The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), said that Congress will not be able to play “that game of poker that was the last time” and must, in line with President Jair Bolsonaro (without party), determine the value of the new emergency aid in R $ 300.
“The minister [da Economia] Paulo Guedes spoke at R $ 200 for the new aid, and President Bolsonaro announced R $ 300. And whatever the president announces, the government will have to find a way to do it, I think, ”said Lira in an interview published today in O Globo newspaper.
“Maybe [R$ 300] be the ideal value in everyone’s mind. And Congress is going to have to take a lot of responsibility for not changing that amount, so that the poker game that was played the other time does not remain: ‘I bluff and the other one pays’. Then it went from R $ 200 to R $ 600, “he continued.
Yesterday, Bolsonaro met with Senator Márcio Bittar (MDB-AC), rapporteur of the PEC (Proposal for Amendment to the Constitution) Emergency, essential for the government to pay new installments of the benefit. The trend is for the new emergency aid to be paid in four installments between R $ 200 and R $ 300.
In addition to the value of the fees, the number of beneficiaries of the program would also drop: according to Guedes, of the approximately 65 million who received aid in 2020, now, with the new model, there would be slightly more than 30 million. .
Last year, the aid began to be paid in installments of R $ 600, then it was reduced to R $ 300. Initially, the federal government’s plan was to pay installments of R $ 200, later increased by Congress to R $ 500. Later , Bolsonaro raised it to the final value of R $ 600.
For Lira, if the aid had been R $ 300, the benefit could still be in force.
“It gave a very strong boost to the economy, a little inflation in food, commodities, those things, which I think is unique. But I think that R $ 300 would be a good number for now,” he said. out of.
Expectations for March
In an attempt to attract the financial market, Lira also announced a schedule of matters to be approved in the short term. Among them are the so-called Emergency PEC (Proposed Amendment to the Constitution), which can allow the payment of new aid, and the Federative Pact, in addition to the 2021 Budget.
The mayor also expects to start the administrative reform project process, with approval by the plenary before the end of the first quarter.
“It is thus, with the unity, strength and work of Brazil and the Congress that we will make a truly better country,” wrote Lira on a social network.
