Deputies and senators approved, this Thursday (27), two bills from the National Congress (PLN), authored by the Executive. PLN 14/2025 opens additional credit of R$42.2 billion for Social Security and the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight Against Hunger. 
According to the government, the additional money is needed to honor this year’s commitments for social security benefit programs and Bolsa Família. Of the R$42 billion planned, 52% will go to Social Security and 47% to social assistance.
In the same session, the National Congress also approved PLN 31 of 2025, which increases the number of permanent positions in the Ministry of Education (MEC) by 8.6 thousand.. This proposal also includes salary adjustments for positions and the creation of commissioned functions for the security forces of the Federal District and the Superior Court of Justice (TSJ).
Federal deputy Erika Kokay (PT-DF) celebrated the approval of PLN 31 saying that the project values the safety and population of the country’s capital.
“The PLN will ensure that the agreements that were made at the negotiation table with the Military Police, the Fire Department and the Civil Police of the Federal District can have budgetary support”, he explained.
On the other hand, senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN) criticized part of the government’s proposal that establishes resources for credit operations to supplement Bolsa Família and Social Security to be incorporated into the Union’s budget by presidential decree.
For him, the measure will increase public debt in search of R$12 billion more for Bolsa de Família. “The government proposes that this resource be incorporated into the Union budget through decree, that is, it will literally allow a blank check without acquiescence, without consent, without supervision by the Federal Legislature”, he added.
