The courts release federal funds for Salvador.
The capital had R$ 40 million blocked in the Union Budget due to having a 'bad name' in the Auxiliary Information Service for Voluntary Transfers (Cauc), a kind of credit bureau for municipalities; "Of what goes through Cauc, we have achieved 100% success in legal demands. What was pending has already been unlocked," says Mayor ACM Neto (DEM).
Bahia 247
Mayor ACM Neto (DEM) obtained a favorable ruling from the Federal Court to receive the R$ 40 million that had been blocked in the Union Budget due to the municipality having a 'bad name' in the Auxiliary Information Service for Voluntary Transfers (Cauc), a kind of credit bureau for municipalities.
The funds are earmarked for projects such as slope stabilization and the construction and renovation of sports facilities. The resources had been frozen since 2011, when, thanks to João Henrique (PP), considered the worst mayor in Brazil by popular opinion, the capital of Bahia was negatively impacted by the CAUC (Cadastro Único de Convênios – Single Registry of Agreements).
"Regarding what goes through CAUC, we have achieved 100% success in legal claims. What was pending has already been unlocked," said ACM Neto. Also through a court decision, the Democrat had already secured partial release of funds: R$ 1,3 million for the renovation and expansion of the Itapuã Municipal Market and R$ 14 million for the redevelopment of the Barra waterfront.
According to the mayor, the municipality has until March 29th to present the projects for the execution of the works. "We were successful in obtaining the release by arguing that it was necessary to give the city hall time so that it could be removed from the CAUC (Cadastro Único de Convênios - Single Registry of Agreements)."
The mayor just won't say when he intends to settle the debts that João Henrique left him as an 'inheritance'.
