Ministers see the defeat in Congress as disastrous – 08/05/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

Lula’s (PT) decision to send two decrees to Congress altering the legal framework for sanitation, which led him to suffer his first significant defeat in the Chamber of Deputies, was considered disastrous by government ministers.

RIGHT DESTINATION

At least three of them expressed, in conversations with colleagues and also with the column, perplexity with the fact that the president insisted on a proposal that would predictably be defeated.

LEFT FOOT

With that, the government began a cycle of voting on important matters in the Chamber, experiencing embarrassment and revealing the weakness of its parliamentary base – when, in the opinion of the same ministers, it could have started with simpler and more consensual proposals and emerged victorious.

CREDIT

They credit the defeat especially to the Minister of the Civil House, Rui Costa (PT-BA), who would have insisted on the matter.

BOIL

Parliamentarians also mention the Minister of Institutional Relations, Alexandre Padilha, who became the target of the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL).

BOIL 2

In the view of the ministers who criticize the initiative, the government did not understand that the legal framework was not considered the work of the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), but of Congress itself – which would resist any attempt to change it.

BOIL 3

The decrees were defeated in the Chamber by 295 to 136 votes. The president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), has already stated that the “trend” is for the senators to also reject the proposal, thus confirming Lula’s defeat.
