Brazil’s ruling party is expediting a vote to increase workers’ weekly rest days in the Senate. This move occurs less than three weeks before the presidential runoff election. The opposition strongly criticizes the measure, labeling it as opportunistic and a political tactic. The initiative is seen as an attempt to gain favor with voters before the second round of voting. It is specifically aimed at reversing the current advantage held by Flávio Bolsonaro. The Senate vote is therefore politically charged and closely watched as the election nears. The government hopes this labor measure will swing support in the upcoming ballot.
