Gleisi defende decreto que regulamentou atividade da primeira-dama

Overview

  • The former prosecutor filed a federal suit seeking an injunction to suspend the August decree that allows the presidential office to support Janja da Silva in public-interest activities.
  • His petition argues the rule creates undefined access to staff, centralizes control of related expenses at the Planalto, and generates unbudgeted costs that breach administrative morality.
  • The Presidency cites an April AGU opinion that set transparency rules for spouses’ public agendas and travel, framing the decree as a codification of existing, voluntary participation.
  • Minister Gleisi Hoffmann publicly defended the measure as legal, transparent, and cost-neutral, rejecting opposition claims that it expands powers or creates privileges.
  • Opposition lawmakers had already filed Projetos de Decreto Legislativo to nullify the act, with O Globo reporting at least 12 proposals, while the decree remains in force pending judicial and congressional review.
