Amid strong resistance to the text, the Senate Committee on Economic Affairs decided to postpone the vote on the bill that privatizes the Correios, scheduled for this Tuesday (9). There are real risks that the text will not pass the committee. Therefore, the postponement will help the government to buy time.
The committee’s chairman, Otto Alencar, announced that the vote is for next week because the rapporteur made an adjustment to the text.
TO CNN, rapporteur Márcio Bittar, complained about the postponement and said that the adjustment only reaffirms what is already in the text by making it clearer that the postage service will continue to be universal, that is, reaching all cities. Bittar said he has seen senators from the north concerned about the possibility of restrictions on the service.
“I think this is all nonsense. The data is impeccable. If you don’t sell it now, in three years’ time, nobody will be interested, and we will have this bankrupt estate made up of 100,000 employees. And a monstrous physical structure, cars, buildings, who will sustain it?” he said.
Votes
Senate government leader Fernando Bezerra is still counting the votes. Of the 27 members of the collegiate, at least 10 have already declared to be against the text.
The government can, within the statutory period, take the text to the plenary to try for approval, even if it does not pass the commission.
