Ministry of Cities "maneuvers" against the PT (Workers' Party).
Deputy Nelson Pelegrino, from the PT party in Bahia, promised to submit a request to the Chamber's Budget Committee questioning why, according to him, the Ministry of Cities has stopped releasing amendments from PT parliamentarians; "This is pure negligence or a maneuver by the ministry," he says; the PP is one of the allies that does not guarantee a renewal of the alliance with the PT for Dilma's reelection campaign in October.
Bahia 247 - The chairman of the Foreign Relations and National Defense Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, Representative Nelson Pelegrino, from the Workers' Party (PT) of Bahia, promised to submit a request to the House Budget Committee questioning why, according to him, the Ministry of Cities has stopped releasing amendments from PT parliamentarians.
"This is pure negligence or a maneuver by the department," says Pelegrino in a note published in the Painel column of the Folha de São Paulo newspaper, in the edition of this Monday (6).
The Ministry of Cities has been controlled by the PP party since the beginning of President Dilma Rousseff's administration, and its first head was also from Bahia, Mário Negromonte, a federal deputy and president of the party in the state. The current minister is Aguinaldo Velloso Borges Ribeiro (a licensed federal deputy).
The PP is one of the allies that does not guarantee a renewed alliance with the PT for Dilma's reelection campaign in October. Like the other parties in the coalition, the Progressives are also demanding 'more space' within the government apparatus. The alleged blocking of amendments for the PT would be what's called 'friendly fire'.
