A chance for redemption

The parliament will soon start discussing the 2006 budget, as the minister of finance will make his presentation today.

The 2006 budget is based on the revenues projected according to the new tax code. Thus, while the code itself is in dormancy in the senate, the deputies can push the issue by revising the budget according to the old tax code. This would force the senate and the government to making a decision and moving on this subject.

Based on what happened in the confidence discussions, I wouldn't be too hopeful.
