The threat forcing Haddad to make fiscal adjustment on the poor loin if the Supreme Court does not authorize that congressmen steal money from the public.
Last weekend, we all had the impression that the Lula and Congress government had come to a good deal on how to make fiscal adjustment without that IOF confusion.
In the middle of the week, everything has changed: Congress warned that nothing will pass from the interest of the government. What happened?
They continued them: instead of moving so much in the IOF, taxing some investments that were not taxed at all; and revise billionaire tax benefits to companies that are very rarely required to offer any counterpart. Good money would be saved, and the biggest sacrifice would come from people who are well of life, like me, who always invested in LCAs (agribusiness letters of credit, who will now pay 5% tax).
Congress had already stifled all this, more or less. But there they took the guys stealing money from medicine.
Three NGOs specializing in combating corruption – ASSOCIATION Open Accounts, Transparency Brazil and International Transparency Brazil – warned the STF that Brazilian congressmen may be using their parliamentary amendments to steal billions of reais in a “”.
Last June 10, Minister Flávio Dino to Congress.
Congress interpreted Dino’s request as an orchestrated action with the Lula government to intimidate parliamentarians. That’s why Hugo Mota and several right -wing parties have changed their minds about the Haddad package.
No, it is not because they are concerned about increasing the tax burden: one of the reasons for their taxes to be high, reader, is the default that the law allows the rich. If they do not pay their part in the kitty, it increases the part of the pays. The government may be forced to cut money from the poor (I think it will be), but that should be the last option.
Bolsonarists like Nikolas Ferreira and Carlos Jordy ran to make it look like the fight with Haddad was on public deficit. Since the failure of the last blow, and while waiting for the next, the congress -pouting pockets as the centrão security guards.
By the way, I have serious doubts if Dino’s action was really coordinated with Lula.
Firstly, because the NGO complaints are very serious, and Dino’s role, in this case, was really asking for clarification. After all, the Constitution clearly establishes that it cannot go to the hospital to steal money, it is wrong, it can not, nor Ives Gandra, who sometimes invents some business about constitution, thinks it can.
Secondly, because I doubt the Lula administration, at this point in the championship, is wanting to buy a fight with Congress. If at some point in his third term the president had the hope that he could restore the power of the presidency over the budget, he must have given up.
He had a secret budget, had pockets protecting the center, had STF trying to maintain some order, had rich without paying tax and poor without medicine. It was a week when the news was worth a contemporary Brazilian policy course.
