Lula guarantees voting on the 'blusinhas tax' and the end of the 6x1 schedule in agreement with Congress

President Lula reached an agreement with Congress to vote on bills that will be used as electoral campaign strategy, including the Provisional Measure that eliminates the so-called "de minimis tax" of 20% on international purchases of up to 50 dollars, and the proposal to end the 6x1 work schedule. The president of Congress, Davi Alcolumbre, guaranteed at a lunch with Lula that the MP will not expire (it is valid until September 8) and will be voted on in plenary, demonstrating alignment between the branches in the final week of concentrated effort before the elections.
