The opposition in the Senate tries to postpone the vote on the PEC that ends the 6x1 work scale, emptying sessions and proposing changes so that the proposal returns to the Chamber of Deputies, with the aim of preventing approval from benefiting President Lula in the elections and only being voted on after the second round.
AI-generated summary
The PEC at the end of the 6x1 scale proposes a reduction in working hours from 44 to 36 hours per week, with four days of work and three days of rest. The proposal is guided by the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, but faces resistance from the opposition, who fear that its approval will benefit the Lula government in the electoral context.
In addition to emptying the Senate plenary sessions to postpone the vote on the PEC at the end of the 6x1 scale, the opposition is working on other strategies to postpone the analysis. One of them is to propose changes to the text that require the proposal to be re-analyzed by the Chamber of Deputies.
After the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP) discussed the matter in the House's sessions, the opposition began to organize itself to not give a quorum to the discussion sessions and postpone the vote on the topic.
The concern is that the approval of the matter will be used in favor of President Lula in the electoral dispute. Furthermore, allies of Flávio Bolsonaro defend the PEC proposed by senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), coordinator of Flávio's campaign, which suggests payment per hour worked.
Bolsonaro supporters, however, recognize that voting against the proposal could be a shot in the foot and would wear down Flávio's campaign in the final stretch among the population.
Therefore, they demand that the President of the House comply with the procedural rules, without speeding up the process and, as a result, the proposal will only be analyzed after the second round of elections.
But the government is racing against time and trying to get signatures for a request that would shorten the process.
The opposition has already started to defend, behind the scenes, that senators propose significant changes to the text that would force the PEC to return to the Chamber of Deputies. This way, it would not be worn out by voters and the proposal would only be appreciated after the second round of elections.
