Gov't struggles to approve Welfare in Congress

São Paulo, 3 - The government is preparing its allies to vote the Welfare reform in
second round in Congress tomorrow. By Wednesday, Welfare minister, Waldeck
Ornelas, will gather PFL and PMDB deputies in an attempt to explain the fiscal
adjustment measures and reinforce the urgency of the reform conclusion. In addition
to completing the vote on the proposal, which has proceeded in Congress for over
three years, the government also aims at conceding the fiscal austerity program some
credibility and show that investors are supportive of Congress. The government
hopes that a virtual victory help halt the continuous outflow of dollars and facilitate
Brazil's negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Ornelas announced
yesterday that the rural sector contribution to the Welfare system is also to be
changed so as to avoid fiscal evasion and frauds. (O Estado de S. Paulo/ Jornal da
