Jornada 6x1: PEC atinge 132 assinaturas; Confira
The journey towards a new electoral system in Brazil continues, with the PEC da Reforma Eleitoral (Proposed Constitutional Amendment for Electoral Reform) reaching a significant milestone this week. As of today, 132 senators and deputies have signed the proposal, bringing it closer to the required number of signatures for it to be debated in the National Congress.
What is the PEC da Reforma Eleitoral?
The PEC da Reforma Eleitoral is a comprehensive proposal that aims to reform Brazil's electoral system, addressing issues such as campaign financing, political parties, and electoral justice. It proposes a wide range of changes, including:
- Public funding of political campaigns: The proposal seeks to eliminate private donations to campaigns, promoting greater transparency and reducing the influence of corporate interests in politics.
- Changes to the electoral calendar: The PEC proposes adjustments to the electoral calendar, aiming to create a more efficient and streamlined process.
- Strengthening of the electoral justice system: The proposal seeks to enhance the effectiveness of electoral justice, combating electoral fraud and ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.
- Reforms to political parties: The PEC proposes changes to the rules governing political parties, including stricter regulations on party registration and financing.
The journey to 132 signatures
Reaching 132 signatures marks a significant step forward for the PEC da Reforma Eleitoral. This number represents a majority of the members of both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, indicating growing support for the proposed reforms.
However, the PEC still needs to reach the required number of signatures to be formally submitted to the National Congress for debate and voting. This process requires the support of at least one-third of the members of both houses, a threshold that is yet to be reached.
What happens next?
With 132 signatures secured, the focus now shifts to gathering the remaining support necessary to formally submit the PEC. Proponents of the reforms will need to continue mobilizing support within Congress, building consensus and addressing concerns raised by lawmakers.
The debate on the PEC da Reforma Eleitoral is expected to be intense, with various stakeholders weighing in on the proposed changes. The outcome of this process will have a significant impact on the future of Brazilian democracy.
