 Hello everyone, everything good? Responding to the survey we did: If deputies and senators who lost the election, can they indicate resources for the General Union Budget for 2023?

So, we are going to answer this question. First thing we need to know and understand the following. The budget is voted on in one year, for execution in the following year, then it is voted on, in one year, to be executed in the following year. It is voted on in 2021 to be executed in 2022, it is voted and approved in 2022 to be executed in 2023.

The budget law, the LOA, the Annual Budget Law, every year needs to have a budget law. She will establish how each indication of the budget will be given, from each of the parliamentarians, deputies and senators.

So, when the deputy or senator makes the nomination, in our case, for 2023, he will do so in the process of amending the budget legislation.

Então o executivo, o Poder Executivo apresenta ao legislativo a proposta de gasto e de entrada de recursos e o Congresso Nacional, deputados e senadores avaliam, faz emendamentos, emendam, colocam pedaços de proposições nesta legislação e nesses pedaços de emendamento, de emenda, ele vai colocar: – eu quero colocar 1 milhão na saúde, eu quero colocar 1 milhão, 5 milhões, 3 milhões na assistência social.

So, the parliamentarian, Deputy, Senator, establishes what he will do with that resource to which he is entitled.

This year now for 2023 the budget is 19 million and 700 thousand reais and some change, some broken, and he will say in the budget legislation that will be voted on now, now that I say, in the period between September and November of the 2022 financial year, he will establish: yes, I will send X to such and such a place, X to such and such a place, that's it.

Então o autor da emenda, é aquele que diz para onde vai cada recurso. Que é o deputado ou Senador, e nesse ano, tem deputados que vão fazer, são deputados serão deputados até a entrada dos novos, dos novos deputados e senadores que venceram na eleição.

So they are Deputies, for now they will vote on the legislation as deputies and they are the authors of these 19 million and 700 thousand reais. So these Deputies will indicate these resources to be executed in 2023 and they are the authors. So the question is: but they lost the election, how will that be?

Bem, o recurso, a votação da legislação ocorre no anterior, então no nosso caso 2022 e ela será executada em 2023, eles já não serão mais deputados, mas aquele recurso, a autoria dele, é desse deputados que ainda era Deputado quando eles aprovaram a legislação orçamentária.

So, these 19 million and 700 thousand reais are authored, who would be, let's say, let's put it in quotation marks, the owner of that resource, is the deputy and the senator, who is no longer a deputy and senator because he lost the election. But the resource in theory is his.

Então a indicação que ele fez agora, que ele fará, ainda não houve a votação nem aprovação da legislação, ainda continuará sendo dele. Então o que ele faz, ele vai, o mais inteligente que os parlamentares tem que fazer agora é primeiro, pensar como que eles vão distribuir esses recursos, porque, como eles não estarão deputado, eles não têm a prerrogativa, no período de execução, de acessar os sistemas do Poder Executivo e do Legislativo para dizer há aquele um milhão que eu ia mandar para saúde, vou mandar 100 mil para o hospital tal, trezentos mil para o Hospital X.

He will no longer be with the deputy to do this, so what he does he would have to have someone a professional who has access to the systems his password, so he has to change the password so that he can have access to the system and in the period of execution a person that he will pay or not, known to the other Deputy.

A person he will ask to follow up on these indications for him, so he continues to be an author in theory. The executive government will pay for his resource, because the budget is mandatory, it will pay this resource for him, but he will not be in the budget execution period that starts in 2023, he will not be a deputy because he already lost the election, so the monitoring execution, it becomes a little more reckless, which is why some parliamentarians make direct appointments to the institutions.

Instead of doing it generically like most parliamentarians do, a parliamentarian doesn't say that to send it to the hospital, okay, I'm going to send 1 million, he doesn't do that, he puts it in healthcare and during the execution period he goes there and distributes those 5 million that he put into healthcare he distributed 1 million to Hospital A, 2 million to hospital B and so on.

Como os parlamentares, eles perderam. O que eles geralmente faz, eles já rubricam eles já colocam no orçamento, na emenda o valor que vai para aquela instituição.

So if you are a fundraiser, it is interesting for you to think about the following, what do I do at this moment, if you are going to raise funds now for the deputies who lost, it is possible, but you ask him to initial it so he can put it in the budget your institution does not leave loose.

Because this way he won't need to juggle a lot with the indications during that execution period, so he already establishes in the budget: Oh 100 goes to such and such an institution, 1 million goes to such and such a hospital, 2 million goes to such and such a secretariat.

Então ele já estabelece, ele rubrica, quem vai receber o recurso. É mais inteligente do que se deixar solto como a maioria dos parlamentares fazem, porque às vezes há um acordo agora com as lideranças no período de votação da legislação orçamentária, mas quando chega no período de execução aquele acordo já não vale mais, o cara que iria trabalhar com ele já não vai trabalhar.

So that's why he leaves it loose, right? It does not initialize it, it leaves it to be defined in the application modality to be defined, which is called 99 in the budgetary legislation. And then during the execution period, he simply goes there and establishes it. So I'm going to send so much to that place, so much to that place so a parliamentarian, federal deputy Senator who lost the election can indicate resources for 2003 can and will indicate the difficulty is monitoring the execution.

Some pay attention to this, some parliamentarians and others don't and sometimes the guy who doesn't pay attention arrives the following year thinking he has total control over budget execution and he doesn't. He didn't put a password, he no longer has access to the systems because you go to the execution system, where it says how much each resource will go to each place you will change, you will prioritize, who will be the one, who will receive it later. So he no longer has that, because he is no longer with the deputy and as a senator.

Então ele precisaria de alguém que tem acesso aos sistemas, um técnico. E esse técnico que ele vai fazer isso por ele, mas ele já é não é mais Deputado não é mais Senador. Mas ele tem autonomia de indicar o recurso, e o recurso ser executado, e, em outra contrapartida nós temos os novos deputados e senadores que estão entrando.

And it's another interesting question: Do these new deputies and senators who will enter from 2023 have a budget? No, there isn't. So, in theory, they will spend the entire 2023 without a budget and they will vote on the next budget for 2024, so they will have the next budget for 2024, of course, the executive branch often opens up extra budgetary resources to serve these parliamentarians, new deputies and senators, but that depends a lot of each perfect government so the question of this poll is there to answer.

A hug to everyone and success in your fundraising.
