The São Paulo City Council approved Wednesday (26), during the second vote, the reform of the social security system of municipal officials, one of the main flags of Mayor Bruno Covas (PSDB) to contain the pension expenditure in the coming years.
The text, which had already been approved in the first vote last Friday (21), had 33 in favor and 17 against. He needed 28 votes to be approved and now pbades Covas' sanction.
Moments before the vote, there was confusion and confrontation between city officials and guards, and one of the doors to the House was broken. glbad against the guards and the building of the municipal legislature. In a statement, the press office of the presidency of the House said that the Municipal Civil Guard had only reacted to the protesters.
João Doria (PSDB) had already tried to approve the reform before leaving office to stand for the São Paulo government elections, but to no avail, the protests of thousands of servers resulted in the postponement of the president's term. discussion. Fernando Haddad (PT) also tried to discuss this issue, but he ended up giving up under the pressure of functionalism.
The approved proposal raises the servers' rate from 11% to 14% and introduces a complementary system for those who earn more than the ceiling. (INSS $ 5,645.80) from the INSS
The pension deficit of the employees of the city of São Paulo is currently estimated at R $ 6 billion – and it increases by about 700 million R $ each year
Assuming that the city council sits in April, Covas said that without reform, taxes should be increased.
The bill approved by the House must generate an increase of $ 370 million per year because of the increase in the rate of servers. However, this should not lead to the elimination of short-term deficits.
At the last stage of text approval in the House, Covas changed the funding model, which slowed down part of the project. With this, the members of the mayor unofficially admit that the pension reform will give a break in the short term, but will be insufficient in the long run.
In the current simple distribution system, active workers cover the benefits of current retirees. The initial plan of the Toucan was to adopt a system of capitalization for new civil servants, in which each would have an individual account, so that pensions would be self-sufficient in the future, without depending on the contribution of other agents
. change would avoid the need to supplement public funds in the future. However, Covas management has estimated that the cost of transition from one plan to another would be very high and that the effects of the resolution of the deficit would be uncertain.
The initial project deficit would stop growing in 2025 to reach a
However, with the more lenient proposal, without the restructuring of the system, there will be no natural adjustment of the deficit.
The management of Covas has been criticized for representatives of the servers for the planning of the votes for dates close to the holidays. For them, it was an attempt to demobilize the category, which had gathered more than 30,000 protesters in the House in March, when the proposal was delayed by the advisers.
The municipality declared that its resources were subject to compulsory spending, with no margin for investment, which reinforced the need for social security reform.
Last week, Covas even sent a substitute for the text providing for this possibility.
The measure contradicts Doria's promise, which promised to withdraw money from the privatization of social investments, and was eventually withdrawn by Covas's Allied base. the resources generated by the reform should be used to fill the gap in municipal health spending. In the coming years, there remains little investment in new works – current management is trying to put an end to those left by the management of Fernando Haddad (PT).
Repercussion
Renowned Alderwoman Janaina Lima (Novo) said The bill is a breakthrough for the relief of fiscal pressure in the city. "I think the pension reform could not solve the deficit problem, but it is undeniable progress."
The opposition counselor, Cláudio Fonseca (PPS), said that the approval creates insecurity for the servers and that the creation of the entity in charge of managing the property being municipal is fragile.
"We have no governance for SampaPrev, which is the basis of badet management, we will badyze with our lawyers and, with the possibility of joining a mandamus brief, we will will do for sure. "
"On the badertion that the project will end the social security deficit, that the city will have vacancies in schools and hospitals, will have more services and more investment, which is wrong, but the population will pay in the next few years if this does not happen "says the advisor.
The vote took place under the pressure of those present in the plenary forums, who often interrupted the speeches of the councilors, whether they were in favor or opposed to the reform of the social security system.
When Social Security approval was already underway, waiter representatives threw false money notes from the floor, under the shouts of "sold".
Opposite the platform, supporters of the reform have sung songs of football fans.
Alderman Masataka Ota (PSB) also attracted attention at the meeting that approved the pension plan. In the morning of Wednesday, the video in which the city councilor is accused by co-religionists after his absence from the first vote on social security last Friday (21) was made public.
In the video, the counselor stated that when he objected to the mayor's social security project, he lost 20 executive positions. After the video was released, the advisor stated that Ota had no indication of positions in the city so she could not lose them. On Wednesday, during the second vote, Ota voted against the proposal of the town hall.
