Lula Sanctions DF Security Pay Law With 11 Vetoes

The vetoes reflect a push to avoid unfunded payroll expansion.

Overview

  • The law, published Tuesday in the federal register, converts a provisional measure into statute and includes 11 presidential vetoes.
  • Raises already reached paychecks in two parts in December 2025 and January 2026, lifting DF military police and firefighters by 50%, civil police by 24.43% to 27.27% by rank, and former-territory military by 24.32%.
  • The government estimates a budget impact of R$3 billion in 2026 with the same projection for 2027, and Congress will now review the vetoes in a joint session.
  • Vetoes removed clauses that would roll command-position bonuses into colonels’ retirement pay, which the government said was unconstitutional and lacked required fiscal-impact estimates.
  • Other vetoes blocked Civil Police restructuring, including creating an investigator post by merging roles without a specific exam and an automatic hiring trigger when 30% of posts are vacant, which the Planalto said would undercut hiring rules and staffing plans.
