A meeting was held between Paulo Guedes, Minister of the Economy, and President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) to discuss the details of Renda Brasil, a new government program that will be officially launched soon. The last meeting did not end in consensus.
The Minister of Economy warned Bolsonaro that Renda Brasil can only be an average profit of more than R $ 300 if the deductions of income tax (IR) of individuals are extinguished.
Renda Brasil, which will replace Bolsa Família, had its details presented by Guedes. The minister presented proposals for fees ranging from R $ 240 to R $ 270. For the minister, the amount depends on the termination of other programs. But President Bolsonaro is pressing for the value to be at least R $ 300.
According to Folha de S. Paulo, the minister foresees that up to 27 programs and social benefits will be reformulated or terminated for Renda Brasil to be created. Even so, even in the best scenario, the benefit would not reach an income of R $ 300. Currently, the average amount of Bolsa Família is R $ 190.
The government’s economic team also estimates that Renda Brasil is more comprehensive. Currently, Bolsa Família serves approximately 14 million people. The expectation is that Renda Brasil will reach between 6 and 8 million more people.

The new program should be launched as a kind of replacement for Bolsa Família. However, the economic team also advocates cutting other programs, such as Farmácia Popular and the salary subsidy.
“We cannot do that there, for example, the issue of allowances for those who earn up to 2 minimum wages, which would be a 14th salary, we cannot take this away from 12 million people to give it to Bolsa Família, Renda Brasil or whatever. call this new program, ”Bolsonaro continued. The president also disagreed in the debate on the extension of emergency aid.
