The Chamber of Deputies, the Federal Senate and ten political parties presented to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) (photo) a request to suspend the preliminary decisions of Minister Flávio Dino that interrupted the payment of mandatory amendments to the Union Budget.
In the request, Congress questions the legality and constitutionality of Dino’s monocratic acts and argues that the decisions were made outside of any context of urgency that would justify an isolated and non-collegial analysis.
“The decisions represent an attempt to control specific acts of the Public Administration and the Legislative Branch and cause immediate, direct and concrete damage to the public interest, as they paralyze public policies and works of utmost importance to the population and state and municipal administrations,” says the document.
Transparency
Dino determined this Wednesday (14), in Brasília, the suspension of the execution of mandatory amendments to the Union Budget until the Legislative and Executive branches create transparency and traceability measures for resources. For the minister, the suspension of the amendments is necessary to avoid irreparable damage to the public coffers. Last week, Flávio Dino also maintained the suspension of the so-called Pix amendments to the Union Budget.
In the understanding of the lawyers of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate and of political parties, Flávio Dino’s decisions cause irreparable damage to the public economy, health, security and the legal order itself, in addition to blatantly violating the separation of powers.
The request to the STF is signed by the Boards of Directors of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate and by ten political parties: PL, União Brasil, PP, PSD, PSB, Republicanos, Solidariedade, MDB, PSDB and PDT.
Flávio Dino’s individual decision will be analyzed starting at midnight during the Court’s virtual plenary session. In this modality, the ministers enter their votes into the electronic system and there is no in-person deliberation. The trial will end at 11:59 pm this Friday (16).
