Governors see demonstrations such as ‘turn’ against amnesty and PEC of armor

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) allies believe that adherence to demonstrations by the country against amnesty and armor PEC will have the power to curb the proceedings and to maintain pressure against convicted of attempted coup. On another front, governors see that with these projects on the agenda, especially what protects processed parliamentarians, the opposition allows the Planalto Palace to achieve more support for the projects they want to prioritize.

The acts summoned by union centrals, leftist parties and artists take place in at least ten Brazilian capitals on Sunday, 21. The main ones were scheduled for Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. At the demonstration in Brasilia, the protesters asked Congress to focus on projects such as the end of the 6th scale by 1 and what exempts the income tax for those who earn up to $ 5,000.

Deputy Paulo Pimenta (PT-RS), former minister of the Secretariat of Communication of the Presidency of the Republic, said that Lula and the government are strengthened from the demonstrations. “Support to President Lula at this time ends up being the great umbrella of these minimum wage guidelines, scale 6 by 1, national sovereignty. Even though it is a diffuse act, it certainly strengthens this popular and democratic field,” he said.

PT leader in the House, Deputy Lindbergh Farias (RJ) stated that acts represent for the government a “turn” on the agenda. “The amnesty project and the shielding PEC lose strength. This review of penalties as well. We expect this popular turn to facilitate the approval of projects that are interested in the government and the Brazilian population,” he told the report.

One of the most courtely at the act held in Brasilia, former Minister Jose Dirceu said that Congress to the country to vote impunity while bringing matters of interest to a majority of the population. “They block the exemption of income tax, the voucher, the exemption of the electricity bill and stop the country to vote the PEC of impunity. But Brazil is changing, the proof is us here today and throughout Brazil,” he said.
