Padilha says that the vote on the fiscal rule is maintained even with the installation of the CPMI

The Minister of the Institutional Relations Secretariat, Alexandre Padilha, said this Monday (24) that the calendar for voting on economic measures is maintained, “independent” of the installation of the Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) on the acts of 8 January. The minister pointed out that the rapporteur for the new fiscal framework, deputy Claudio Cajado (PP-BA), should present the report by May 10.

“We have a calendar of priority votes in the National Congress, this calendar, above all, economic issues, an absolute priority of the government, is maintained and will be preserved regardless of a CPI installation”, said Padilha. The statement was made after a meeting with the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, reported the g1 portal. On the last 18th, Haddad delivered the new fiscal rule to Congress. Upon receiving the text, the mayor, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), said he hopes to vote on the project by May 10. Padilha highlighted the importance of the economic agenda, including the processing of the tax reform.

“I am sure that the attention of society, the government and Congress is on the country’s economic agenda. The centrality, at this moment, of the National Congress, is exactly that we vote on the new regime of fiscal and social sustainability in the country, discuss the tax reform and we voted to recreate programs, which are through provisional measures, with Bolsa Família, Minha Casa Minha Vida, new Mais Médicos, Food Acquisition Program, that is, this is the centrality of both the Chamber and the Senate, and this centrality will be maintained,” said the minister.
