"There is an acceptance to legalization in the legislative sphere"

(Exclusive GMB) - ABRABINCS President, Olavo Sales, spoke with GMB about the creation of the Pro-Gaming Parliamentary Front in the Chamber of Deputies. According to him, a front with 262 deputies shows that the congressmen are accepting the idea that gaming should be regulated; and that they are prepared to vote soon.

GMB - In your opinion, what facts led to the creation of the Parliamentary Front with so many signatures among deputies?
Olavo Sales - The constitution of a front with 262 parliamentarians shows the maturity of the concept of legalization of gaming and that the majority of the congress has perception that activity needs to pass through a legalization. These facts corroborate the formation of the parliamentary front.

What kind of signal does the creation of the Pro-Gaming Parliamentary Front give to the Brazilian population that does not follow the process of regulating the activity?
It represents the maturity of an idea that is already majority in the House and shows that the legalization of the activity is something accepted in the legislative environment. This is very representative because it is the confirmation that the legislature is prepared and, for the most part, accepting the idea that gaming should be regulated.

Do you believe that the formation of the parliamentary front can help speed up the process and PL442 / 1991 can be voted on in the House plenary later this year?
The directors of the front understand that it is possible to pass legislation in the House this year still, transform into law at the beginning of next year and then regulation. The expectation ahead is that there is still time to take the vote. With the front it is possible a greater capacity of process management.

Can this move from the deputies in the Chamber influence the senators in the process of PL186 / 2014 that is in the Senate?
In the Senate, the body of senators has a representation similar to that of the Chamber of Deputies, in which senators also understand that the regulatory process is the correct one and the process to be followed.
