Tarso attempts to recreate positions abolished by the courts in Rio Grande do Sul.

The governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Tarso Genro (PT), will attempt to recreate the 155 appointed positions (CCs) that were eliminated by the courts. The new proposals were submitted to the Legislative Assembly between last Friday and yesterday and surprised many by proposing salaries higher than those previously established for 23 of the positions. Previously, these employees' salaries ranged from R$ 1,9 to R$ 3. If the new proposal is approved, they will increase to the range of R$ 2,5 to R$ 4,5.

"It's very audacious to recreate the CCs with higher salaries when the government claims financial difficulties in meeting the demands of military police and teachers," criticized Deputy Giovani Feltes (PMDB). The government, which has a majority in the Assembly, maintains that the elimination of the positions would make the operation of new functions created in January unfeasible and that the financial impact of the change will be small. It also justifies the new values, for higher-level employees, as an adjustment to the demands of the Justice system, which declared the mid-level functions unconstitutional.

At the beginning of the year, the Assembly approved the creation of 391 appointed positions, agreeing with the Executive's argument that the positions were necessary for the new administrative structure of the State. On August 22nd, in a judgment of a direct action of unconstitutionality filed by the PMDB caucus, the special body of the Court of Justice abolished 155 of the new positions, understanding that their creation was not accompanied by a description of their respective duties.
