Lula had dinner with MDB leaders in Brasília yesterday, the House may vote on the Auxílio Brasil MP, and the Senate Economic Affairs Committee may vote on the ISS bill

BRAZIL POLITICS - Report 12 Apr 2022 by Murillo de Aragão and Cristiano Noronha

Former Senate President Eunício Oliveira made a point of stressing that the dinner does not mean Simone Tebet's candidacy will be boycotted. It is also worth mentioning that the MDB is negotiating an alliance with the PSDB, União Brasil and Cidadania for October. It is unlikely that the third way parties will move together in these elections even if they launch a single candidate. The House may vote on Provisional Measure (MP) nº 1.076/21, which increases the Auxílio Brasil payments to R$ 400 through December 31.
