Juscelino makes video to defend himself against accusations before meeting with Lula – 03/06/2023 – Politics

Before the meeting with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), who will define his future in government, Minister Juscelino Filho (Communications) published this Monday (6) a video on his social networks in which he defends himself against accusations of misuse of per diems and the FAB (Brazilian Air Force) plane.

The minister points out an “error in the per diem system”, which ended up improperly including dates referring to weekends in the calculation of values, when there were no public agendas. Juscelino also adds that all unduly paid per diems were returned to public coffers.

Lula will have a meeting with Juscelino at 4:00 pm this Monday (6) for the holder of Communications to present his explanations on the allegations of misuse of room rates at private events.

Juscelino received per diems from the federal government for days without a work schedule in São Paulo, São Luís and even abroad. So far, the total per diem received by the minister on two international trips —to Portugal and Spain— adds up to R$34,200.

According to a note released by the folder on Thursday, the holder of the folder decided to return the value of the daily trips from Maranhão and São Paulo.

On the trip to São Paulo, the minister had only two official agendas and took advantage of his stay in the capital of São Paulo to participate in an event related to Quarter Horses, as revealed by the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo Juscelino Filho is a breeder of animals of the breed .
