Parliamentary Front proposes to include current officials in administrative reform | Politics

The Mayor, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), and the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, participated in the event. It was the first public meeting of the two since the “reconciliation” dinner last Monday (5), in which both apologized for the recent friction.

The government proposal sent to Congress in September does not reach current public servants or those who will be admitted to public service before the rules are promulgated. PEC also does not affect the stability or salaries of these officials.

The text provides new rules only for future servants of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial powers of the Union, states and municipalities.

The reform sent by the government also leaves out the so-called “members of power”: parliamentarians, magistrates, prosecutors, prosecutors and the military. According to the government, these categories are subject to different rules than the others.

The document is based on three axes: reduction of distortions, modernization of the people management process and legal certainty, with short and medium term objectives.

In addition to the inclusion of current employees and members of the Power, the front defends other changes in the PEC presented by the government. According to lawmakers, the changes that will be suggested in the amendments to the bill include:

• prohibit paid vacations for electoral disputes;
• prohibit retirement and life pensions;
• allow the payment of a stay bonus to be optional;
• establish the need for a selection process for most leadership and advisory positions;
• determine which complementary law will regulate the loss of office, not a law for each entity, as suggested by the government’s proposal;
• resume Public Schools requirement, withdrawn at PEC, but with no expected impact on career plans;
• eliminate the possibility of extinction, transformation and merger of direct, indirect, self-sufficient and foundational administrative bodies.

Caio Paes de Andrade, special secretary for Bureaucratization, Management and Digital Government of the Ministry of Economy also participated in the act in the Black Room of the National Congress; the president of the front, Deputy Tiago Mitraud (Novo-MG), and the vice-presidents of the front, senators Antonio Anastasia (PSD-MG) and Kátia Abreu (PP-TO).

In addition to these changes to the proposed amendment to the Constitution, the group argues that other proposals should be dealt with by simple bills, which are faster and depend on fewer votes for approval.

The parliamentary front advocates, however, that these texts be presented “in a second moment”, after alignment with the rapporteurs of the issues. This is because many of the proposals are already underway in the Chamber, in projects presented on other occasions.

See parliamentarians’ proposals by topic:

• Reduction of ‘distortions’ – The parliamentary front defends the regulation of the categories, through a project that is already underway in the Chamber. However, the details have not yet been agreed with the rapporteur.
• People Management – The parliamentarians suggest the creation of a Central Body for Personnel Management Policies, an idea that will still be presented to the Executive Branch. In addition, the group supports a “modernization” of the public tender. In this case, there is already a bill that has been in the Chamber since 2003.
• Legal security – The front also proposes the improvement of the Law of Administrative Improbity. The idea is to take advantage of a project that has been developing in the Chamber since 2018. Without giving details, the parliamentarians affirm that the proposals for change will be presented to the rapporteur on the matter.

Filed for more than a month, the PEC has not yet begun to be processed in the Chamber because the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ) has been paralyzed since March, to avoid crowds in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
