Panorama das emendas individuais dos deputados federais mineiros no período de 2020 a 2022

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the panorama of individual parliamentary amendments directed to the state of Minas Gerais, during the period from 2020 to 2022, and which became mandatory, that is, mandatory after the approval of Complementary Amendment 86 of 2015. In addition, it is intended to collaborate with the increase in allocative efficiency in favor of those involved, due to the participation that the amendments have in favor of the generation of social welfare, and the relevance of public sector spending for the execution of such amendments. The data on the individual amendments were collected from the Integrated Planning and Budget Portal (SIOP). As a reference for data analysis, the study by Lago and Rotta (2014) was used, in which they analyze the electoral connection and electoral impact indexes, to verify the relationship of individual amendments in front of voters. Through quantitative analysis and the data collection method, it was noted that some areas did not receive amendments, and others received very low proportions of these resources, such as the Tourism and Public Security sectors, while the health area was the preferred segment of parliamentarians (possibly influenced by the constitutional requirement), followed by the Ministry of Finance. Another factor identified is that on average 30% of the committed amendments are not implemented. The data also show that the electoral impact has a greater relevance in reelection than the electoral connection. Finally, it was concluded that, in fact, the amendments generate social benefits, however, they lack better management, transparency and monitoring.
