-Who thinks that the Lula government is fully satisfied with the elections for the presidencies of the House and Senate is wrong. Behind the scenes, the Planalto Palace follows with concerns about the Right’s strengthening in Congress, especially with the confirmation of the agreements signed between the new commanders of the Houses and the opposition.
Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB) and Davi Alcolumbre (Union-AP) assured that they will fulfill the political commitments made with the PL, contradicting expectations of sectors of the PT and the left, who bet on a more favorable accommodation for the government. With this, the acronym MYTH of former President Jair Bolsonaro further consolidates his influence in the Legislature.
The Congress leadership composition portrays this scenario. The new vice-presidents will be Altineu Côrtes (PL-RJ), in the House, and Eduardo Gomes (PL-TO), in the Senate, guaranteeing the PL strategic positions to influence Congressional decisions. In addition, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) will command the Public Safety Committee, where he intends to move forward with criminal hardening projects, which worries the opposition.
Other key committees will also be under the command of the opposition: the Human Rights Commission will be chaired by Senator Damares Alves (Republicans-DF), while the Infrastructure Commission will have Senator Marcos Rogério (PL-RO) at the head. In the case of the Chamber, Congresswoman Carol de Toni (PL-SC) is the favorite to lead the Minorities Commission.
The discontent of the Lula government is due, especially, to the growing influence of the PL, which already forms the largest bench in the Chamber, with 92 deputies, and the second largest in the Senate, with 14 senators.
In capital Brasilia, the right-wing is celebrating. With the strategic positions conquered, there is talk of strengthening to bar left-wing agendas on key points and, in addition, pave the way for the 2026 elections.
