While ordinary people perform miracles to buy rice and beans, which are missing or at the time of death, the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, argues that his boss, the President of the Republic, should receive “much more than he receives. . today”.
Jair Bolsonaro has a monthly salary of almost R $ 31,000, in addition to a palace, food, washed clothes, rheas to play with, a helicopter to take a ride to his son’s wedding and a corporate card that does not discriminate against public spending. You know, it’s a “national security” issue.
“The Presidency of the Republic, the Supreme Court, obviously have to receive much more than they receive today. For the responsibility of the position, for the weight of the duties, for the very merit to reach that position, ”said Guedes.
He defended the existence of a salary difference between admission and the top of the career, affirming that, in Brazil, this dispersion is almost “socialist”. And that it was necessary to promote meritocracy.
Well, Bolsonaro’s merit was that they voted for him. So in nearly three decades in parliament, he hasn’t shown much productivity to justify a promotion.
“There has to be a big difference in salaries, yes. How many make it to the STF or TCU?” There is no demerit for the ministers of the Federal Supreme Court and the Federal Court of Accounts, some of them competent jurists, but the appointment to positions in these courts, despite demanding legal knowledge, is political.
The salary of R $ 39.2 thousand for the Supreme Court ministers is, in theory, the ceiling for officials. In theory, why is it easier for a camel to go through such a hole in a needle than on the day when the magistrates, from the most diverse instances and spheres, receive the limit that was established for them?
The minister believes that maximum career salaries should be much higher to attract good professionals to the civil service. Taking into account the Brazilian reality, it is not possible to say that income of around R $ 31 thousand or R $ 39 thousand, with benefits and stability, are scarce. Not to mention that private initiative is exactly there for those who want to earn more gravel. Participation in public administration is of a different nature. It is not to pay the salary of a CEO or director of investment funds of a multinational.
Little is the minimum wage of R $ 1,045. But, on September 1, Guedes criticized, once again, the defense of the real increase in the minimum wage. “You are going to condemn people to unemployment,” he warned.
It should be remembered that SM’s valuation policy, imploded by the government of Jair Bolsonaro, was one of the most important instruments to reduce pornographic inequality in Brazil, one of the countries with the highest concentration of income worldwide.
Not all public servants have the same profile. Among those who win are those with a state career (such as magistrates, prosecutors, diplomats and tax auditors), who were protected by the Administrative Reform of Paulo Guedes.
The other group does not have the same protection, much less receive the same respect. It includes, for example, teachers, called by the then Minister of Education, Abraham Weintraub, “fat zebras.”
It should be remembered that Guedes himself described public officials as “parasites” of the national budget on February 7. “The host [governo] He is dying, the guy has become a parasite, “said Guedes, criticizing the policy of salary increases for public officials. Faced with the negative repercussions, he said that his speech was decontextualized and that he recognizes the quality of the service of these workers.
Inequality makes it difficult for people to see themselves and others as equal and worthy of equal consideration. It leads to the perception that public power exists to serve the richest and control the poorest. In other words, that the police and politics protect the privileges of the first group, using violence against the second. Over time, inequality leads to disbelief in institutions, which explains a lot of everything that is there, speak?
Translating: Today, in the midst of famine, in many places, a minimum wage buys 26 five-kilo sacks of rice, while the salary of a Supreme Minister buys 980.
