The press is reporting right now that the government is paying 5 million reais to deputies in the government's base to vote for this text.

The government's leader directs a 'yes' vote.
Desconhecido
Mr. president of the PT, PCdoB and PV federation directs a 'yes' vote.
Desconhecido
Our federation votes 'yes'.
Desconhecido
The majority directs a 'yes' vote.
This is a disgrace.
The press is calling it the 'panettone amendment', a 5-million-real panettone.
And the government is paying to have a tax increase voted here in this chamber at night.
Desconhecido
The tax that sugary drinks will pay will be equivalent to that on mineral water.
Desconhecido
Worse, it will be lower than that on mineral water.
Desconhecido
Mr. President, set a 2% cap.
Desconhecido
On the tax on sugary beverages—soft drinks—you jeopardize children's health.
Desconhecido
Gentlemen, mineral water will pay more than soft drinks.
Desconhecido
Are you retarded, by any chance?
Desconhecido
This is not acceptable.

So I want to draw attention briefly, because we are in a hurry to vote today.
This matter.
Mr. President, the bloc yields because there is divergence among the parties, but União Brasil directs a 'yes' vote.
And the first point that needs to be made is that it's a lie that soft drinks will pay less tax than water, because water has a 60% reducer on the VAT and soft drinks will pay the full VAT plus the selective tax.
So we must tell the truth.
Another point that needs to be made is the following: what is the point of exempting sugar in the basic food basket?
and imposing the selective tax on sugary beverages.
So we're saying that sugar has to pay zero, but the sugary beverage has to pay the full rate, plus the selective tax.
But wait, if the problem is sugar, what's the difference between having sugar by itself and having sugar inside a beverage?
And one more point.
Why selectively choose soft drinks and not include ice cream?
And not include Todinho?
If the problem is the harm a sweet causes to health, why choose one sector?
Because the government wants to raise revenue.
It's not a selective tax for health, it's for the public coffers.
Voting is closed.
Desconhecido
Yes: 221, No: 242.
Desconhecido
Two abstentions.
The text has been struck.
Mr. President, we are here, 9:40 at night, an hour ago, as Deputy Gilson rightly pointed out, we were in the middle of a vote of at least 20 billion reais, which did not have the text in the system, the vote had already started.
The president at least had a bit of shame, a bit of embarrassment, and suspended the session so the report could be posted.
So far there is no report.
And the session will continue as if nothing had happened.
We are deciding, the parliament of Brazil, deciding on at least 20 billion reais.
We can't even be sure, because there is no text.
