The Minister of Institutional Relations, said this Thursday (26) that the government () will not appeal the decision of the minister of the (Supreme Federal Court), which is parliamentarians.
Padilha said that the decision was analyzed by the AGU (Attorney General’s Office), which came to the conclusion that it would not be necessary to present appeals.
The head of the government’s political articulation also said he believes that the (PP-AL) will be to prepare a response to Dino’s decision.
“AGU carried out a detailed assessment, did not indicate any need to appeal this decision, so it will comply”, stated the minister, in an interview with TV Fórum.
The AGU had informed that it would analyze the possibility of appeals and that it would provide all the information that had been requested by Dino.
Padilha also stated that the amendments crisis had made some progress, citing in particular the law that framed the growth of parliamentary amendments within the rules of the fiscal framework and also ending the previous format of the so-called Pix amendments.
“Maybe it’s not ideal, because the Supreme Court also has what it sees as ideal, Congress what it sees as ideal, the government what it sees as ideal. Sometimes, if you just focus on each person’s ideal, you won’t be able to move forward nothing,” he added.
This Thursday, Lira called a meeting with leaders to discuss Dino’s decision.
Padilha said that the meeting will probably be to develop a response, to “equate” some issues.
On Monday (23), Dino ordered the suspension of the payment of R$4.2 billion in parliamentary amendments and also ordered the opening of an investigation to investigate the release of these amounts, “so that the facts are adequately clarified”.
The decision opened a new front in the crisis between Congress and , around parliamentary amendments.
Dino responded to the representation that presented new facts regarding the payment of commission amendments — the target of criticism and previous decisions by the minister himself due to the lack of transparency.
The representation cites a letter sent to the federal government and signed by 17 party leaders from the Chamber of Deputies. The document detailed the indication of 5,449 committee amendments.
This set of amendments totals R$4.2 billion and would be distributed, according to PSOL, “without prior approval and formal registration by the commissions, under the pretext of ‘ratifying’ the indications previously presented by the members of the commissions.”
Ministerial reform
Padilha also declared that President Lula should evaluate his government’s performance to promote possible changes in ministries, making a comparison with a football coach at the end of the first half.
The minister defended that this assessment takes into account performance and deliveries in the first years of office and also with the aim of increasing the support base, with an eye on the 2026 presidential elections.
“I advocate that we look at this second half with these two views. First, an assessment of deliveries, what the president says about the timing of the harvest […] A second assessment is about the political framework for 2026”, he added.
