Why It Matters
Candidate Allyson presents a proposal to transfer responsibility for licensing low and medium environmental impact projects from state agencies to municipalities, aiming to speed up processes and reduce bureaucracy.
The idea presented by the candidate is to decentralize the analysis of licenses for low and medium impact projects to municipalities. As a result, the Institute for Sustainable Development and the Environment (Idema) would focus on licensing larger projects.
According to Allyson, the measure can reduce bureaucracy and make investments more agile. He also stated that it is necessary to stimulate the state's economic development without neglecting environmental preservation.
"We are going to create a government with economic freedom. We are going to make sure that the State's licensing body, which is Idema, can focus on what is most strategic. And all those processes, which are of low and medium complexity, for example, a pharmacy, a bakery, a store, will all receive licenses from the municipalities, which we will authorize to license. Those small municipalities will also be able to join together in municipal consortia."
