The leader of the PT coalition in the House said the party could increase the pressure on the BC president if he is not heard by MPs
BRASÍLIA – The leader of the PT coalition in the Chamber, Zeca Dirceu (PR), has once again criticized the conduct of monetary policy by the president of the central bank, Roberto Campos Neto, and the institution’s autonomy. “During President Lula’s time, the country set a record of jobs with the Central Bank with autonomy. Autonomy cannot mean a black box where no one knows what’s going on and no one has information,” the deputy said this Tuesday afternoon.
However, the petista defended that Campos Neto is listened to by parliamentarians and, if this does not happen voluntarily, the party can increase the pressure. “In a couple of weeks, if you’re not willing to come, we may come back with even more weight on this question of calling, of inviting,” he said. Dirceu recalled that the commander of the BC voluntarily participated in the program Living wheel on this Monday evening.
Yesterday the national council of the party approved a resolution ordering the benches of the PT of the Chamber and Senate to summon Campos Neto to provide clarifications to Congress on why to keep interest rates high in the country. The president of BC, in turn, said that in Living wheel What he will go to Congress to explain the institution’s interest rate decisions as often as necessary.
In the interview, Campos Neto defended the conduct of monetary policy, indicated that he would like to bring the CB closer to the government and took a stand against changing the inflation target. He is the only remaining member of the Bolsonaro government and has a mandate until December 2024.
As shown the Stadium, four ministers of the current government voted in favor of central bank autonomy, a measure classified as “nonsense” by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Simone Tebet (Planning), Juscelino Filho (Communications), Daniela do Waguinho (Tourism) and André de Paula (Fishing) helped approve the law in 2021 when they held a parliamentary mandate.
