Public security bills are still on discussion in Brasilia this week meanwhile the Congress is still not working with full capacity, specifically the House of Representatives that has not appointed its committees. Although the Speaker of the House, Rep. Rodrigo Maia (DEM/RJ) promised to appoint committees presidencies in the following two weeks, it can take longer, since congressmen are on discussions about switching of parties that is permitted until April 7th.
This week is also marked by the international woman’s day, when it is expected for commemorative sessions in both Houses and the delivery of Bertha Luz Award, dedicated to women who had worked in defense of women’s rights and gender issues in Brazil. The Award will be delivered during a commemorative joint session of the Congress.
Also, the Planalto is busy with the following ministerial reform. The government has already indicated last week that only those who support the government in Congress and who will give support to the government’s candidate for presidency will be able to influence on next Minister choices. It represents a red flag for Minister of Health, Ricardo Barros (PP/PR); for Minister of Education, Mendonça Filho (DEM/PE); and for Minister of Science, Technology and Communication, Gilberto Kassab (PSD/SP) whose parties shall support a different candidate from the government one.
