo Pacheco), you ended up finding a solution that I can guarantee you, it has the applause of the President of the Republic, my applause, regardless of whether I think it is the best thing or not”, said Wagner to Pacheco during the Senate session this Tuesday, the 11th.
“Record here the role of the President of the Republic, who yesterday called him for a first dialogue with the Minister of Finance, expressed that he was not comfortable. And your excellency had the ability to find a way, which is nothing more than the legal and constitutional one, to stop what would be an endless tragedy”, added the government leader.
Pacheco’s decision, despite Wagner’s public praise, represents a setback for Palácio do Planalto in the specific case of the change in PIS/Cofins compensation. The government will now have to look for a new source of revenue to cover the tax waiver with the payroll tax relief.
