Brazilian government allies push to fast-track Congress agenda before 2027

Brazilian government allies are pushing to fast-track priority legislation in Congress during the final two months of 2026, anticipating greater difficulty passing bills after the newly elected legislature takes office. Key priorities include approving a public security constitutional amendment, confirming a new Supreme Court justice, and passing a budget that accommodates President Lula's campaign promises. Centrão parties also want to address electoral system changes, criminal age reduction, and judicial reform. Government allies support keeping Hugo Motta and Davi Alcolumbre as chamber presidents, with elections scheduled for February 2027. The public security PEC is ready for Senate vote, while a Supreme Court nominee faces easier confirmation under the current congressional composition.
