Parliamentarians complain about the government’s delay in committing (authorizing for payment) the R$ 3 billion that the ministry inherited from the extinct rapporteur’s amendments, known as the secret budget. This amount is under the control of minister Nísia Trindade.
To assuage the pressure, the Lula government has opted to expedite the payment of individual amendments, to which all parliamentarians are equally entitled, even in opposition. Health has already disbursed R$ 2.4 billion of the R$ 11.3 billion foreseen in this year’s Budget in this modality.
To journalist Bernardo Mello Franco, Nísia Trindade said he won’t give up of control over the ministry’s discretionary budget, coveted by parliamentarians. “I’m very relaxed, but I have a biography,” she said.
