The pressure of canceled at the end of last year and rehabilitating remains to pay since 2019 faces criticism of the Government (PT).
According to reports collected by Sheetthe executive did not endorse the bill approved by, although the proposal was, Senator (PT-AP).
Even so, there is an assessment between government technicians that the text, which is now being processed, represents a smaller evil, since the original strategy of parliamentarians aimed at raising an even more significant value of amendments.
Government members were warned that congressmen aimed to rescue another R $ 3.8 billion in amendments provided for in the 2024 budget that were not executed, amid the comings and goings caused by the (Supreme Court).
Last year, the Court determined the suspension of amendments until minimal transparency conditions were assisted in the application of these funds.
When it was part of the money, it was a few days before the end of the year – what it generated.
Behind the scenes, the executive claimed a lack of time to commit all the amendments – the commitment is the first phase of the expense when the resource reservation is made.
Despite the justifications, parliamentarians blamed the government for what they saw as a deliberate action not to honor the funds indicated, using Dino’s decisions as a pretext.
Therefore, a mobilization began to try to replace these funds in the 2025 budget, but the government warned that there is no need to talk about resuming these amendments.
As they have not even been committed, they are not hung in the so -called remains to be paid (expenses inherited from previous years) and simply cease to exist.
Incorporating the value this year would necessarily imply reducing other discretionary expenses of the Executive. Meanwhile, congressmen, which already has $ 50.5 billion in amendments guaranteed for this year.
The proposal that was approved by the Senate has a lower range. It resurrects amendments whose execution had already been started. They were committed to the past, just not paid – that were registered in the remains to be paid.
On December 31, 2024, they were canceled by the Executive due to the end of the deadline for the completion of these disbursements. Congress even tried to secure in the 2025 Budgetary Guidelines Law (Budgetary Guidelines) the extension of this period by the end of this year, but the article was vetoed by Lula.
Now, the project allows the restoration of these remains to pay canceled. The National Treasury states that R $ 6.2 billion could be revalidated, of which R $ 2.3 billion in parliamentary amendments.
Of these, R $ 2.2 billion are from the former rapporteur amendments (RP 9), declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and R $ 59 million from Commission Amendments (RP 8).
Government technicians, however, claim that the potential for amendments is higher and reaches R $ 4.5 billion, as there were a portion of funds stamped by congressmen within the executive’s own actions.
The bill should enter the House voting agenda shortly after Carnival, even with Dino’s decision that validated the agreement suggested by the congress. The urgency – which accelerates the project analysis – has already been approved by the deputies.
The 2024 was one of the guidelines of the first meeting of leaders convened by the Senate President, (-AP). The main referral was precisely the vote of the project of the remains to be paid, which happened the next day in that house.
According to a senator heard under reserve, the complaints were two: first, for the non -payment of the amendments themselves. Second, by the government’s veto to the device included by Congress in LDO to extend the deadline for paying the remains by the end of the year.
Although contrary, the government considers that resurrecting the amendments canceled in 2024 is a smaller evil because they do not compromise the 2025 budget, they only require greater annual financial limit management effort to make disbursements.
As the payment ceiling will be the same, it is possible that there is a replacement effect: instead of paying a younger amendment, some older is paid. Nevertheless, there is still no certainty about the position of the technical area in a possible process of sanctioning the text.
