The Brazilian Congress is set to discuss the lifting of environmental licensing vetoes by President Lula, with the opposition pushing for their removal. The government of Lula has secured a digital victory in a debate surrounding the potential derrubada (overturn) of a provisional measure (MP) that served as an alternative to the IOF tax. Following the derrubada of this MP, Minister Haddad has decided to cancel his trip to Washington for FMI meetings. Haddad later stated on Twitter that the MP 1.303 was derrubada due to the influence of lobbying by privileged groups in Congress. The derrubada of the MP has led to a decrease in future interest rates, reflecting the IPCA and the removal of the MP on IOF. The secondary market for LFTs has experienced relief following the derrubada of the MP on IOF.

Lula, the Brazilian President, has announced plans to convene ministers to discuss the government's response to the rejection of the MP of the IOF.

Haddad, the former mayor of São Paulo, has stated that the impact of the MP's rejection for this year is 'very small' due to the Supreme Court's decision regarding the IOF. Lula has also expressed his intention to propose that the financial system 'pay the due taxes' following the rejection of the MP.
