Davi Alcolumbre, president of the Brazilian Senate, is advancing two major legislative initiatives. First, he is proposing a project to limit which political parties can appeal to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) against decisions made by the National Congress. The proposal aims to restrict access to the STF by requiring parties to meet a minimum number of seats or comply with electoral performance thresholds, in an effort to reduce judicial interference in legislative matters. This move comes amid ongoing tensions related to the financial transaction tax (IOF) crisis and frequent challenges by smaller parties such as PSOL and Novo against congressional legislation. Second, Alcolumbre has scheduled a Senate vote for July 8 on a bill that would legalize gambling activities in Brazil, including bingos, casinos, and the traditional "jogo do bicho." This legislation, which has been debated for over three decades, seeks to regulate and authorize these forms of betting nationwide. The bill has garnered support from the Senate president but faces opposition from some lawmakers who cite social harms associated with gambling. The vote is set to occur before the parliamentary recess, marking a potentially landmark decision in Brazil's gaming and judicial landscape.
