The current president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, said this Wednesday (15) its intention to double the amount referring to food stamps for public security employees.
This positioning aims to act in a compensatory way in relation to the 5% salary increase, which had been promised, however, was not fulfilled.

As already mentioned, when interviewed for a YouTube channel, Bolsonaro reveals that the increase in the benefit “It’s pretty much fixed”. However, the details regarding how much this will cost the public coffers were not presented, which turns out to be worrying.
As it is an election year, the Government may not have enough time to implement all its promises. What happens is that electoral laws and the Fiscal Responsibility Law veto a series of government actions when it comes to an election year.
In order for this promise to become real, all of its procedures need to be completed by July 3rd, leaving less than three weeks to complete the entire process. Considering that, for the readjustment to take place, a change in the 2022 Budget Guidelines Law is necessary, and this needs to be approved in a joint session at the two Houses of Laws (Chamber and Senate), in addition to being sanctioned by the president himself, this whole scenario points to the realization of this promise being quite unlikely.
According to representatives of this class, their salaries have been frozen for more than five years. In view of this, they themselves consider it a great disrespect to readjust only the food allowance, especially in relation to retirees, who will not even have access to this readjustment.
Today, the amount for this aid is only R$458 per month for all active employees. Its last readjustment took place in 2016, being well below what is currently needed in Brazil, even more so when taking into account inflation in the food sector.
