President of the (Supreme Federal Court), the minister stated this Wednesday (4) that parliamentary amendments need to be traceable, have controllability and be part of structuring projects.

The court decision that authorized, with reservations, the return of payment for amendments that had been blocked since August.

Parliamentarians are pressing for the release of resources without the constraints imposed by the minister’s decision and demand the terms of the law approved and sanctioned by President Lula () last week.

Faced with the conflict, the government entered the field to try to avoid retaliation for the progress of the economic agenda in the Legislature. If the money blocked by the Supreme Court is not paid, the Ministry of Finance will announce it.

Of the R$7.8 billion in amendments that the government promised to release, around R$3.2 billion are “Pix” amendments.

The STF’s decision requires the presentation of a work plan on the use of the money within 60 days. The minister’s decision in full less than two hours after the opening of the virtual plenary. The trial began at 6pm this Monday (2).
