The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), met this Tuesday (23) with representatives of the agricultural and sugar-energy sectors to discuss proposals to support rural producers and mitigate fuel prices, says a note from "Agência Câmara". In the first meeting, Motta received members of the Agricultural Parliamentary Front (FPA), who presented demands related to Bill 5122/23. The proposal, authored by Deputy Domingos Neto (PSD-CE), creates a debt renegotiation program for rural producers affected by adverse weather conditions and global economic impacts. The text, which authorizes the use of resources from the Pre-Salt Social Fund to finance the measure, was recently approved with amendments in the Federal Senate and returned for further analysis by the deputies. The proposal allows for the application of rules similar to those for debts to regional constitutional funds, with the aim of offering financial relief to affected farmers, whether through rebates, extensions, amnesties, or renegotiations of rural credit. Regarding fuels, the Speaker of the House also met with representatives of the sugar-energy sector and with Representative Marussa Boldrin (Republicanos-GO). She is the rapporteur for Complementary Law Project (PLP) 114/26, which proposes a reduction in federal taxes on fuels and biofuels. The project authorizes the Union to offset tax waivers on fuels with extraordinary revenues from the oil sector. The measure aims to mitigate the economic impacts of the conflict in the Middle East on the energy market. "I will continue my work with all balance and responsibility, listening to everyone," the Speaker stated through his social media.
