On Wednesday (May 20), Congressman Leo Prates (Republicanos-BA) is expected to present his report on the proposed constitutional amendments (PECs) addressing the end of the 6x1 work schedule. A transition rule is currently under negotiation. The Lower House may vote this week on Complementary Bill (PLP) No. 114/26, introduced by Congressman Paulo Pimenta (PT-RS), which authorizes the federal government to offset fuel tax breaks with extraordinary revenues from the oil sector.

Polling institute AtlasIntel will release a presidential voting intention poll tomorrow (May 19). The poll was registered with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) on May 13, shortly after the release of audio recordings involving Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL).
