Chamber: Lula relativizes government defeat in MP approved – 06/01/2023 – Power

President Lula (PT) stated that he was already waiting for the approval by the Chamber of Deputies of the provisional measure that restructures the government. “It was reasonable for the House to vote the way it did,” he said.

The House approved the matter after blocking the representative, who had to give in, for example, in the plan to try to maintain the possibility of extinguishing Funasa in order to obtain a majority in parliament.

Lula’s allies accepted the centrão’s proposal to recreate the body that is the target of greed by parties for political nominations.

The text approved this Wednesday in the House and which will be evaluated this Thursday by the Senate also empties the powers of the environmental and indigenous areas of the federal government.

Deputies even threatened to let the measure lose its validity, which would force the resumption of the design of the Esplanada along the lines of the previous government, of Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

The approval was by 337 votes in favor and 125 against (and one abstention). The MP still needs to be approved by the Senate this Thursday (1st) in order not to lose validity.

Centrão leaders spoke of giving the government one last chance to change the political articulation.

The Planalto Palace sought this Tuesday (30) and Wednesday to provide a quick response to the dissatisfaction of the group led by Lira.

The government operation involved a phone call from Lula to Lira early this Wednesday morning. In the conversation, the deputy presented an overview of the widespread dissatisfaction in the Chamber and Lula made an appeal for the MP to be voted.
