Hamilton Mourão, Vice President of the Republic, said the government would grant emergency aid if it had the money to do so. The vice president supported Paulo Guedes, the Minister of Economy, who denied that the program is extended after December 2020.
“That story, right? Again, do we have money to pay? If we had money to pay, we would expand it, we would improve it, we would do anything. But, if you don’t have money to pay… and Minister Guedes is the owner of the safe and the guy who knows the situation we are in, ”said Mourão.
Rodrigo Maia, president of the Chamber of Deputies, also spoke on the subject. On his Twitter account, he shared a story about Guedes denying the extension beyond December and agreed. “The position of the mayor’s office is the same,” he wrote.
Maia supports Guedes after the “peace dinner”, which took place last Monday (5). The pacification of the two took place after a dinner organized by ministers trying to unite them. The approach aims to avoid obstacles in the agendas that the government is interested in passing in Parliament.
Initially, the emergency aid would pay three installments of R $ 600. It was expanded to two more installments of R $ 600. And more recently it has been renewed, now for more installments of R $ 300, which end in December. In this last extension, the beneficiaries will undergo a new analysis and must comply with the new requirements.

Paulo Guedes, Minister of Economy, denied that there is the possibility of extending the emergency aid again. The program was recently expanded to another four installments of R $ 300. Now, Guedes has guaranteed that the aid will not be extended until after December 2020.
“The relief plan and the state of disaster ended in December. There is no extension of the calamity. There is no such articulation for the extension of the aid. The minister discredits any information in this regard, ”explained Paulo Guedes during an event for journalists.
The War Budget and the decree of public calamity were in charge of allowing the government to adopt various emergency actions and increase public spending until December 2020, the month in which the decree ends. This increase in spending should be responsible for a “leak” in government accounts of R $ 900 billion this year.
Guedes did not comment on Renda Cidadã, a government program that should begin to take effect next year and that will replace Bolsa Família. Details about the new program are yet to be defined. The form of financing, for example, has yet to be defined.
Without mentioning the Renta Ciudadana, Guedes limited himself to speaking about the program that is now in force and about the state of public calamity. “He has an emergency plan and a decree of calamities that will last until the end of the year. And at the end of December all this was over ”, he concluded. The vice president said that if it had funds, the government would expand the program.
