Judiciary analysts consider questioning Aras’ project – 05/10/2023 – Panel SA

Analysts from the Judiciary and the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office are considering appealing to the Federal Supreme Court if President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) sanctions without vetoes a bill by the Attorney General of the Republic, Augusto Aras, which, modified by Congress, reconfigures positions in the Judiciary.

Submitted to Congress last year, the project only intended to reallocate 23 MPU (Union Public Ministry) analyst positions between the Military Justice and the Military Public Ministry.

Aras’ idea was to distribute servants of the Armed Forces without increasing expenses, since the function would be maintained.

However, when it went to the Chamber of Deputies, deputy Erika Kokay (PT-DF) proposed an amendment, changing the career law of MPU members to require complete higher education in the technical positions of the body, including the National Council.

Currently, contests for these careers require candidates to have mid-level knowledge.

This amendment could generate an increase of BRL 2.8 billion in the payroll of the PGR, according to estimates of the category, because it makes room for requests for salary compensation by those MPU servers who already work as analysts and have a higher level.

For the category, by raising the level of educational training, in practice, Congress will be closing the doors to new analyst contests as a way to avoid more spending on salaries.

Last year, parliamentarians articulated the same change in another bill that dealt with the careers of Judiciary servants.

The change was vetoed by Jair Bolsonaro. For the government, the change in positions should come from the STF itself.

At the time, Anajus, the association that represents the category, even filed an ADIN (Direct Action of Unconstitutionality) in the Supreme Court, questioning the change. The case is under review. Now, consider going back to the Supreme Court.

In the column Erika Kokay stated that there will be no payroll increase at this time, because the change would only be valid for the next contests.

“This does not change any salary table. It would be a criterion for new contests and the vast majority of people who move to the position of technician already have a higher level. We understand that there is no unconstitutionality. These amendments have been discussed with the PGR”, he said. the deputy.

In the Senate, the project was approved on the 3rd of the last day. Senator Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB-PB), rapporteur for the project at the CCJ (Commission for Constitution and Justice), also considers that there is no constitutional conflict in the text and that the changes do not generate additional expenses, “since the position’s remuneration is not changing”.

The PGR said it would not comment on amendments to the original project.
