Representative Rosangela Moro (União-PR) filed this Friday (12/19) a request requesting the creation of a Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) to investigate the expenditures of the Ministry of Culture in programs and commissions related to the department. In the document, the parliamentarian highlights signs of manipulation of administrative structures and deliberate weakening of control mechanisms.
“What is being debated is not cultural policy, but respect for taxpayers’ money. State structures cannot be used to serve energy projects, nor can public resources function without effective supervision,” said Rosangela Moro.

The deputy questions the creation of the National Program of Cultural Committees and its regional offices, as well as the selection of private entities in the decentralization of resources for the implementation of public policies in the cultural sector.
“Projects worth tens of billions of reais began to be evaluated based on minimal criteria, often limited to formal verification of physical execution, without the necessary documentary verification of the expenses incurred. By requiring proof of specific intent as a condition for disapproval of accounts, an inspection model was created that makes accountability practically impossible,” the request states.

Political use
Rosangela Moro calls for an investigation into “the possible use by political or electoral parties of administrative structures, programs, committees and resources linked to the Ministry of Culture” and into “the normative and administrative changes that have resulted in the weakening of the mechanisms of control, inspection and accountability of cultural projects financed with public resources”.
“Relaxing rules does not mean modernizing management. Weakening control opens the way to waste, misuse of resources and loss of societal trust. Brazil has already learned that lack of control is costly. We cannot repeat the mistakes that erode societal trust and weaken the state,” the MP said.
