Mines 247 - The government of Minas Gerais is awaiting legal clearance to send a bill proposing a 7,64% salary increase for education workers. According to Representative Durval Ângelo (PT), the State Attorney General's Office blocked the increase due to the Fiscal Responsibility Law. 

The parliamentarian reported in June that the Executive would send the proposal this month, but as of Wednesday (30), the text had not yet reached the Legislature. “That’s what the government had said, but the AGE has said that the LRF prohibits sending this project. The government has complied with the Minimum Wage to date and will continue to comply. It acknowledges that it owes the 7,64%,” he stated at the time. The reports were published in the Estado de Minas newspaper.

According to the Workers' Party member, there is no new timeline for when the text will be sent to the Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais (ALMG). "Only when the Attorney General's Office approves it."
 
The congressman emphasized that the government will fulfill its promise to pay the minimum wage, but cannot exceed the legal limit for payroll spending. "In these two and a half years, the Fernando Pimentel government has given an average increase of 54% to education. The highest in Brazil," he added.
