Three more days off
Since some dates are mandatory and others are optional, the calendar of national holidays is always subject to changes of some kind. What is currently being discussed in the National Congress is the possibility of promoting three commemorative holidays.
Through bills (PLS), parliamentarians send proposals. They undergo approval by the Federal Senate, later by the Chamber of Deputies until they reach the President of the Republic.
If the bills are approved, not only the year 2023 will be contemplated with the new dates, but also the later ones. Check now which are the commemorative dates that may become mandatory holidays soon!
Woman's Day
Many people think that Women's Day is a holiday, but so far it is not.
Being a celebration that always takes place on the eighth day of March, it is a milestone to celebrate the rights won by women during the 20th century. The bill that suggests that the date becomes a holiday belongs to deputy Hélio Leite (DEM / PA).
Indigenous Peoples Day
PLS 960/2022, by Deputy Fábio Trad (PSD/MS), proposes making April 19 a national holiday. The reason is to show the importance of indigenous peoples born and raised in Brazil, thus promoting their culture.
Black conscience day
Although it is already a holiday in some states, this day is an optional date. Celebrated on November 20th, the celebration was created to represent the pride of culture black people and the fight against racism. PLS 487/2017, authored by Senator Randolfe Rodrigues (Rede/AP), is being processed by the Federal Senate and justifies the holiday as a way of recognizing the struggle of the black population of Brazil.
