This week, President Jair Bolsonaro reconfirmed that the emergency help it will not spread. In addition, the chief executive confirmed that a new income distribution program will not be created and stated that the idea is to “slightly increase” the current Bolsa Família assistance program.
According to Bolsonaro, the aid paid to vulnerable people by the crisis caused by Covid-19 is of an urgent nature. According to him, Brazil has the capacity to borrow and cannot be “unbalanced.”
“Whoever talks about Renda Brasil, I will give him a red card, there is no more talk,” Bolsonaro said in an interview with the presenter of the TV Band José Luiz Datena. Renda Brasil was the program planned by the Government to replace Bolsa Família.
“The aid is emergency, the name itself says it: it is emergency, we cannot continue to signal that it will spread and spread and spread,” said the president, adding that “it ends in December.”
When referring to the fact that now the focus will be the Bolsa Família, Bolsonaro confirmed what he has been saying to the economic team: “We will try to increase that a little.”
The president also argued that the country has to keep its accounts to avoid rising inflation, “the most damaging tax that exists for everyone,” he said.
Guedes has holidays until January 8
Economy Minister Paulo Guedes was guaranteed vacations from December 18, 2020 to January 8, 2021. According to Poder360, the authorization was granted by President Jair Bolsonaro.
If the country is experiencing a second wave of the covid-19 pandemic, it remains to be seen if the minister will truly enjoy the holiday. Therefore, any decision by the federal government on the continuation of emergency aid in January should not be made until the minister returns.
However, Paulo Guedes says that the government will take the necessary measures if the Ministry of Health recognizes a second wave.
“There was a cooling down and the death toll has risen again. There was some celebration of the people who may have caused a recurrence of the disease. As soon as Health declares if we are in a second or a recurrence, we will be in another scenario and we will have to respond as forcefully as it was in the first crisis, “he said, in a hearing at the Mixed Commission of the National Congress that monitors the cope with the covid-19 pandemic.
