Amid the government's difficulties in getting to approve the Proposal for Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) of the Precatório, the plenary of the Senate must vote this Wednesday afternoon (1) on the text approved yesterday by the Committee on Constitution and Justice (CCJ ) of the House.

The expectation is that the session will start right after the hearing of the former Minister of Justice and former Attorney General of the Union André Mendonça, appointed to the Supreme Court (STF), at the CCJ. Already predicting that Mendonça's argument could extend throughout the day, the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco, has already included the PEC in this Thursday's agenda (2).

If approved, the text will make room for the payment of R$ 400 per month to around 17 million beneficiaries of Auxílio Brasil, formerly Bolsa Família, in 2022. In addition to the PEC, which is the first item on the agenda, there is also voting for indications of authorities.
