Boulos: With this government, it's the poorest people who pay the price.
The national coordinator of the MTST (Homeless Workers' Movement), Guilherme Boulos, said on Twitter that "the end of the Ministry of Cities is also the dismantling of urban policies in Brazil"; "This year's budget for Housing: R$4,2 billion (in 2014 it was R$15,7 billion). For basic sanitation: R$271 million (in 2014 it was R$1,7 billion). Drastic reductions. The poorest people are the ones who pay the price," he said.

"Making Temer's proposal even worse, Paulo Guedes' team wants to exclude sick leave time from retirement calculations. Instead of addressing the privileges of the top branches of government, they want to make workers who get sick foot the bill," he stated.
