Valmir appeals against debt forgiveness granted by Temer.

Bahia 247 - The latest measures taken by President Michel Temer's (PMDB) government to forgive debts of large corporations have stirred up the political scene this week, so much so that Bahia federal deputy Valmir Assunção (PT) filed three different complaints against these actions with the Attorney General's Office (PGR). Along with other PT deputies and senators, the parliamentarian deconstructed the context created by the federal government that reduces agrarian and social policies, claiming a lack of budget, "but forgives billions in debts of large businessmen, ruralists and corrupt individuals". This Friday (6), Assunção said that the current government's claim of an acute crisis in the country's economy "is just another tactic to take from the poor and give to the rich. Something that this group in government was already doing before the PT governments".

The three complaints submitted to the Attorney General's Office are against Provisional Measure 793, which reduces the debt of rural producers to the Union; another questions the Federal Court of Accounts regarding the paralysis of the National Agrarian Reform Program; and another questions the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) on Funai/Incra. In this last case, Valmir emphasizes that the ideal solution is to annul the effects of the CPI report, which, according to him, erroneously indicts more than 100 people, including anthropologists, indigenous people, religious leaders, and even federal prosecutors. "It's a lack of respect for the original peoples of this country. They dismantled the Ministry of Agrarian Development, weakened Incra and Funai, and are arming the large landowners to oppress the poor people who are fighting for land and the right to survive," he says.

In one of the representations, PT politicians point out that Michel Temer's Provisional Measure forgiving debts of businessmen indebted to social security is a disrespect to the principles of morality and legality. "In a context of an alleged terminal crisis in social security, as adopted in the ostentatious official advertising of the federal government, to try to justify a proposed constitutional amendment with a serious affront to the principles and rights of Social Security and Social Assistance beneficiaries, with a restrictive impact on access to social protection for the poorest segments of society, the benefit of negotiation and amnesty of debts of rural producers represents a measure disrespectful to the principles of morality and legality to which public managers are bound, as well as to the principle of equality that guides the standards of Public Administration," points out the document, signed by PT congressmen.
