Boulos wants to speed up the project to help victims of the rain – 02/24/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

Federal deputy Guilherme Boulos (PSOL-SP) submitted an urgent request to the Chamber of Deputies to guide the vote on a bill (PL) that institutes emergency aid for people affected by floods and droughts.

The PL was presented in February last year by the party, but it did not work. Due to the emergency situation on the north coast of São Paulo, the PSOL wants to pressure deputies for the approval of the proposal to help the families of São Sebastião affected by the rains.

“We are presenting this urgent request so that we can institute a solid response that allows the affected families to rebuild their lives”, says Guilherme Boulos, leader of the acronym’s bench. “The State cannot omit itself from those who need it most, especially in extremely serious situations like this one on the north coast of SP.”

The application is already in the Chamber of Deputies system for the collection of signatures – 257 are needed for the project to be approved.

The historic rains that hit the north coast of São Paulo left at least 54 dead, according to information released this Friday morning. There are 53 victims in São Sebastião (SP) and one in Ubatuba.

So far, 38 bodies have been identified and released for burial — 13 adult men, 12 adult women and 13 children.

The search for dozens of missing people continues. There are already 4,066 people away from home in the region: 2,251 displaced and 1,815 homeless.
