The Association of Mining Municipalities of Minas Gerais and Brazil (Amig) has been articulating, together with the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira (PSD), for the revision of the partial veto to Law 14.514, created by Jair Bolsonaro (PL), in end of his mandate, which still provided for the restructuring of the technical staff of the National Mining Agency (AMN).

Therefore, in practice, these points barred in the text would increase the number of people who still worked at the agency and, for these municipalities, would bring positive impacts both on inspections and on economies and the environment, these are aspects that are still incumbent upon the agency. mining activity. 

Of these vetoes, the associations potuate three that affect these municipalities: the creation of about 95 additional positions in the ANM structure (which contradicts with more than 349 in total) so that all the activities and attributions in which the ANM has, for the reduction of their number of employees.

The reformulation of National Mining Fund, for use as an ANM management fund with some resources from fees, fines and other fees under the competence of ANM.

And the promotion and funding of studies and projects related to the application of some research resources, innovation in the mineral sector and technological development. 

Since in Amig's assessment, the vector occurred due to the increase in expenses that the Executive branch would have with these personnel, which makes it normally proposed by the Legislature. The other articulations are made by the municipality, also extending to federal deputies and Lula's direct management, considering that it is observed as "more accessible" by the association.
