The Federal Court of Macaé, a city in the interior of Rio de Janeiro, accepted the popular action of a professor and lawyer; this measure is valid throughout the national territory

Macaé, popularly known as the National Capital of Oil, was overwhelmingly reported on social media yesterday after the city’s court accepted a popular action to temporarily halt the increase in fuel prices. The tax that the government wants to impose on Brazilians is approximately R$ 0.41 more per liter of fuel. These rates are from PIS and Cofins that apply to ethanol, diesel, and gasoline.

Macaé Files Popular Action Against Increase of…

The AGU (Attorney General’s Office) stated that, at present, it has not yet received the notification but is already mobilizing to overturn this decision.

The Decree

The person who filed the popular appeal in the Unique Court of Macaé was a lawyer and professor from Bara de São João, which is also a small coastal province in RJ.

  • Here is the description of the judge Ubiratan Cruz Rodrigues’ decree: “I grant the request for urgent protection to suspend all effects of Decree 9.101/207. Fulfill it urgently”. This measure applies to the entire national territory.

About the Author of the Popular Action

As this decision occurred in the first instance, the union will also file an appeal, according to the Federal Court. In an interview with G1, Décio Machado Borba, the author of the popular action filed on July 27, said that the reason for taking this action was that they simply ignored the law, since this increase must be published within 90 days. After this period, then this increase can be executed, which did not happen. Everything was done arbitrarily and without considering the consequences of this cost for Brazilians.

Conclusion

It is clear that this is yet another attempt to pass the bill for their misgovernance onto the population, especially since it is already overwhelmed by sky-high unemployment rates and basic living supplies at exorbitant prices. We knew the bill would arrive at any moment, but does it have to be all at once? Source: G1
