The theme of the time is the decision of the Central Bank (BC) to exclude pix keys from people who are irregular in the IRS.
A, but opponents Lula used social networks to assign the measure to the government’s economic team.
According to the bank, the measure seeks to ensure that names of people and companies linked to pix keys comply with the basis of revenue to curb fraud.
In the posts on Thursday, 6, allies of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) again endorsed that the measure-as well as the inspection idealized by the economic team in January-seeks to reach workers who use the transfer mechanism.

Without quoting the measure, announced by the BC on Thursday, Bolsonaro published in X (former Twitter) an ironic phrase: “Have you done your pix today?”.
His son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), made a direct criticism and cited the BC measure, attributing authorship to the federal government. “The Lula government never gets tired. Once again with measures and trap to disturb the worker’s life, ”he said.
Responsible for leading the opposition during the Pix crisis, with a video that related inspection measures to alleged new rates with more than 320 million Instagram views, Nikolas Ferreira said at X: “And here we go again.”

Pazuello went further and said that, in the future, there will be “coercion” based on religion and political opinion. “They claim ‘security’, but it’s pure coercion. Today is the CPF, tomorrow your account. And then? Religion, political opinion. Extremely dangerous situation for tax payer who is experiencing financial difficulties. In practice, the government is closing the siege. And it is not for the benefit of the population, ”he said.
Alied base reaction
Lula’s allied base reacted to opposition posts and endorsed that posts seek to revive the “fake news”About the pix spread at the beginning of the year.
Also by the X, the new minister of the Secretariat of Institutional Relations, Gleisi Hoffmann, said Bolsonaro’s allies provide “a disservice to the country and the people climbing lies.”

“The goal is to combat organized crime and the practice of scams on the internet. The opposition gives a disservice to the country and the people climbing lies on the measure, ”said Gleisi.
Another ally of Lula who positioned himself was Federal Deputy Daniel Almeida (PCdoB-BA), who said the opposition “once again tries to play against those who have honesty.” “They are attributing to the Lula government the new rules for use of Pix, which has nothing to do with people and companies that are owed to the IRS,” he said.
When the first opposition posts questioning the measure were widespread, the deputy chief of BC’s department of competition and financial market structure, Breno Santana Lobo, said the new security rules for Pix serve to combat fraud and not to restrict access to the payment environment.

Lobo also stressed that the banks should only exclude the PIX keys if there is evidence of fraud. If they do not follow the new rules, these institutions will be subject to penalties, such as fines.
“This measure is for us to fight fraud. It is not a measure for us to limit the use of Pix by people. So it has nothing to do with the person’s fiscal situation. If the person is paying tax, they are not paying tax. This has nothing to do with the use of Pix. What we don’t want is for dead people to use Pix. People who have committed frauds in the registration of the CPF and people with a registration problem and not with a fiscal problem at CNPJ’s CPF base, which is valid for the company as well, in the IRS, continue to use Pix. So it is a measure well focused on fighting fraud. It has absolutely nothing to do with restricting the use of Pix by people, ”he said.
