government will have to “walk with its own legs” after approval of the MP

The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), stated that the approval of Provisional Measure 1154/23, which restructures the ministries, does not mean that there is a consolidated base of support for the Lula government. There were 337 votes in favor of the text and 125 against. Lira warned that “from now on, the government has to walk with its own legs and there will be no kind of sacrifice from parliamentarians”.

The deputy explained that the independent and center parties, mainly, gave the government one more opportunity, although they wanted to send a message to the Planalto about the need to participate more actively in the life of the Country and Congress, informed Agência Câmara.

“The government knows and is aware that the political accommodation has not been made, it does not have a consolidated basis, the leader José Guimarães (PT-CE) is aware of this, and we convinced our deputies that it is important that the government has its management, even though many they wanted to demonstrate to the government so that it participates more in the active life of the country”, stated Lira.

“No agreement was made, it was a lot of talk and tranquility to conduct this vote so that a panel as elastic was reached”, said the president of the Chamber. For Lira, as of this Wednesday’s vote, the government will have the opportunity to return to work in search of a more consolidated base and a more correct political articulation to have “calmer days”, he pondered.
