Overview
- During a Colégio de Líderes meeting, Pedro Uczai felt unwell and lost consciousness, prompting immediate first aid from colleagues and the Chamber medical team before he was taken to Hospital DF Star for tests.
- Medical exams at DF Star identified an ischemic stroke in Uczai's left cerebellum, and his team says he is conscious, oriented and clinically stable without motor or cognitive deficits.
- The Chamber president canceled the planned votings after the incident, which interrupted the leaders' meeting and prevented finalization of the Ordem do Dia that would have set the day's agenda.
- The postponed measures include a priority government-backed PLP to reduce or exempt federal fuel taxes that had been under negotiation to also cover incentives for fertilizers and minerals.
- This occurred during a concentrated week of legislative work ahead of the elections, and the interruption could force leaders to reshuffle the agenda in coming sessions and press the Senate for quick follow-up.
