The new year that begins and the pandemic of the new coronavirus, with a high number of cases registered in the country, debated the expansion of the emergency help gaining more strength and followers across the country. Previously convinced that the benefit would not be extended this year, Economy Minister Paulo Guedes already points out that it is possible to extend the benefit, provided that certain criteria are met.
The confirmation was given by the candidate for the presidency of Câmara Baleia Rossi (MDB-SP). According to him, it will be up to Minister Paulo Guedes, as well as his team of secretaries, to present a suggestion for the return of the benefit.
President Jair Bolsonaro, following the economic line of the Government, may Chancellor a new extension of emergency aid. However, Bolsonaro makes it clear that the measure must be taken without opening the space of the Federal Budget.
In addition, the deputy Arthur Lira (PP-AL), also a candidate for the position of mayor, stressed that Bolsonaro’s support in the candidacy also pointed to the possible return of aid for at least one or two months. Baleia Rossi declared that “When Lira arrives and copies what I say, I don’t think she did it without an order from the Palace.”
New values and fewer beneficiaries
The Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, as well as the technicians of his portfolio, have stopped ruling out emergency aid. If before they did not work with a scenario in the program, now the benefit is already seen as one of the “last alternatives” of what they consider “a wide menu of measures”.
According to members of the Economy, the recreation of the emergency aid would not be consistent. The program cost R $ 294 billion to the public coffers and the government considers that it may be inconsistent to resume aid because the cities are now functioning “normally”, which was not the case when it was inaugurated, with the interruption of activities and the closure. trade.
According to a technician from the Guedes portfolio, an emergency aid was created so that informal workers do not starve while they are at home due to the pandemic. Now, he said that “taxi drivers are on the streets, cities are busy.” However, Guedes’ assistant said that the government does not want to give money for a funk dance. “There is even a funk dance. We are not going to give people money to go to funk dancing, ”he said.
The members of Economy reveal that it is necessary to verify if the increase in covid-19 cases in Brazil occurred due to the crowds on vacation or if it really is a “second wave”. Guedes reportedly told attendees that if Brazil registers 1,000 deaths a day over a long period and new restrictive measures are taken up, it will be difficult not to return with emergency aid.
If the Federal Government chooses to extend the emergency aid, it is probable that the installment payments will continue with the amount of R $ 300, or a little less. The expectation of the extension of emergency aid in 2021 increases.
Last Tuesday, January 26, the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, acknowledged that the emergency help could return in 2021 if the number of deaths from coronavirus continues to grow in the country. In addition, the minister revealed that for the benefit to return, the government must stop vaccinating the population. Even so, he stressed that this scenario is “the worst happens.”
To do this, Guedes analyzes the issue of increasing the number of cases from the following perspective: if the recent increase in cases of the new coronavirus was not a specific reflection of the holidays that took place at the end of the year. For this reason, the minister is currently outlining two possible scenarios.
