Hugo Motta may debate fiscal adjustment project with leaders in the Chamber next week

According to Motta, the importance of the topic mobilizes parliamentarians and should be reflected in the urgency with which the Chamber of Deputies will address the issue.

The Minister of Planning, Bruno Moretti, informed the blog that he should meet this Friday (13) with the president of the Chamber.

The minister's expectation is that the deputies' vote will take place next week, as the consideration of the bill that provides for the 2027 budget should only take place after the adjustment measures proposed by the government are approved and become laws.

The basic text of the fiscal adjustment project approved by the Federal Senate on Thursday (12). The proposal foresees changes in public accounts to try to control public debt from next year.

With a 10% linear cut in tax benefits and changes in the calculation of spending floors, the text faced resistance from opposition senators.

The proposal was approved by 45 votes to 31. Senators still need to analyze highlights of the proposal, that is, possible changes to the text.

Voting is expected next Tuesday (17). After the vote, the project goes to the Chamber of Deputies for analysis.

The government is in a hurry to approve the text so that the rules can be in force for next year.

The government's objective is to contain the growth of public expenditure and increase revenue to try to stabilize public debt, preserving social policies.
