The Minister of the Federal Supreme Court gave five days for the Minister of Management, Esther Dweck, detail how access to documents related to transfers of parliamentary amendments will be released, with schedule presentation and disclosure method.
The minister’s request comes after the (Attorney General of the Union) issued an opinion last week releasing access to information, which were restricted. With this, the Ministry of Management has committed to make available the data within 15 days.
The portfolio had stated, by joint note published this month, that it would make public “millions of documents about the use of public funds, including parliamentary amendments”.
Access to about 16 million documents had been restricted by the minister, as revealed by the newspaper O Globo. At the time, the folder justified the measure under the justification of following the LGPD (General Data Protection Law).
The ministry also said that it had begun a process of making available the attached documents of agreements and contracts included in Transfergov, a platform by which the union’s resources are made, and that this would occur in blocks within 15 business days.
Dino asked Dweck to clarify in the file the measures that were promised, detailing the methodology and execution schedule.
The decision was issued after the request from the Fenale (National Federation of Servants of the Federal, State and the Federal District Legislative Powers), Open Accounts Association, Transparency Brazil and International Transparency – Brazil.
In the document, the minister lists as an example of lack of transparency episodes of high transfers of and other third sector entities.
“The reported facts, if they are true, configure the perpetuation of practices that undermine transparency and traceability in budget execution,” he says.
