Senator Márcio Bittar (MDB-AC), rapporteur for the proposal for the creation of Renda Cidadã, said on October 6 that a text would be presented this week. However, the final version of the program can only be presented after the municipal elections.
“Anything can happen after the elections,” a source involved in the talks told Reuters.
The new program has been one of the current points of conflict between the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, and Congress. After endorsing, the minister denied having agreed with the program’s recent form of financing, which provided for the use of Fundeb and precautionary resources.
In the 2021 budget project, the government considered an increase of R $ 5.373 billion for Bolsa Família compared to this year’s budget, for a total of R $ 34.858 billion.

About 15.2 million families should be entitled to receive the benefit, up from 13.2 million in 2020. However, President Bolsonaro stressed that his desire is to increase the number of beneficiaries by about 8 million.
In order not to contaminate the discussion during the elections, the perspective is that the definition of the Citizen Income format and its source of financing will be postponed, whose second round will be on November 29, according to the source.
On October 2, in a statement, Paulo Guedes had indicated that the new program, Renda Cidadã, would be postponed after the elections.
“Now, you are in political season… You have 40, 50 election days, how are you going to get into this fight? 40, 50 days after the elections, it will be said that Renda Brasil will be R $ 300: “No, it is not enough, it is too much money.” Ah, so it will be R $ 190: ‘Ah, you can’t, down there too, it won’t work’. Is it time to discuss this? “, I ask.
