in which it sought the approval of PEC 438/01 dealing with the issue of slave labor in Brazil.
After extensive meetings with the bench that is made by big businessmen of the field, it was agreed that the vote would be held the day after
9.5.2012, except that once again the bench businessmen field backtracked, saying that was not well explained what
