House positive agenda is overshadowed by CPMI and complaints

It was supposed to be a large positive agenda from the House for public opinion, with the approval of the PL that fights the adultization of children and adolescents on social networks, and the approval of the urgency of the PL that exempts from income tax that earns up to just over $ 5,000. However, two facts ended up overshadowing the votes.

First, the opposition maneuver to exchange the presidency and the rapporteur of the INSS’s Joint Parliamentary Inquiry Committee (CPMI). And then the Federal Police operation against former President Jair Bolsonaro, Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro and Pastor Silas Malafaia.

According to political scientist Creomar de Souza, “we live a systemic instability so great that even when institutional actors commit a hit, they end up being run over by reality.”

Souza also states that it is impossible to dissociate the difficulty of Congress that parliamentarians are concerned about their amendments. “In this context, doing normal politics, it turns out to be very difficult,” he adds.

However, he evaluates that the balance is quite positive in the fact that Congress has given a quick response to a demand from society, as in just two days, the House of Representatives approved the urgency and then the bill, which fights adultization of children. The approved text still needs a new Senate vote.

The proposal was processed for two years in the Senate and had been in the House for more than six months. The video published by Youtuber Felipe Bressanim, known as Felca, on the subject made the president of Casa Hugo Motta and the other parliamentarians hurry the process and vote on the proposal in record time.

“Parliament is shielded and, in a way, all parliamentarians can say that they actually took a position in defense of children. It was a quick response and the use of this response favors the entire congress, regardless of the parliamentary side,” adds Souza.
