President Jair Bolsonaro confirmed this Thursday, 21, in a live broadcast on social networks, that the benefit offered to 750,000 truck drivers will be R$ 400, an amount advanced earlier by the broadcast, Grupo Estado’s real-time news system. Thus, the government should spend, according to the head of the Executive, “a little more” than R$ 3 billion in resources within the Budget.
“As it is on the verge of having another fuel adjustment, what are we looking to do? Right on the economic team. Some didn’t want it, didn’t want it, others thought it was possible. Give adjustment to truckers. What is decided so far? R$ 400 to 750 thousand autonomous truck drivers. Is this too much, is it too little? It’s possible”, declared the president, who had already announced the benefit earlier, but without offering details.
Bolsonaro stated that the new increase in fuel should take place as a way to avoid shortages. “It doesn’t have to be magic to see this,” he declared, attributing the phenomenon to the international market and the strong dollar. “High inflation is horrible. It’s terrible, but even worse is shortages.” In a change of rhetoric, this time the president did not cite ICMS as the villain of the rise in oil products.
Without directly commenting on the resignation of the Special Secretary of the Treasury and Budget, Bruno Funchal, and of the Secretary of the National Treasury, Jeferson Bittencourt, for dissatisfaction with the government’s decision to change the spending ceiling, Bolsonaro said, soon after revealing the amount from benefits to truck drivers, who “have a secretary, as sometimes happens with a minister, who wants to do his bidding”.
The head of the Executive also said that he hopes that the administrative and tax reforms, currently being carried out in Congress, will continue to advance.
