Seventy-Five to One

This week, in Brazil, seventy-five senators said yes to the forty-hour week, in both rounds, and one said no. Aki: who? Old Tane: Bolsonaro's former vice-president, a retired general; jobs will be lost, he says. The bill needed 49 votes and got 75. Lord Ozen: even the presidential candidate switched to yes, nobody dares oppose! Aki: one dared.

Brazil's 40-hour week passed the Senate 75 to 1 in both rounds, far above the 49 votes needed, with government and opposition alike behind it because polls show it is popular; the lone no was Hamilton Mourão, a retired general and Jair Bolsonaro's former vice-president, who says workers will lose jobs and the state will lose revenue, while presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro switched position and voted yes.
