Elected senator proposes stricter rules for granting benefits in election years

Federal deputy and senator-elect Sanderson (PL-RS) presented a bill that imposes stricter rules on the creation, expansion and granting of benefits in election years.

The proposal seeks to amend the Fiscal Responsibility Law and the Elections Law to reduce the use of public resources during electoral periods.

The measure is proposed amid recent announcements by the Lula government, such as the MP that prohibits betting and the adjustment to Bolsa Família just a few days before the election.

The deputy's text also provides for the requirement for prior demonstration of budgetary and financial adequacy, reinforcing the need for planning and responsibility in the management of public money.

According to the parliamentarian, the idea is to end the risk that benefits and measures with an economic impact are used to produce political advantages.
