According to sources, Lira has been negotiating the issue with the Minister of Institutional Relations, Alexandre Padilha, and with government party leaders in Congress.
This is already the second move by the Mayor in this regard. In April, at Lira's request, the government withdrew from Carf's MP - one of the main collection measures envisaged by the economic team - and sent the text back to Congress as a bill.
Negotiations take place amid the friction between Lira and Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), around the joint commissions that analyze the PMs.
The senators were in favor of resuming the collegiate bodies along the original lines, while the deputies claimed more space.
After an agreement between the Houses and the government, three measures considered a priority by the government had the commissions installed: Minha Casa Minha Vida, Bolsa Família and restructuring of the ministries. Carf's was turned into a bill.
A PM is effective immediately and must be approved by Congress within 120 days to have permanent effect. Approval requires only a simple majority (half plus one, in relation to those present in the plenary).
The bill with constitutional urgency, on the other hand, locks the voting agenda after 45 days and starts with the Chamber. Approval requires an absolute majority, that is, 257 deputies.
Despite the promise of a format change, as it would be in the PM, the project's rapporteur should be deputy Felipe Carreras (PE), leader of the PSB and of Lira’s block in the Chamber.
A draft of the proposal was even presented by the Ministry of Finance last week, still in PM format. The text was sent for review by other folders, before going to the Civil House.
