The approval of the health and fight against endemic diseases, with an estimated billion-dollar impact, goes against the discussion about one, says the director-president of the (Public Leadership Center), Tadeu Barros.
“At a time when there is a consensus on the need for a new pension reform, the Senate is going in the opposite direction, creating yet another category with different rules,” he says. “This not only generates an immediate fiscal impact, but also an incentive for other categories to do the same.”
The vote on the project was announced by the president of the Senate, (União-AP) hours after the vacancy in the STF (Federal Supreme Court). Alcolumbre pressed for the president (PT) to nominate the senator (PSD-MG), his ally.
The text was approved by 57 votes to zero. Now, the text goes to the vote.
Although there is no specific calculation on the impact of the proposal, the Ministry of Social Security estimates that the values would be around R$25 billion in increase in the first ten years. The estimate was made based on a PEC (proposed amendment to the Constitution) with similar content to the Senate project.
