Motta will have a meeting with Guimarães about the 6×1 scale on Friday
The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), announced through his advisor that he will have an agenda this Friday (17), at 9 am, with the minister of the Secretariat of Institutional Relations, José Guimarães, to discuss the end of the 6×1 scale. The meeting will take place at the official residence of the President of the Chamber, in Brasília.
Guimarães will visit Motta the week he took office as minister. In office, the PT member acts as the main political articulator between the Palácio do Planalto and the Chamber.
Lula’s new minister criticizes “blouse tax” and sees little room for banning bets
Lula’s new minister says that the 20% tax is a source of government wear and tear and assesses that Congress only accepts regulating, not banning, betting shops
On Wednesday (15), Motta informed the press that he will not even appoint a rapporteur for the bill sent by the government on the end of the 6×1 scale. On the occasion, the President of the Chamber said that he will continue with the proposed amendment to the Constitution (PEC), which is under analysis by the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ).
As already shown by the Political Broadcast (Grupo Estado’s real-time news system), government supporters defend the bill’s processing because this format preserves the right of the President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), to veto any device that he dislikes.
The PEC does not undergo presidential sanction and comes into force upon its promulgation by the National Congress.
According to Motta, the Chamber’s CCJ should vote on the opinion of the rapporteur, deputy Paulo Azi (União Brasil-BA), next Wednesday, April 22, after the Tiradentes holiday.
The collegiate has the power to examine only the constitutional admissibility of the matter. The content will be analyzed later by a special committee, and will then go to the Chamber plenary.
