247 – Amid controversial actions to save the state from a deep financial crisis under his administration, the governor of Paraná, Beto Richa (PSDB), is now considering selling stakes in state-owned companies such as Copel and Sanepar to raise funds.

According to an interview with Valor, the Secretary of Finance, Mauro Ricardo Machado da Costa, said that the shares sold would be those from the "surplus of control" of the State, which would generate an estimated revenue of R$ 950 million, according to "Valor Data".

At the end of April, the governor approved the bill that promotes changes in the funding of ParanaPrevidência, the social security system for civil servants in Paraná state.

The proposal was approved in the Legislative Assembly of Paraná (Alep), amidst protests that ended with more than 200 public servants injured in an attack by the Military Police.

The law authorizes the government to transfer 33 retirees paid by the Financial Fund, which is supported by the state treasury and is in deficit, to the Pension Fund, which is paid for by civil servants and the government and is in surplus. This would result in savings of R$ 1,7 billion per year in pensions.

Teachers are against the project because they say it will harm the retirement of civil servants in order to "save the government's accounts." This group represents 70% of the state's civil service (read more). closest).
