Minister Carlos Fávaro (), who commands the agriculture and livestock folder in the government (), was the parliamentarian who sent the most amendments to benefit the municipality of an ally mayor reelected in the last, shows survey of Sheet.
The report received by this set of cities in 2023 and 2024. In just one year, the licensed senator sent more funds to a reelected co -religionist than any other parliamentary in the two years, in values committed by inhabitant.
Fávaro, who is quoted to run for the Mato Grosso government in 2026, allocated R $ 29 million to the raft (MT), known as the “Pastel Capital”, in 2023. The city has only 7,426 residents and reelected Mayor Rogério Meira, also from the PSD, with 53% of the votes.
In total, 98% of the resources arrived through special transfers, the so -called PIX amendments, which are considered low transparency and fall directly to the City Hall’s cashier, to specific projects.
The amount is equivalent to R $ 3,956 per inhabitant, 46 times the country’s average (R $ 85) and double the second place, former Deputy Expedito Netto, current president of the PSD in Rondônia-who sent R $ 1,940 per person to São Felipe d’Oeste, where Mayor Ney da Paiol, of the same party, reelected with 75% of the votes.
A Sheet He sought the Ministry of Agriculture and the City Hall of Email, messages and calls during the last three weeks, but has not received an answer. The report questioned why the value of the amendments was so high, why they were sent via special transfer and where these funds were applied, among other questions.
Fávaro even appeared among the possible names involved in Lula, with his for the century of the deputy (-al) and amid a sequence of the parliamentary front of agriculture. His work, however, is well evaluated by the petista, and his departure is now considered unlikely.
The volume of resources sent by today Minister to Jangada, as a comparison, corresponds to 60% From the budget foreseen by the municipality last year: “I had the honor of being the second mayor who got the most resources in Brazil in special amendment,” said Meira in his possession.
The funds even turned into police case. In October 2023, three months after the commitment of the amendments, the mayor’s father, Edson Joel Meira, was kidnapped on a farm and doped. The delegate responsible, Antenor Pimentel, then said that the intention of the group was to ask the $ 28 million received in amendments – the suspects, who were arrested, did not explain how the money would be transferred.
Transparency experts point out that sending amendments to electoral strongholds is not a problem in itself, as in principle they were created to reach forgotten places by the federal government. The problem is a possible electoral use of these funds, for which the party and electoral funds already exist.
The proximity between Fávaro and the mayor of Jangada is public. The minister campaigned for the ally, attended an inaugurations battery in the city made possible with federal resources and invited the mayor to his birthday in Cuiabá ten days after his reelection.
“Special day with our vice president of the Republic Geraldo Alckmin [PSB] And brilliant minister Carlos Fávaro, great political personalities of this government that ‘most’ helped rafts, “said Meira on social networks by posting a photo with both.
Fávaro has a history of criticism for sending federal funds to allied Mato Grosso redes.
In 2023, the year in which he took office, the minister for the destination of the extinct rapporteur, who were considered unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2022 and transferred in part to the ministries. The case generated reprimands within the government itself.
At the time, Portal Metrópoles published that the roads that would be paved with these resources benefited farms by businessman Eraí Maggi, known as “Baron da Soja” and owner of the Bom Futuro Group, which also appears in the minister’s birthday.
The businessman is Fávaro’s political godfather with his cousin Blairo Maggi, former governor and former Minister of Agriculture of Michel Temer (MDB). The cousins were responsible for bringing the current minister closer to Lula until his appointment.
Sought, the Bom Futuro Group said it would not manifest itself because it is a political or personal matter of one of the shareholders. At the time, both the entrepreneur and the ministry said the group plants in most of the municipalities of MT, so any highway program in the state would probably encompass its land.
Raft also received a significant amount of resources via agriculture folder in 2023, in addition to the R $ 29 million in amendments from Fávaro. Rogério Meira’s management earned another R $ 23 million in an agreement signed with the federal government to improve roads (with counterpart of R $ 200 thousand from the municipality).
A year later, Fávaro traveled to the city for the inaugurations, the months of the municipal elections that reelected the ally.
“Yesterday was a ‘historic day’ for raft, because for the first time we received a minister of government in our municipality,” the mayor posted. “Fávaro is ‘people of people’, humble, hardworking, intelligent and very charismatic. May God bless you deeply my friend and now a Jangadense citizen.”
The last campaign also returned to electorally Fávaro and businessman Maggi. In the capital Cuiabá, the “Baron of Soy” supported the plate of petista Ludio Cabral, which was candidate for deputy Rafaela Fávaro (PSD), daughter of the minister. The duo, however, lost to Abilio Brunini (PL).
