Brasilia – New proposal decision tax framework In the SenateSunday, 4th, Senator Omar Aziz (PSD-AM) said he did not want to “delay” the progress of the project, and that he would speak with the president of the Security Council. roomArthur Lira (PP-AL), and with the text rapporteur in the neighboring House of Representatives, Claudio Cajado (PP-BA), in the event of amendments the text would be forced to be voted on again by the deputies.
He said in an interview with CNN Brazil. Aziz will take the motion to the Committee on Economic Affairs (CAE), where it will be voted on first, and to the full Senate.
Asked if the vote would take place by the end of the month, the rapporteur replied that he expected a result before that deadline, between June 20 and 21. “I hope it will be much earlier, by the 20th or the 21st?
Commenting on the necessity of approving any amendments to the text with the chamber, Aziz said that Lira “has the say,” and that Congress has no “right” to block a vote on a project such as the new financial framework.
“I’m going to talk to Lyra, Pacheco, and Cajado,” he said, “because it’s in everyone’s interest to be up to speed. Congress has no right to disturb this moment.” The senator also said “It’s in everybody’s interest to have speed. There’s no one against Arcapocho, people can disagree on one point or another, and that’s historic in Congress.”
For him, the situation in which the Lula government is experiencing the MP’s approval of the restructuring of the ministries cannot be confused with the atmosphere surrounding the proposal for the new financial rule. “We are not there to harm states, municipalities or educators, but to convey credibility to the world that we have the legal security to make investments,” he said.
Intersection changes
Aziz stressed that there are three main points of discussion on the bill in the Senate: the retention or withdrawal of expenditures from the Basic Education Maintenance and Development Fund (Fundeb) from the spending limit in the new rule, the change in the correction of the Constitutional Fund of the Federal District and the formula of Article 15, which paves the way for the government to increase its spending in 2024.
Despite not expecting whether he would change the text that came from the room regarding these issues, Aziz said he would analyze the demands and argued that Congress “does not in any way harm the ‘already weak’ education in Brazil.” Citing the views of the teachers’ strikes, which included In motions for the amendment, he questioned Parliament’s role in putting “gasoline to this fire”.
“Parliamentary Education Front has asked for a meeting with me, and they will. And let’s see, education is a priority. We’ll have to analyze, make predictions. There’s a very big perspective for Brazil apart from the teachers on strike, they’re asking for an amendment, the history of the foundation, who we are why we still want to put Gasoline on the fire that’s over there?” he said.
“But there is no doubt that Fondep will not be harmed and will be analyzed so that everyone can hear,” he said. On Article 15, the rapporteur commented that he is discussing the issue with technicians, and pointed out the different interpretations about the wording, because some understand the rule as benevolent and others – including government supporters – as more stringent.
“Its interpretation could be in one aspect or the other, so we have to analyze it well,” he said. Aziz believed that the report approved by the House of Representatives “pleased the majority,” and that despite claims to make the text more flexible or strict, the House would reach a “common denominator.”
“The report of Cajado (reporter in the House of Representatives) pleased the vast majority, and we convey credibility abroad. Our goal is lower interest rates to return to growth and job creation. This fiscal adjustment is of great importance to Brazilians,” he said. Senator, who expected approval of the framework not only from Congress, but from the “Brazilian nation.”
