Overview
- Seven justices in the Supreme Federal Court voted to uphold Minister Flávio Dino’s order allowing the reassignment of blocked amendments to the substitutes of Alexandre Ramagem and Eduardo Bolsonaro.
- Under the ruling, Dr. Flávio (PL-RJ) and Missionário José Olímpio (PL-SP) may select beneficiaries and reallocate the funds without following the ousted deputies’ original indications.
- The court refused to reopen the submission period for amendments tied to Carla Zambelli, noting she filed none during the official window for the 2026 budget.
- The virtual session recorded pending votes from Luiz Fux, Gilmar Mendes and André Mendonça, but the majority to endorse Dino’s decision was already reached on February 27.
- PSOL had sought to block roughly R$80 million in amendments after questions over mandate status; Dino cited delays in formal cassations as a reason to avoid disproportionate harm to represented populations while preserving fiscal-planning rules.
