Minister Flávio Dino, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), decided, this Tuesday (12), to maintain the suspension of payment of parliamentary amendments to non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
The decision was taken after the minister received a report in which the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) pointed out several irregularities in the transfer of resources for amendments to the Union Budget in the period between 2020 and 2024.
According to the survey, which was requested by the minister himself, there are amendments directed to a specific organization, absence of public call or competition for projects, lack of operational capacity to carry out activities, lack of transparency in the application of resources received, among others irregularities.

Given the report, Dino gave ten working days for the Chamber, the Senate and the other parties in the process to comment on the data. Then, the same deadline will be given to the Attorney General’s Office (PGR).
“I emphasize that, until the case is returned to this rapporteur for further deliberation, all transfers to NGOs audited by the CGU, referred to in the 4th Technical Report, remain suspended”, decided the minister.

In December 2022, the STF understood that the amendments called RP8 and RP9 are unconstitutional. After the decision, the National Congress approved a resolution that changed the rules for distributing resources through rapporteur amendments to comply with the Court’s determination.

PSOL, the party that filed the lawsuit against the amendments, pointed out that the decision remains in non-compliance.
After the retirement of Minister Rosa Weber, the original rapporteur, Flávio Dino took over the management of the case.
In August of this year, Dino ordered the suspension of the amendments and decided that the transfers must follow traceability criteria. The minister also ordered the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) to audit the transfers made by parliamentarians through amendments to the secret budget.
