The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, has sealed a vow of silence on the negotiations with the President of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), and the President of the House, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), on the provisional measure which aims to punish the country’s highest-employing sectors with payroll taxation. The “plan b” analyzed by the economic team is a new staggered burden with a longer duration than the one publicly defended by Haddad, 2027, there is talk of 2029.
The minister insists that even if he softens the refund with the longer term, collection must begin immediately.
Even with the possibility of making the maturity of the bonds more flexible, the signals Haddad received from Pacheco and Lira were to reject the issue.
The minister was informed that the House and Senate are also willing to discuss a form of compensation, but the repayment of taxes will not take place.
The alternative put on the table by Pacheco is to tax purchases up to $50. Once approved, the measure could inject nearly 3 billion reais into federal coffers.

For Jordy the operation is a ‘message to the opposition’
The leader of the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, Carlos Jordy (PL-RJ), said he believes that the Federal Police operation in his home will serve to “send a message” to the opponents of the Lula government (PT). “If they do it with the leader of the opposition in the House, they can do it with anyone,” the federal deputy told the column, who also believes that another purpose is evidential fishing; “look for anything that could generate further suspicions” to “reach other opposition people”.
Jordy believes that the operation can also serve as a “justification” to “give legality” to the action of the STF and Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
The deputy says that the STF has convicted ordinary citizens, without privileged jurisdiction, but “now that there is a deputy under investigation…”.
Senators such as Carlos Portinho (PL-RJ) repudiated the PF’s action at the request of the STF and questioned the separation of powers.
Power without shame
An intelligent grandfather
Paulo Maluf didn’t give up points even when he suffered defeat. In 1990, after losing the race for governor of Sao Paulo, he welcomed journalists covering his campaign for a light-hearted interview. Then he proposed a photo with everyone. A journalist, a well-known PT activist, was insulted by the kiss Maluf gave her on the cheek. She joked, “What is this, my daughter? I’m just a grandfather. I’m already a little…” she stopped herself mid-sentence, looked around and laughed, warning: “… no, I’m not!”
Another ‘innocent’ from Lava Jato
Deltan Dallagnol recalled that Domingos Brazão, indicated in Ronnie Lessa’s statement as the instigator of the murder of Marielle Franco, was arrested by Lava Jato in 2017, but was released. The death occurred in 2018.
After an alleged denunciation of the person responsible for the death of Marielle Franco, the regional politician Bruno Engler (PL-MG) asked an uncomfortable question: “Will Adélio Bispo also make a plea deal?”
The possible outcome of the crime that killed Marielle Franco has shaken social media. On X, formerly Twitter, one of the most discussed topics was #QuemMandouMatarBolsonaro.
Messias Donato (Rep-ES) sees an attempt to repress the criminal speech of José Genoíno, former president of the PT, against the Jews. “There is no confusion, no inquiry, no investigation and no punishment,” the MP lamented.
