Author of the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) of the Administrative Reform, federal deputy Pedro Paulo (PSD-RJ) says that the resistance of sectors to the limitation of penduricalhos hindered the collection of signatures to register the project. Faced with the difficulty, the president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB) entered the field in coordination with the leaders.
The text was presented 20 days ago, and needs the signature of 171 of the 513 deputies to begin processing. According to the deputy — who was rapporteur of the working group that dealt with the issue in the House —, the coordination of groups of civil servants weighed on the acceptance of the project among parliamentarians.
— It’s very perennial, it’s a very open house, so the guy goes there and looks. For example, we had it last week, the week before last and this is the movement of public defenders. You have the Judiciary there wanting to move. Notary offices are also moving — he reported to GLOBO.

With a drop in the signatures collected, the deputy says he had to launch the “anti-penduricalho operation”. The president of the House, , acted personally to change the perception of the leaders, stated Pedro Paulo. The proposal is treated by Motta as his great legacy as President of the Chamber.
— He (Motta), who commanded the anti-penduricalho troop, has been calling personally, speaking to the leaders — says deputy Pedro Paulo.
With the direct action of the President of the Chamber, there are around 20 signatures left to reach the 171 necessary, according to the rapporteur.

In addition to the coordination of groups affected by the reform, there is also resistance from the government base in Congress to the proposal, at the risk of criticism from public servants for supporting the text. The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) did not comment on the text, but has already criticized points such as the civil servant bonus.
— The Chamber went through a sequence of votes that were controversial votes. So the deputy is wary, he doesn’t want to have controversial votes. The ideal world for many people is that they only vote on the project to exempt up to R$5,000 from Income Tax (IR) — says Pedro Paulo.
The text brings a series of changes to the public service, such as the restriction of so-called “hangings”, remunerations beyond the constitutional ceiling, such as vacations exceeding 30 days for judges and prosecutors. Points such as limiting the number of commissioned positions and a performance evaluation model with bonuses for civil servants are also foreseen.
The reform is structured around four main axes: governance and management, digital transformation, professionalization and extinction of privileges. The justification presented by the rapporteur points out that the objective is to modernize the public sector, reduce distortions and align Brazil with international experiences that link budget and policies to concrete results targets.
