the president union court bills, Bruno Dantas, said this Sunday (November 6, 2022) that the court is aware of the limits of its institutional competence. According to Dantas, the GTS operates in “technical and non-political field”. He made the announcement after the Chief Minister of the Civil Chamber, Ciro Nogueirato say that Congress cannot be “subsidiary bodymake gts.
“Minister Ciro Nogueira knows the TCU well and knows how much the court respects the legislature and is jealous of the limitations of its constitutional competence. Our field of activity is technical, not political, Dantas said Poder360.
Previously, Ciro Nogueira criticized the proposal to pay Auxílio Brasil 600 reais in 2023 without the approval of the PEC (proposed constitutional amendment) by the National Congress. The idea was proposed by the president-elect’s transition team, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva (PT).
According to the Minister, using possible approval TCU (Union Audit Chamber) to open an emergency loan, as a temporary measure, the new government will make the legislature “additional organ” Accounts Chamber when it should be the other way around.
Read what Ciro Nogueira said Poder360:
“Public finance technicians understand that in order to open an extraordinary loan in the traditional way provided by the Constitution, in the form of an exception to the spending ceiling, it is necessary to justify urgency and unpredictability. How to do this for current expenses like Auxílio Brasil? They note that the mere fact of a lack of resources does not seem to be sufficient reason to support the issuance of an emergency loan.
“Remembering that emergency loans for emergency assistance were supported by the PEC. The same technicians point out that the PTA, the deliberative body of the Legislature, cannot make the Legislature a subsidiary body of the PTA, as that would be a violation of the Constitution.”
SQUID PLAN
It is expected that the elected vice president and transition coordinator, Geraldo Alkmin (PSB), on Monday (November 7, 2022), introduce the possibilities to Lula. The decision on which path to take will be taken later, after analyzing the political scenario and the reaction of the TCP. For each option, the pros and cons are analyzed.
On the one hand, PEC can be used “on the party” politicians to increase spending beyond Lula’s proposals.
On the other hand, there are doubts as to whether the interim measure would comply with fiscal rules in addition to allowing ceilings to be exceeded, such as the golden rule (which forbids the government from borrowing to cover operating expenses) and the primary outcome of the target identified in the proposal. budget as deficit in the amount of 64 billion reais.
If the variant is for MP, the estimate is such that Lula will be legally vulnerabledepending on the interpretation of the law and a possible agreement with the top STF (Supreme Federal Court). This would make the new government less dependent on the Speaker of the House. Arthur Lyra (PP-AL).
PROMISE COST
The government’s elected transition team estimates that it will need at least BRL 85 billion beyond the spending ceiling in 2023. The amount will be a payment of 600 reais to Auxílio Brasil with a bonus of 150 reais for each child under the age of 6 and to fulfill the constitutional minimum investment in health.
According to the deputy Enio Verri (PT-PR), 175 billion reais will be required to pay for next year’s support with an additional amount per child, but only 105 billion reais are provided in the budget sent by the current government. . According to the congressman, they will still need 15 billion reais to reach the legal minimum in health care.
