Flávio Bolsonaro voted in favor of ending the 6x1 in an 'electoral maneuver', says Erika Hilton

Federal deputy Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) stated this Wednesday (14) that senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) voted in favor of the end of the 6x1 schedule (six days of work and one of rest) in an "electoral maneuver", but "did not show up" in the vote. She gave the statement to the press after the approval of the PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution) in the Senate.

In a historic session, the text was endorsed by senators in two rounds, in an important victory for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) 11 days before the second round against Flávio Bolsonaro. Erika Hilton is part of the PT government base. Now, the PEC is going to be enacted.

"He didn't step onto the Senate floor, he was the last one to be present, he changed his opinion in an electoral maneuver. He and his allies are responsible for us taking so long to approve this matter. They worked day and night to make this achievement take time. That's cynicism," declared Erika.

She is the author of a PEC that changes the work scale that was attached to the proposal approved this Wednesday.

According to the deputy, the PL candidate supports the project presented by his campaign coordinator, senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), which provides for remuneration according to the worker's working hours.

"If he [Flávio] becomes president of Brazil, the 6x1 scale will return, because what Flávio Bolsonaro defends is the PEC of hours worked with the excuse that the worker will negotiate with the boss. If he becomes president of Brazil, the next day, the 6x1 scale will return", stated Erika Hilton.

One of the main defenders of the PEC, the PSOL congresswoman also stated that the end of the 6x1 would be the most important achievement for the working class since the creation of the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws), during the government of Getúlio Vargas.

As the Panel column showed, despite the favorable vote, Flávio Bolsonaro assured allies and businesspeople to review points in the proposal if he is elected.

Tonight, there were 75 votes in favor of ending the 6x1 scale. Only Senator Hamilton Mourão (Republicanos-RS) voted against. Support was needed from 49 of the 81 parliamentarians.

Flávio did not participate in the session on site. He registered his presence at around 8:30 pm and voted online, which is allowed in the blended model that was adopted this Wednesday. Second round voting concluded around 10pm.
