PT's New House Leader Rallies to Sustain Lula's Veto as Congress Awaits Vote

Overturning the veto requires absolute majorities in both chambers in a joint session that Senate President Davi Alcolumbre has yet to schedule.

PL da Dosimetria: quantos votos a oposição precisa para derrubar veto

Overview

  • Pedro Uczai said keeping the veto would be the PT bench's first victory and urged Carnival mobilization to defend it.
  • Lula fully vetoed the dosimetry bill on Jan. 8, which would relax penalties for those convicted over the Jan. 8, 2023 attacks.
  • To overturn the veto, the opposition must reach 257 deputies and 41 senators in a joint session, while absences and abstentions help the government.
  • The bill previously passed by 291–148 in the Chamber and 48–25–1 in the Senate, bolstering opposition claims the veto can be reversed.
  • Even if Congress overrides the veto, the measure would likely face constitutional challenges at the Supreme Federal Court from parties, associations, the PGR or the federal government.
