About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
Mr. President, the PSOL REDE Federation advises "yes". Tonight is a historic night for the Brazilian working class.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
Many tried to prevent this matter from advancing, proposed constitutional amendments, proposed highlights to delay the process, lied to the Brazilian people wanting to defend the revival of our proposal, but we are here very happy with the agreement that was made so that this matter could move forward, with the commitment that this House is placing before the Brazilian worker.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
We will put an end to this inhuman work schedule, to this oppressive work schedule.
- For
About: expand representation of the working class in the National Congress
We will show that the Brazilian working class also has a voice in this House, which so often votes against the Brazilian people and tramples the dignity of workers.
Workers want time with their families.
Workers want rest. Workers want leisure.
Workers want opportunity. Today the far right is bitter... (Microphone turned off.)
Mr. President, the sheer gall, the intellectual dishonesty and the airport-windsock theater that the far right is staging in this chamber are very striking.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
The Leader, the President of their party, went to the press to say he would give his blood to prevent the approval of the end of the 6 by 1 schedule.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
If today we are voting on the 5 by 2 schedule, it is because they obstructed and prevented the vote on the 4 by 3 schedule.
Then they took a beating from the working class, took a beating from the trade union forces, took a beating from society and now they're putting on this theater, this embarrassing spectacle, this farce.
(Applause.) Workers and society are not fools and will send a message at the ballot box.
They are humiliated, those who, overnight, had to, last night — I ask for another 30 seconds, Mr. President, to conclude — change their position.
(Applause.) Humiliating, Mr. President, is becoming a Deputy teaching on the Internet how to do intimate waxing.
(Applause.) That is what is humiliating, and not changing one's position.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
What is humiliating is not defending one's own positions. Long live the Brazilian working class, long live President Lula and our fight for the end of the 6 by !

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
Thank you, Mr. President. I want to greet the social movements, especially VAT, the trade union forces, the Parliamentarians, President Hugo Motta and President Lula, who worked tirelessly to deliver to the Brazilian people and to the working class the reduction of working hours in this country.

Many acted against the people's interests, but the organized struggle, President Lula's commitment and the insistence of the social movements blocked any attempt to obstruct an advance delivered into the hands of the workers.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
The 6 by 1 schedule is inhuman, it robs hope and dignity and is even more perverse for women, especially mothers, and for the young community, who see themselves completely crushed under a work regime that does not allow them to have a life.
People need to work to live, not live to work.
Those who have always looked after the employer's interests, those who have always profited from the exploitation of the working class did not want to see this delivery being made.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
But President Lula's commitment, the commitment of our benches in this House, the commitment of the VAT movement, led by the great Councilor Rick Azevedo, who approached our office...

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
Recognition must be made: the LGBTQIA+ community is a major protagonist of this struggle, is a major protagonist of this delivery that tonight will be given to millions of Brazilians, to millions of families, to millions of people who said: "Madam Deputy, I want to see my children", "Madam Deputy, I want to live with my father, with my mother".
- Neutral
About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
Right here today, in the Chamber's plenary, some said: "Madam Deputy, I hardly saw my mother because she worked the 6 by 1 schedule, and I raised my sisters so my mother could work a 6 by 1 schedule, inhuman, at the end of the year, coming home at 2 a.m., at 3 a.m., because she worked in a store".
And we know what commerce is like during festive periods.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
Mr. President, we are joyful, we are happy because we made the enemies of the working class eat their words, backtrack, retreat in their positions, and recognize that this proposal is good for Brazil.
They, who have always attacked this proposal, were putting on this spectacle.
Today is a night of celebration and joy!
I want to thank my colleague Reginaldo Lopes and greet him — he introduced the matter before me and was a partner throughout this discussion; thank our President Alencar, who led our Subcommittee with mastery, with grandeur; thank all the people who believed it was possible to deliver something to Brazil.

About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
And finally, I am immensely grateful to our great President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, recalling that he took up this fight, placed himself alongside the Brazilian workers and will allow us to deliver this to the working class. Thank you, Mr. President.
