Faced with resistance from the National Congress, the government was forced to withdraw the request for constitutional urgent status for the payroll tax reinstatement bills and the bill dealing with app drivers. Next week, the bills on payroll tax relief, Perse (the program aimed at the events sector), and payroll tax relief for small municipalities remain on the negotiation table between the government and Congress. The government may also announce three important measures with potential impact on its popularity. The first two include a housing credit program, and there is one on microcredit and credit for microenterprises. Additionally, we have the Voa Brasil program.
