The reality of lobbying is inherent to the democratic rule of law, as the Brazilian Federal Constitution determines broad popular participation in decision-making. The need to legislate the matter is crucial for better control and transparency of the lobbyist’s activity, its regulation through law will mean the definitive removal and difference of such practice with the crimes of corruption and influence peddling.
