Given the difficulties of the government in relation to the financing of the Citizen Income, the congressmen have supported the extension for another three months of the decree of public calamity. The deadline is December 31st.
With the extension, the emergency aid of R $ 300 could also be extended, in addition to giving the government more time to create the Citizen Income, a substitute for Bolsa Família.

We have our problems internally, we help the people of Brazil with some projects, due to the pandemic. you [Benítez] He did the same in Paraguay, right next door.

Paulo Guedes and emergency aid until 2021
