Why It Matters
The Constitutional Fund is a Union budget transferred to the Federal District to pay for education, security and health.
The base text preserves the Constitutional Fund of the Federal District, establishing that the limitations and fiscal prohibitions of the proposal do not apply to the amount transferred to the DF.
This Friday morning (13), the governor of the Federal District, Celina Leão (PP), said that the preservation of the fund is "the result of strong political articulation".
Senators still need to analyze the highlights of the fiscal adjustment, that is, the changes made to the proposal, and finally vote on the final text. Voting is expected next Tuesday (17). After the vote, the text goes to the Chamber of Deputies for analysis.
The Constitutional Fund is a Union budget transferred to the Federal District every year, to help pay for essential services (education, security and health).
The rapporteur of the fiscal adjustment project, senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM), presented his report for the base text on Wednesday (11). On Thursday (12), moments before the vote, he welcomed changes suggested by DF senators, such as Damares Alves (Republicanos-DF) and Izalci Lucas (PL-DF), which deal with the protection of the fund.
Therefore, the text expressly says that the changes in fiscal adjustment do not apply to the annual contribution of budgetary resources allocated to the Constitutional Fund.
