On Wednesday (3), during the vote on the LDO in the Mixed Budget Committee, the department was included by highlighting the legal expectations of real growth in expenditures with a fund of up to 2.5% per year retroactive to the 2016 value – a new order that will increase the fund by R$ 160 million next year, according to chamber technicians. Deputy text decider Gervasio Maya (PSB-PB)However, he said the impact could be larger and reach R$200 million.
The rapporteur had taken a position opposing this change, which he described as ridiculous. “In a country where we need more street infrastructure, more affordable housing, and many other things, increasing the party fund by between R$150 million and R$200 million is ridiculous. I did not follow the report and voted against the highlights that were presented. We need to know what the priority is for the country. Increasing the party fund, in my opinion, is not a priority, it is ridiculous,” the rapporteur declared.
