A nossa Medida Provisória teve como origem o decreto italiano, com as características daquele instrumento do Poder Executivo num modelo parlamentarista de governo. No Brasil, por questões mais políticas, ao invés da adoção do nome \"decreto\", preferiu-se \"medida\", justamente para diferenciá-lo de outro instrumento que era utilizado no país, mas com outros princípios e motivações, denominado Decreto-Lei. Assim sendo, a Medida Provisória é tipicamente um decreto, nos termos daquele nascido no sistema parlamentarista da Itália, tendo como fundamento a urgência, excepcionalidade, adoção pelo Presidente da República, com força de lei por determinado tempo, caso não seja aprovada pelo Congresso Nacional.

The government issued a provisional remedy (measure)

We don\'t know if this is preliminary or not. It might be, assuming the government latter issues a permanent measure. Or, it might lapse without any permanent measure every being issued.

medida provisória
Medida Provisória (MP)


Explanation:
I'd leave it in Portuguese, use an acronym should it be repeated in the text, and explain in a Note what it is, since this is a genuine Brazilian product: a law issued by the Executive, as per Article 62 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution, that will stay in effect for a period of 60 days if it's not approved, etc.

No use to look for equivalent expressions in English. For further explanations, refer to:

  -> Yes, the concept is common, but the MP has so many unique characteristics that the use of a generic translation may mislead the reader. For this reason, it's better to keep the original name and explain.
