In Brasilia, Luciana Santos goes to table with Lira on political reform – Folha Politics

PCdoB National President, Luciana Santos, Deputy Governor of Pernambuco, returns today from Brasilia where she has focused on discussing political reform. For the PCdoB, maintaining electoral rules can be fatal, especially the barrier clause and coalition veto power. The leader has defended the adoption of the party federation model for some time and yesterday again spoke in favor of it with the President of the Federal Chamber, Arthur Lear. Last night, the president brought together opposition presidents to discuss the issue. Besides Luciana, there were Carlos Siqueira (PSB), Carlos Lupi (PDT) and others. PT National President Glazi Hoffmann, who was unable to attend, appointed Federal MP José Guimaraes to speak on her behalf. Arthur warned the leaders that the deadline for voting on political reform is August 4. A vote is scheduled for this date, if there is no break. If so, it may happen earlier. The idea is to put everything on the newsletter. Read: All of the proposals discussed by parties and leaders have been squeezed into a kind of umbrella amendment called the amendment to the Political Reform Constitutional Amendment (PEC) Proposal Amendment.

The logic was to make the debate viable, since there is no consensus, and, at the same time, to have a range of alternatives without missing the deadline. Among the options on the radar is the federation, whose emergency regime has been approved 429 for versus 18 against. For PCdoB, a nearly 100-year-old legend that turned 99 in March, proposing success is a matter of survival. The topic upsets the party along with the barrier clause. This latest tool, created in 2017, sets a vote requirement that gradually increases with each election until 2030. To have access to party funds and radio and television time next year, the party will need to achieve at least 2% of valid votes in the House of Representatives elections, distributed in at least nine states, with at least 1% of valid votes in each of them. According to the 2018 map, when the lower vote limit was 1.5%, PCdoB would now have difficulty reaching the legal limit.

PCdoB leader of the Federal Chamber Renildo Calheiros also sat at the table with Luciana Santos and Arthur Lira and reiterates that the federation is the best “outlet for the Brazilian party system.” In his column, he states the following: “This is a democratic, non-imposing, non-authoritarian way of organizing party cadres, based on programmatic convergence, with strong alliances.”
