By Reuters Staff 2 Min Read BRASILIA, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Brazil’s Congress will next week analyze a constitutional amendment that aims to revive emergency cash transfers to millions of the country’s poorest and most vulnerable people, Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco said on Thursday. Emergency aid to over 60 million Brazilians as the COVID-19 pandemic raged last year expired on Dec. 31, but a second wave of the virus and a faltering economic recovery have forced the government to extend it, albeit at lower rates. Pacheco was speaking to reporters after meeting with Lower House leader Arthur Lira and Economy Minister Paulo Guedes to discuss the emergency aid and cuts in other areas of the federal budget to compensate for the increased spending.
