"Fiscal time bomb" proposals worry the government and other weekly topics

BRAZIL POLITICS - Report 15 Jun 2026 by Murillo de Aragão and Cristiano Noronha

President Lula is attending the G7 meeting in France. Senate President Davi Alcolumbre may refer the proposal to end the 6-on-1 work schedule to the Senate Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ). The rapporteur of the provisional measure on minimum freight rates may present his report to the Joint Congressional Committee discussing the matter. On the economic front, attention will focus on the Central Bank's meeting to decide interest rates. Three presidential polls are scheduled for release this week (Nexus/BTG Pactual, CNT/MDA, and Datafolha).

This week's Talking Points:

 - The government's task is to delay "fiscal time bomb" proposals; the alternative is the Supreme Court.

 - Lula's government vs. the Federal Senate.

 - Alternatives to ending the 6x1 work schedule in the Senate.

- Independent-voter volatility keeps the presidential race open.

- Will the right continue to rally around Flávio Bolsonaro?
