Key Facts
—The vote. Brazil’s Senate approved PEC 14/2021 in two rounds on July 14, 2026, by 73 votes to 1, with one abstention. It now goes to promulgation, which no presidential veto can stop.
—Two price tags. The Finance and Planning ministries put the budget impact at R$3bn ($585m) a year; press accounts cite the Social Security Ministry estimating an actuarial deficit of approximately R$27 billion over the first ten years (about R$2.7 billion per year).
—The pipeline. The same two ministries count nine bills in Congress worth R$111bn ($21.6bn) a year in combined spending and forgone revenue.
—Court threat. Finance Minister Dário Durigan said the government will likely go to the Supreme Court if the amendment names no revenue source.
