Belo Horizonte has until December 31 to adjust its quotas, under penalty of losing the Social Security Regularity Certificate, without which the municipality would be prevented from receiving federal resources and indebtedness.
The deadline for enactment of the changes was September 30. The city of Belo Horizonte, however, managed, with the Ministry of Economy, to extend the deadline until the last day of this year.
Parliamentarians oppose reform
That Wednesday (9), the vote did not take place due to the absence of enough councilors to continue the process. In the plenary sessions of the two days, the parliamentarians approached the microphone to defend their positions.
Gabriel Azevedo (Patriota) was one of the voices in favor of the reform. “A text that thinks about the future of the city. Without cleaning up our accounts and without thinking about how to balance the municipality’s expenses, the people who need it most will be the ones who will suffer the most, ”he said.
“The municipalities could take the initiative to face the setback approved in our country. Our firm position is against the pension reform ”, said Bella Gonalves (Psol), in a less mandatory way, imposed by the federal government, to approve the local reforms.
For the pesolista, the second round discussions should involve an alternative quota proposal, which is far from the 14% proposed by the City Council and, also, from the model presented by Lo Burgus. “It is very important to open the dialogue, so that we have a better resolution for public servants,” he said.
Loss of the certificate can bring losses
As the State of MinasIf the Social Security Certificate is lost, the city could be prevented from obtaining federal resources, such as those that will promote the rain containment works on Avenida Vilarinho, in Venda Nova.
“This brings us several problems. We stopped carrying out new credit operations, loans that PBH comes to negotiate and funds from agreements that we already received, such as Vilarinho, from BRT. We will also let compensation funds come in. it would provide social security in the amount of almost R $ 1 million per month. These are amounts transferred by the Union, either in the form of voluntary transfers – agreements – or in the form of guarantees for credit operations, “explained Gleison Pereira de Souza, Subsidiary of Gestos Preventivos in Belo Horizonte. .
