Hugo Motta has decided to keep Guilherme Derrite as the rapporteur for the Anti-Falsification Bill in Brazil, amid criticism from government supporters and support from the opposition.
On Thursday, October 19, the President of Brazil's Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), confirmed that Deputy Guilherme Derrite (PP-SP) will remain as the rapporteur for the Anti-Falsification Bill, which was introduced by the government to Congress in October. The bill had previously passed through the Chamber of Deputies but was returned for further analysis after senators made amendments to its contents. The bill is now holding up other legislative matters in the Chamber, which are pending review. It is anticipated that the bill will be voted on in the upcoming week as both government and opposition seek to engage with the proposal.
