A video released by the minister () about the release of R$217 million to maintain the activities of the (National Social Security Institute) caused discomfort in the municipality.
The announcement was made after the body, subordinate to the ministry, reported in mid-October that it had requested social security benefits due to budget restrictions.
The INSS’ attitude increased tension with the ministry. The president of the institute, Gilberto Waller Junior, was appointed in April directly by Palácio do Planalto without the participation of Social Security, amid the scandal over the collection of social security benefits.
In the video, the minister states that, after meetings with A and A, he managed to release the resource, which would help honor surveillance and cleaning commitments and beneficiary service centers.
Under reservation, members of the INSS criticized the fact that they were not consulted about the negotiations involving the release of the funds and stated that the institution’s financial directorate did not participate in the alignment meetings.
In the video, Wolney mentions the INSS’s substitute president, Lea Bressy, and states that she decided to transfer R$7 million from the ministry’s budget to the INSS’s coffers.
“With this, we will make payments for the September period of the civil servants’ bonuses”, he states. “I sent the executive secretary, through our secretary Adroaldo [Portal]tighten our belts, reduce expenses and with that we managed to allocate R$7 million to the INSS.”
He also says he will try to resume the PGB (Benefit Management Program) later this year. “It is worth remembering that for the year 2026 there are already resources duly reserved to continue the program”, he states.
When contacted, the Ministry of Social Security said that it “is unaware of any dissatisfaction related to the budgetary release requested by the INSS itself”.
“The authorization from the Ministry of Planning and Budget was created in conjunction with the body”, he concludes.
