      247 - With a strong opposition strategy in the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) of the Chamber of Deputies, which managed to postpone the discussion of the pension reform proposal until the 23rd, the Jair Bolsonaro government suffered a heavy defeat this Wednesday, the 17th. The government had considered the reform's approval today a certainty.

      The rapporteur, Delegate Marcelo Freitas (PSL-MG), requested the postponement of the vote. Last week, he had presented a report recommending the full approval of the Bolsonaro government's bill. However, several members of the Committee are requesting changes to the proposal in the first stage.

      "Government allies said they will start the CCJ session today by voting on the pension reform and that they 'will not leave until it is approved.' With the people against it, a strong opposition, and a disorganized government, we will see who resists the longest. Onwards. Not one right less," posted congresswoman Talíria Petrone (PSOL-RJ).

      "The rapporteur has disappeared. The ongoing changes need to be analyzed. In the name of the rights of the Brazilian people, this CCJ session cannot continue. The opposition is firm and will win. The Bolsonaro government is one of malice and incompetence. Look at our front line in the fight!", wrote Maria do Rosário (PT-RS).
