PGR Signals It Will Keep R$324 Million Request and Asks STF to Rule on Budget Authorization

Overview

• The Procuradoria-Geral da República told the Supreme Court on Friday that it intends to maintain a request for R$324 million to cover costs for the Ministério Público da União related to the penduricalhos rulings.
• The PGR endorsed the Advocacia‑Geral da União's formal question that the STF clarify whether opening extraordinary budget credit requires a specific judicial authorization.
• The AGU cited an opinion from the Consultoria Jurídica do Ministério do Planejamento and said the MPU lacks room in its 2026 budget to absorb the new costs without extra credit.
• The Conselho da Justiça Federal withdrew a separate R$208.9 million request on November 11 after it said it found new revenues and budget fixes, and the STF still has three related actions pending that must be decided before funds can be released.
• The contested payments include a 5% PVTAC tranche every five years up to 35% that the STF ordered implemented for active staff, retirees and pensioners and the court’s ruling on the budget question will shape whether courts and the MPU can tap emergency credit or must seek further judicial orders.
