Last Wednesday (14), Jair Bolsonaro's government sent a letter to the transition team to remove around 2.5 million beneficiaries from the Auxílio Brasil register. The person who leaked the information was the former mayor of São Paulo and future Finance Minister Fernando Haddad in an interview with GloboNews.
Haddad did not give further details about the request or the current government's motivation for making such a request to president-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
“The Auxílio Brasil project was not designed to combat hunger, but to maximize the number of votes“, said the new Minister of Finance, reporting that single people have received the same amount of social benefits as entire families in recent months.
“Now we have received a letter from the government ordering the cancellation of the registration of 2.5 million Brazilians. Why were they included if they did not fit the parameters of the law? It's almost like a confessed crime“, completed Haddad.
According to former minister Tereza Campello, who is part of the transition's Social Assistance working group, the cause of this increase in illegal registrations in Auxílio Brasil was the “wrong design” of Bolsonaro's program, with a significant increase in beneficiaries close to the election for President.
After the elections, the current government published a normative ordinance to “verify” the regularity of these services, said Campello.
In this way, 2.5 million people were included who do not need the benefit and who will have to present themselves to regularize their registrations from January onwards during President-elect Lula's term.
They ignore errors and the possible correction of these errors without notifying the communities that will have to respond, said Campello, remembering that the initiative was a normative guideline published in the Official Gazette of the Union and not a letter addressed directly to the transition.
Another fanciful allegation by the transition group concerns a supposedly abnormal growth in the number of single-person families benefiting from Auxílio Brasil, said the note. It should be noted that any irregularities, once identified, have always been and will be corrected immediately, as is the practice of this management.
Last Tuesday, the 13th, the Ministry of Citizenship had already released a note regarding the matter, following statements by members of the transition's Social Development technical group, where they stated that it is “the accusation that the Federal Government included 2.5 million people in Auxílio Brasil shortly before the elections is false, demanding the future of the government a review of benefits and possible cancellations”.
In the interview, Haddad also explained that the current government removed the INSS filters for offering benefits, considering that this does not mean that the concessions are irregular.
