The directors of and promised on Tuesday (25) to (Supreme Federal Court) individualize the name of the authors of the rapporteur and commission amendments to try to unlock the execution of these resources.
These for not identifying the parliamentarian responsible for deciding how public money would be spent.
In response to the Supreme Court, the Congress has listed measures that will be adopted to give more transparency and traceability to these resources, such as the standardization of minutes with the decisions of state benches and thematic commissions about the choice of how funds and spreadsheets will be spent so that deputies and senators indicate the beneficiary.
The legislature is also committed to approving a resolution project with these regulations and determine that the committees vote, until March 31, to agree how the 2024 amendments were distributed or if they want to modify them.
The payment of commission amendments became because party leaders sent a letter to the government jointly by signing the authorship of all amendments in an attempt to keep them under secrecy. Now they promise to vote on the indications and individualize the author.
The promise occurred in response to Minister Flávio Dino’s questions about the actions adopted to ensure the traceability of parliamentary amendments to the budget. The initiative marks an attempt to disregard Congress relations with the judiciary after the election of the new presidents of the Chamber, (Republicans-PB), and the Senate, (Brazil-AP Union).
“Throughout this process, the Federal Senate and the House of Representatives have seriously participated, procedural loyalty and good faith, assuming the responsibilities that compete and seek to comply with the determinations of this Supreme Court and this eminent rapporteur,” said the Advocacy of the two houses in the process.
A conciliation hearing between the Congress and Dino summit is scheduled for Thursday (27) and the expectation of the legislature is to leave the meeting with the release of parliamentary amendments. The distribution of the House committees and the voting of the 2025 LOA (Annual Budget Law) project are depending on this decision.
In the STF petition, Congress also attached a work plan negotiated with the executive branch with the deadlines and information necessary to adapt the transparency portal to the new rules of dissemination of the authors and supporters of the amendments.
The discussion on the subject has been dragging on since last August, when Flávio Dino determined the suspension of payments until there were measures to ensure more transparency to these resources.
