247 – In a new round of retaliation against the Dilma Rousseff government, the Speaker of the House, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB), will schedule the voting on the five accounts of former presidents for the first day after the recess, on August 4th, to pave the way for the consideration of the balance sheet presented in 2014. The 'fiscal maneuvers' are the subject of a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Accounts against the president.
In the same session, he intends to vote on the bill that doubles the FGTS (Brazilian employee severance fund) adjustment. This is according to columnist Natuza Nery.
Before Cunha's break with the Planalto Palace, Dilma had personally requested the postponement of the bill's processing.
"Concerned about the approval of new fiscal bombs, the government will rely on a discourse of social appeal to convince its allied base to reject projects that result in new spending," states a note from Painel, in 'Folha de S. Paulo'.
To stop these projects, the Planalto (Brazilian presidential palace) should seek out congressmen to explain that every extra cent of spending will mean less investment in health, education, and affordable housing (read more). here).
