Brasília - Minister of Political Coordination, Aldo Rebelo, says that Congress had a good year and the results of legislative activities during the first half were positive. He pointed out that the government had managed to clear the decks. "What happened during this legislative session was not just good for the government. I really believe it was very good for Brazil that so many important bills got voted on in both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies," said the minister.
