[SENATE] Day of Tiradentes

[Smyg]

Allow me to present a very simple bill. It does, in fact, explain itself.

Day of Tiradentes Federal Holiday Bill

Whereas the revolutionary martyr Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, commonly known as "Tiradentes", has been hailed as a national hero of the Republic since the 19th century,

Whereas said revolutionary martyr was unlawfully executed on 21 April 1792, a day dear to many Brazilians,

• Section 1. The 21st day of April shall annually be celebrated the Dia de Tiradentes, and shall be a paid federal holiday.

• Section 2. This bill shall go into effect thirty-one (31) days after passage.

[Flamelord]

This proposed bill has my approval. Regardless of ideology, we must acknowledge our heritage and celebrate the sacrifices made in the struggle for independence

[acecipher]

We also find this to be a good testament to our heritage. May our children's childrens remember the glorious men who gave us our freedom.

[Smyg]

We thank His Excellency the President and our Social Democratic comrades for their support.

Perhaps, given the clear bipartisan support for this, we could move this bill into the voting stage?

[Luc]

Sebastião do Rego Barros, President of the Chamber of Deputies

If there are no members of the house against it, we will now entertain an official vote on this bill.

[Smyg]

The Communist Party of Brazil (4) will naturally vote yes.

[Flamelord]

The Federal Union Party (93) votes Yes on the proposed bill.

[Red John]

While not too enthusiastic about making the day paid, ultimately that is a small sacrifice to honour the great sacrifice of this hero. Let us forever honour his memory and never forget the men like himself who laid the foundations for a free, democratic Brazil.

The Liberal Democratic Party (91) will vote yes.

[LordMoose]

even though this bill has passed the chamber the Partido Libertador will vote YES with all 15 of its members

we do though worry about the impacts to our industries that having this be a paided holiday will cause

[acecipher]

The Social Democratic Party (27) Will also vote Aye.

[Luc]

The Democratic Party (42) votes IN FAVOUR of this bill.

The Socialist Revolutionary Party (3) votes IN FAVOUR of this bill.

The Workers & Peasants Block (2) votes IN FAVOUR of this bill.

[Flaming Bolshevik]

Ação Integralista Brasileira (3) votes yes.

[Westar]

It is only just to honour national heroes of this republic.

The National Liberal Alliance (70) votes in favour of the current bill.

[Luc]

Sebastião do Rego Barros, President of the Chamber of Deputies

Due to an overwhelming majority, this bill passes, and is now sent to the Federal Senate for voting.

[Luc]

Fernando de Melo Viana, President of the Federal Senate

If there is no more discussion to be made on this bill, id like to formally entertain a motion to vote on this bill.
