Minister has already discussed the matter with Pacheco. Congress approved an extension of the exemption and, in December, overturned Lula’s veto on the proposal. Haddad stated that he did not see ‘tension’ between Powers around the issue. The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, and President Lula in an image from December 2023 CLÁUDIO REIS/ENQUADRAR/ESTADÃO CONTEÚDO The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, said this Tuesday (16) that he will have two meetings this week to discuss the provisional measure that gradually reburdens the payroll of 17 labor-intensive sectors of the economy. One of the hearings will be with the head of the Executive, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), and another with the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL). “I had to talk to President Lula, I must do it tomorrow [quarta-feira]I must talk to President Lira, on whom some formal and merit-based decisions depend, this should happen on Thursday or Friday morning at the latest here in Brasília”, Haddad declared to journalists. Last Monday (15), Haddad met with the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), to discuss the issue. Parliamentarians, sectors of the economy and entities have asked Pacheco to return the MP. The text goes against a decision by Congress, which approved the extension of the exemption and, in December, overturned a veto by President Lula, renewing the measure for another four years — until December 31, 2027. Sectors cite risk to jobs and ask for the return of the MP Sectors ask Pacheco for the return of the MP that he reviews exemption There is no ‘tension’ between the Powers In an interview this Tuesday, the Minister of Finance said he did not see “tension” between the government and Congress and that the economic team will talk to all parties involved in the issue. He also said that the economic team “is available to present the numbers and present alternatives for […] accommodate in the best possible way.” “There is no tension between the Powers, the Treasury you were witness to this, the Treasury negotiated difficult complex projects, which no one even believed in their possible approval and we were discussing, we have no problems discussing.” Furthermore, of the gradual reinstatement of the payroll from April 1, 2024, the MP also addresses two other topics: the limitation of tax compensations made by companies – that is, taxes that will not be collected in the coming years to “compensate” taxes unduly paid in previous years and already recognized by the Courts; changes to the Events Sector Emergency Resumption Program (Perse), created during the pandemic to benefit the cultural sector and extended by Congress, in May, until 2026.
