They also just aproved a cap on the growth of minimum wage as well. I think it was about 2% max per year. The Brazilian congress is fully controled by the right by the way.

Yep. The ministeries also

Although Lula can appoint a few of the minister how he wants the majority must be appointed by the right in congress, else they block everything Lula tries and then do even worse things than normal.

Lula could get the people on the streets to try to put pressure in at least somethings though but doesn't do it at all.
