Overview

  • Deputies passed PEC 169/2019 to remove the current limit that only allowed pairing a teaching post with a technical or scientific role.
  • The vote cleared two rounds with wide margins: 386–15 in the first and 417–17 in the second.
  • The amendment was authored by Capitão Alberto Neto and reported by Maria Rosas, according to the Chamber’s records.
  • Under constitutional procedure, Senate approval without amendments would trigger promulgation without presidential sanction.
  • Chamber President Hugo Motta promoted the result with a meme referencing Virgínia Fonseca and Vinícius Jr., drawing online criticism and later deleting the post, according to reports.
