Lira says fiscal framework should be approved “without difficulty”

The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL, said this Sunday (16) that he sees no difficulties in approving the new fiscal framework of the Lula government, among federal deputies and senators. The text should be sent to the National Congress this Monday (17).

“By the way it was designed, we don’t find any difficulty in these subjects that were treated. The difference in investment within the growth margin is fair”, evaluated Lira during an interview with Canal Livre da Band.

According to Lira, there are still details of the text to be discussed, such as, for example, the allocation of resources in case of excess collection. “Does it go to mandatory expenses? Does it go to pure investment? Debt payment? These situations, we will only know when the cold text of the law arrives”, she said.

The president of the Chamber also promised to speed up the voting, designating the rapporteur and in two or three weeks to guide the matter. There is an expectation that the rapporteurship should be with a Progressive deputy, the same party as Lira.

The PT government’s proposal predicts that spending growth in a given year will be up to 70% of the expansion of primary revenue in the 12 months up to July of the previous year. For example: if revenues had a real increase of 2% in 12 months until July of this year, expenses for 2024 could grow up to 1.4%.
