The Minister of the Civil House, Rui Costa, said again, this Saturday, that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) will sign and send the proposal for the new fiscal framework to Congress this Monday (17). The announcement was made by the minister after fulfilling his agenda in Salvador, visiting a Minha Casa, Minha Vida residence.
On Friday (14), he had already commented on the fiscal framework on Twitter, expressing the expectation that the project will be approved in the first half. “Today the final adjustments will be made to the text and on Monday President Lula will sign and send the project for the new fiscal framework to Congress,” he said at the time.
“The debate was held and we are very confident of approval in the first half, before the parliamentary recess”, he reinforced.
According to the Civil House minister, the government is interested in overcoming this stage in order to have “a much richer debate on tax reform, with broad participation from sectors and regions of the country”. Costa stated that the expectation is to have the tax reform approved in the second half.
Taxation
This Saturday, the minister again said that there is no new taxation in the Ministry of Finance’s siege for international e-commerce companies, especially Chinese ones.
“What will be done is supervision so that whoever is outside the existing law, adapts to the existing law. There is a lot of communication noise, because the companies that do this have already sought the Ministry of Finance to adapt and adjust their accountability to the existing law, ”he declared.

Two blocks in the Chamber
Costa also stated that the creation of two blocs in the Chamber of Deputies, which together make up 315 parliamentarians, were not formed to face the government. Costa pointed out that the two groups have government base parties, supporters of Lula in the presidential election, and that the parliamentarians’ strategy concerns the internal articulation of the Chamber.
“It is an internal articulation of the Chamber and the two blocs created have parties that are from the base, that campaigned for Lula in the first and second round, therefore, they are not characterized as blocs to face the government. It’s just part of Parliament’s democratic and legitimate articulation for the dispute for internal power in the Chamber, no big deal,” he said.
Yesterday, the minister of the Institutional Relations Secretariat, Alexandre Padilha, ruled out that there had been an error in the government’s political articulation with the adhesion of government acronyms, such as PSB, Solidariedade and PDT, to the bloc led by the President of the House, Arthur Lira (PP-AL). ). The group is led by PP and União Brasil, Centrão parties that are not part, at least formally, of the allied base.
The superblock headed by Lira, announced on Wednesday (12), has 173 deputies and includes PDT, PSB, Solidariedade, Avante, Patriota and the PSDB-Cidadania federation. The group was created after the announcement of the Republican alliance with PSD, MDB, Podemos and PSC, which has 142 parliamentarians and will be the second largest force in the Chamber.
