The emergency aid in the amount of R $ 300 will continue to be paid until December 31. Once the benefit payment is complete, the Federal Government can implement a new program. The expectation is that by then the Citizen Income is created. Or that the Bolsa Família program be expanded.
Initially, the federal government proposes that the new social program replace the Family scholarship and emergency help. The text that creates the program has already been submitted. However, due to the funding model, the program has not advanced.
According to information from the blog of columnist Sadi, members of the Bolsonaro government are looking for a solution to end the emergency aid, since it promoted an increase in the popularity of the president. However, the economic team maintains that it is not possible to maintain the payment of aid without breaking the spending ceiling.
What is the value of the possible new program?
The new program should replace Bolsa Família and be a kind of continuation of emergency aid. However, the government is currently facing difficulties in defining how to finance Citizen Income. After speaking publicly about Renta Ciudadana for the first time and considering ways of financing, the market did not react well and the government backed down.
According to Lauro Jardim, from the newspaper O Globo, the president warned Guedes about the substitute for emergency aid. According to the columnist, the president stated that the substitute, which should begin to take effect in January 2021, cannot be less than R $ 300 per month, present value of residual emergency aid.
Bolsonaro may resign from Renda Brasil
This week, President Jair Bolsonaro reconfirmed that the emergency help it will not spread. In addition, the chief executive confirmed that it will not be possible to create a new income distribution program, with the idea of ”slightly increasing” the current Bolsa Família assistance program.
According to Bolsonaro, the aid paid to vulnerable people due to the crisis caused by Covid-19 has an emergency nature and Brazil has the capacity to borrow and cannot be “unbalanced”.
“Whoever talks about Renda Brasil, I’ll give him a red card, 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 extends and extends and extends,” said the president, adding that “it ends now 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.
