Brazil’s National Congress followed an amendment to the Constitution that defines situations for a “state of emergency” in the country, allowing the government to suspend social security payments until the end of the year.
The draft constitutional amendment was debated temporarily and not without controversy before being passed on Wednesday and signed into law on Thursday (July 13), the last week before the legislative recess.
The text foresees a construction of R$ 200 in the social assistance of Auxílio Brasil, paid monthly to low-income people, taking it to R$ 600 until December of this year. The bill also introduces an aid of R$ 1,000 for autonomous truckers, BRL two hundred for taxi drivers, accumulation in the fuel voucher for cooking and a condiment for the Alimenta Brasil food program. Also included is investment for loose public shipments for the elderly and reimbursement for states that ease the tax burden of biofuels.
A state of emergency had to be declared because, by law, the government will not have to create new social benefits or distribute cash in an election year, unless it is in a state of emergency.
The Government maintains that this resolution “derives from the ordinary and unpredictable increase in the prices of oil, fuels and their derivatives, as well as the social impact that this entails”.
According to the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Senator Rodrigo Pacheco, the bill is the result of Congress’ efforts to assist those most in need. in recent months in almost every country in the world. “
Senator Pacheco attributed the economic crisis to the war between Russia and Ukraine as the “slow recovery of global distribution and logistics chains, seriously undermined by the COVID-19 pandemic. “
The number of Brazilians in poverty or extreme poverty reached 47. 3 million, or 22. 3 percent of the population, in a decade, he said.
Although a large number of opposition lawmakers have called this resolution an electoral policy, given that the accumulation of social benefits will not last long, the bill was overwhelmingly passed by the opposition in both chambers. It would be inconsistent to vote against any accumulation in benefits for the poor, members of Congress argued.
