The impasse around the Precatórios PEC continues, the CAE of the Senate may vote on Sen. Jean Paul Prates’s report, and the leadership of the MDB should meet today to ratify Sen. Simone Tebet’s presidential candidacy

Some senators are calling for the PEC not to be enacted. Leaders in the House do not believe the deputies are ready to analyze the changes that were made. A solution should be announced this week as the government hopes to start issuing Auxílio Brasil payments on Friday.
