“Lula-Lira meeting was too positive,” federal deputy Reginaldo Lopes told CNN Brazil.

Reginaldo specified that the leader of the lower house told Lula his willingness to help his administration. “Both showed a collaborative spirit”, he remarked.

Lira declared his support for the approval of the so-called Constitutional Amendment Proposal (PEC) of the Transition, which seeks to open extra space in the 2023 Union Budget to finance Auxilio Brasil program to aid needy families.
