В понедельник (31-го числа) Палата депутатов одобрила временное постановление (MP), регулирующее кредитную линию в размере 30 миллиардов реалов для покупки автомобилей водителями приложений и таксистами. Предложение still needs to pass a vote in the Senate plenary to have permanent effect.
The validity of the provisional measure only ends in October, but the prediction is that the National Congress will be emptied in the coming weeks due to elections. The week that begins this Monday should be the last voting period before the first round, which will occur on October 4.
The MP was approved in the mixed committee last Friday, outside of the concentrated effort week, after movement approaches between President Lula and the presidents of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), and the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB).
The financing line is specifically directed at app drivers and taxi drivers. Last Thursday, the government extended from 72 to up to 84 months the maximum payment period for the financing.
