The President commented on the advancement of the 'Plan B' for electoral reform in the Senate, where legislators from the Workers' Party (PT) were absent. She stated that her party will not campaign for any political party in the event of a recall vote in 2027. The President noted that for the past five days, everyone has been discussing this topic, but no one is talking about privileges. When questioned about the absence of PT legislators, she suggested asking them directly, implying they may disagree with holding the recall next year due to fears of losing votes. The President also rejected the possibility of postponing the vote to 2028, suggesting the initiative could be approved in parts. Yesterday, the joint Senate commissions on constitutional matters and legislative studies approved the 'Plan B', but without the participation of PT legislators. The Presidential Palace claims that the Green Party (Verde) and PT are seeking to create a third bloc between Morena and the opposition.
