The government leader in the Senate, Carlos Portinho (PL-RJ), rejects the idea of suppressing the state of emergency of the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) of social benefits, as suggested by the rapporteur of the text in the Chamber, Danilo Forte (União Brazil-CE). “State of emergency is not just a legal concept, it is an obvious, global issue. No one has any doubts about that”, declared the parliamentarian to the Political Broadcast.
Portinho emphasizes that the Senate and the Chamber are harmonious houses, but they have the autonomy to act on their projects. The state of emergency was negotiated in the Senate to shield President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) from possible problems with justice. Electoral legislation prohibits the increase of social benefits and the creation of new programs in an election year, except in the case of a state of emergency.
As the report showed, interlocutors from the Palácio do Planalto already fear that the withdrawal of the PEC device in the Chamber could put in check the strategy of shielding the pre-candidate president for reelection.
