Pressured by several categories of the public service that charge salary readjustments, President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) again promised this Monday (2) to increase the number of people summoned in PF (Federal Police) and PRF (Federal Highway Police) competitions. ).
In a conversation with supporters in front of Palácio da Alvorada, Bolsonaro called the Minister of Justice, Anderson Torres, and asked for an “additive” to expand the vacancies.
The government held contests with 1,500 vacancies for each career. Bolsonaro promised, on more than one occasion, to call another 500 PF candidates and the same number for the PRF.
In the conversation with Torres, he suggests that he wants to double the number of people summoned, in addition to the public notice. Questioned, the advice of the Ministry of Justice has not yet confirmed the request.
“Do you have the capacity… to move to a thousand each? Do you think it can be resolved? Then make an additive, ask for a thousand spaces, since you are at your limit, for a thousand spaces for each side. Can that be?”, Bolsonaro said. to the Minister of Justice.
Bolsonaro’s speech was released by pages of supporters on YouTube.
Bolsonaro’s repeated unfulfilled promises have displeased the entities that represent PF agents.
The president even planned to grant readjustments only to agents of the PF, PRF and Depen (National Penitentiary Department) this year, but he backed off and is studying a linear increase of 5% for federal servants.
The percentage “displeases everyone”, Bolsonaro said last Friday (29).
Dissatisfied with the readjustment proposal and without progress in negotiations, Central Bank servers should resume the strike indefinitely from Tuesday (3).
In the call to the minister, made in front of supporters, Bolsonaro also asks Torres to talk to the Economy about increasing police vacancies.
Bolsonaro told supporters that the new vacancies were unlocked with the approval of a bill in Congress that opens credit for personnel expenses. He stated that he could publish this Monday (2) the summons of the agents.
The summoned agents must still go through the police training course.
Last week, Bolsonaro again tried to get away from criticism of categories that charge a readjustment above 5%. He also asked for understanding and suggestions from the population.
“I put the problem on the table. Come on, I’m now waiting for your suggestions”, said the president in an interview with the radio station Metrópole FM, in Cuiabá (MT).
The president stated that he is studying equalizing the career ceiling of federal highway police officers and federal police officers.
“How will the Federal Police behave? Are they going to say they are against it? Go on strike? I ask everyone who is listening to me: put yourself in my place, present alternatives,” the president told the radio.
“I want to help all servers in Brazil, I’ve always defended the readjustment. But there’s no way to give more than we have at the moment [5%]costs R$ 7 billion”, he also declared last week.
as anticipated the SheetBolsonaro decided, in a meeting on April 13, to grant a 5% readjustment to all federal public servants from July 1, even without enough space in the Budget.
The 2022 Budget has only reserved the amount of R$ 1.7 billion for readjustments or restructuring of civil servants’ careers this year. Bolsonaro’s idea was only to privilege police officers.
“The study quickly leaked and other categories, which are important, started threatening the government, ‘let’s stop Brazil,'” Bolsonaro said last Friday.
The total cost of the 5% linear adjustment is estimated at R$7.9 billion in 2022, which will force budget cuts in other areas.
“I am not the owner of the bic pen to solve this problem,” Bolsonaro said in another part of the interview.
The president acknowledged, in the same interview, that the increase aimed at police officers could be questioned and overturned in court, “given that I am privileging categories that are sympathetic to me.”
