Majority in the Supreme Court votes to determine the reactivation of the Amazon Fund.
According to a lawsuit filed by opposition parties, the Jair Bolsonaro government is failing to release R$ 1,5 billion from the fund.
247 - The majority of ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) determined this Thursday (26) the reactivation of the Amazon Fund, which receives donations for investments in preservation and monitoring projects in the biome. The resumption of funding should occur within 60 days. The information was published this Thursday (27) by G1 portal.
According to a lawsuit filed by opposition parties to the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government – PSB, PSOL, PT, and Rede – the federal government is failing to allocate R$ 1,5 billion from the fund. The Supreme Court began analyzing the lawsuit on October 6th.
According to Justice Rosa Weber, the case's rapporteur, there is the "problem of unconstitutional omission" preventing the fund from functioning again. She cited the "active behavior of the administrator who established a regulatory framework that dismantled the previous one, without the legal safeguards for maintaining the minimum framework of duties and rights to a balanced environment."
"I understand the appropriate jurisdictional measure, for the initial solution to the problem, to be the suspension of the application of the provisions that altered the governance model of the Amazon Fund. It is up to the Union to take the necessary administrative measures to reactivate the fund," he added.
