The former president, head of the bank, said that the institution will allocate R$5.75 billion to the State, however, part of the money was already agreed on projects closed during the Bolsonaro government
Rio de Janeiro councilor Carlos Bolsonaro (PL) this Saturday (May 18, 2024) criticized the president of the NDB (New Bank of Brics, its acronym in English), Dilma Rousseff, for the financial institution’s promise to allocate R$5.75 billion for the reconstruction of Rio Grande do Sul – affected by heavy rains.
As determined by Power360, more than half of the amount announced by Dilma to help with the reconstruction of Rio Grande do Sul was already agreed in contracts signed by the financial institution with the Bolsonaro government, and the amounts were merely reallocated. The model adopted for Brics Bank transfers predates the PT’s management.
Carlos Bolsonaro shared on X (formerly Twitter) news about the origin of the resources made available by the NDB. He wrote:
“Accusations, investigations, searches and seizures, arrests, statements exalted by democracy, speech labels and everything that the system does daily when it accuses others and never proves anything? Obviously not, this is Brazil and not Venezuela!”
Of the total amount announced by the president of the Brics Bank:
- US$ 370 million was closed in the management of Jair Bolsonaro (PL)when Marcos Troyjo commanded the institution;
- US$250 million was negotiated during the Bolsonaro government, but approved by the Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT)already under Dilma’s administration.
Read below the details of the transfers presented by Dilma:
The announcement of the resources was made through a video released by Dilma on her social networks on Wednesday (May 15, 2024). “I want to announce that we will allocate US$1.11 billion, the equivalent of R$5.75 billion, to help the state of Rio Grande do Sul and the people of Rio Grande do Sul, who adopted me more than 50 years ago, to overcome this tragedy”he said.
