The president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco, placed the PEC of the Transition on the agenda of the next Wednesday of the plenary of the House, although the proposal is still in the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ).

This Monday afternoon, the president of the Senate CCJ, Davi Alcolumbre, confirmed Senator Alexandre Silveira (PSD-MG) as rapporteur for the Transition PEC and called an extraordinary meeting of the collegiate for tomorrow in order to try to vote on the proposal.

The original proposal removes up to BRL 198 billion from the spending ceiling in 2023, valid for four years. Due to lack of support, the elected government decided to step back and will start working to approve the PEC with an exception period in the spending ceiling for two years, but maintaining the value of almost R$ 200 billion.

The announcement of the change was made by Senator Marcelo Castro (MDB-PI), author of the PEC and general rapporteur for next year’s Budget, after a meeting with Pacheco and the mayor, Arthur Lira, as well as Alcolumbre and parliamentarians.
