After giving up on the Social Security reform – amid federal intervention in the security area of the State of Rio de Janeiro, a measure that prevents changes in the Constitution while it is in force – ministers of the economic area now study changes in pensions that do not depend on constitutional amendments, said journalist Miriam Leitão in her blog on the website of the newspaper “O Globo” and in her participation in TV Globo’s “Bom Dia Brasil” program earlier.
The changes could be made during the federal intervention in Rio without even having to suspend the “state of exception”, says the columnist.
According to her, the ministers have studied measures that can improve the situation of the public accounts without moving on the Brazilian Magna letter. The idea would be to prioritize simpler procedural issues, without depending on the approval of three-fifths of each house of Congress in two rounds, as is the case of amendments.
The focus now would be on rules that change the benefit calculation and bring some fiscal relief in the future.
