Governor Fátima Bezerra (PT) decreed the state of financial calamity in the Rio Grande do Norte. He also signed a series of other decrees, among which is the one that determines the return of affected executive officers. The decree on calamities aims to open dialogue with the federal government on the state financial crisis and to ease the laws on tax limits.

According to the governor, the decision to decree a calamity is based on the value of the state debt of $ 2.6 billion. This is due to delays with servers and vendors, maintenance of payroll and mandatory transfers in the health field. The budget deficit of R 1.8 billion is also one of the justifications for the decree. "This attitude of recognition of calamities by the decree we are reviewing today is the path we are seeking in the first place to create the conditions of governance of Rio Grande do Norte," he said. "This is not a decree that worries society, but a very transparent alert to the legacy of the harsh and serious reality of uncontrolled accounts."

With this decree, Rio Grande do Norte joins Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul and Minas Gerais as states that have formalized the "financial calamity". "The decree allows us to relax the deadlines that we must respect with the provisions of the law on financial responsibility, creates the possibility of a new dialogue with the federal government," said the Secretary of Planning and Finance , Aldemir Freire. Fatima's intention is to re-evaluate the offers, revise the untreated contracts and the leftovers, reduce the rents and prohibit the additional expenses generated by the new contracts and additives.

Other measures are described in the five other decrees announced. The objectives are twofold: to contain and reduce costs and to create "spaces for dialogue". Fátima has set an exceptional work schedule of 8 to 6 hours a day, except in the essential areas (health, safety and education services), without loss of salary. The intent is to reduce energy and water costs, maintenance and review contracts with outsourced companies.

Another decree concerns the rules relating to the badignment of servers to autonomous bodies, such as the courts, the courts, the Legislative Assembly and the public prosecutor's office. .

In order to estimate the number of officials badigned to the executive, Fatima Bezerra ordered everyone to re-introduce themselves to the original secretaries. Subsequently, a new badignment will be made with the decreed rule. According to vice-governor Antenor Roberto, it is more common for managers to give up servers in the opposite direction, which means saving staff.

The new government did not esteem the economy with these measures. The effects will be evaluated six months after the decrees, during which time they will remain in force if there is no renewal.

Governor Fátima Bezerra also instituted a "permanent negotiating table with officials". In his speech, he said that the measures that will impact the servers will be discussed at this table for the "joint construction of legislation". Another objective of the office is to negotiate the salary arrears of the servers for November and December 2018, the 13th salary of 2018 and part of February 13, 2017.

The table will count on the participation of the Secretary of State to Human Resources and Administration Virgínia Ferreira. According to Antenor Roberto, the executive will "lead" the measures, but the chart will have a role of "transparent process" in the bills.
