Parliamentarian Questions Use of State Resources in Cultural and Educational Initiatives and Seeks Support to Open Parliamentary Inquiry Commission.

The federal deputy Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Bragança (PL-SP) initiated the collection of signatures to open a Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) focused on the current management of Itaipu Binacional.

The main motivation of the parliamentarian is to investigate possible irregularities in the use of resources from the state-owned company.

He also submitted a formal request to the Ministry of Mines and Energy demanding explanations about the transfer of R$ 752 million for works at the Federal University of Latin American Integration (Unila), in Foz do Iguaçu (PR).

The proposed investigation also intends to analyze the transfer of R$ 15 million for the “Janjapalooza“, a cultural event linked to the G20 meeting in 2024 and promoted by the First Lady.

In addition, the parliamentarian cites agreements totaling R$ 1.3 billion related to COP-30 actions.

Values allocated to the Landless Workers Movement (MST) and projects aimed at indigenous communities are also called into question.

Another point highlighted in the CPI request is the increase in the power plant’s tariff. Even after the historical debt of Itaipu was settled, the price per kW rose from US$ 16.71 to US$ 19.28. A new increase of 5.99% is expected for 2025.
