Federal deputies and senators elected in 2022 take office this Wednesday (1st) in their positions in the National Congress. The new parliamentarians assume the mandate in a divided country, which experienced the coup attacks in Brasilia.

Among the highlights of the new legislature is the increase in women, indigenous peoples and black people in the Legislative, but the growth of diversity in parliament has slowed down compared to 2018 despite the new rules created by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) to leverage these candidacies.

For blacks, the growth in 2022 was 8.5%, while in past elections, the increase had been 22.6%. As for women, the expansion was 18% —from 51 to 77 parliamentarians—, compared to 51% in the last election, a number considered frustrating by specialists.

In addition, one of the challenges facing the new Congress is the discussion of budgetary control after the end of the rapporteur’s amendments —without the instrument, control of public funds commitments must be negotiated with the federal government, which once again has space in the allocation of budgets. resources.
