End of 6×1: rapporteur presents new opinion to leaders this Tuesday (16)

The rapporteur of the bill that puts an end to the 6×1 work schedule, deputy Leo Prates (Republicanos-BA), is expected to present his new opinion to party leaders this Tuesday (16). The parliamentarian has already reported the PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution) on a similar topic, which was approved by the plenary of the Chamber, and now assumes the government's text, which is blocking the House's agenda.

The Executive's project will be debated by the college of leaders, but it is already discussed in the plenary. The proposal is being processed urgently. Because it was not voted on within 45 days, the agenda has been blocked since the end of May, which prevents further voting.

The House has already approved a PEC on the topic on May 27th. The bill created by the government, which has a different text than the PEC, was sent in April precisely to press for the advancement of the agenda, which creates a new scale of work.

Even with the approval of the PEC, the government decided not to remove the urgency of its project. The Executive is betting on maintaining the urgency regime to put pressure on the Senate, where the PEC at the end of the 6×1 awaits analysis and has not been discussed by the president of the Upper House, Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil - AP) since May 28th.

The expectation is that Leo Prates' report will be similar to his text written for the PEC and which has already been approved by deputies. It provides for two days off per week, without salary reductions, and a total transition of 14 months to reduce the current 44-hour week to 40-hour working hours.

Government and centrão deputies hope that the text proposed by the government will be approved with the same ease as the PEC. They understand that there is broad agreement for the measure to be voted on in the plenary this week without major obstacles, especially considering that fewer votes are needed to approve a bill (at least half of the votes).

Behind the scenes, the opposition does not believe in the possibility of blocking the text, but sees the possibility of contesting, once again, the speech that tries to "expose" the government.

The president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), decided to move forward with the Executive's project to unlock the House's agenda and pave the way for other deliberations. This week, he wants to move forward with voting on the project that criminalizes misogyny.

The opinion on this proposal must also be presented by the rapporteur, deputy Tabata Amaral (PSB-SP), and debated by the leaders at the meeting. The topic has been discussed in a working group since the beginning of May.

The first version of Tabata's report included a new concept of the practice of misogyny and the possibility, in the event of a court decision, of suspending internet profiles used to disseminate illicit content.

The text classifies misogyny as "the practice, induction or incitement of contempt or discrimination against women, which promotes violence, denies their equal rights or offends their dignity, due to their condition as a woman".
