Know some amendments to the provisional measure
One of the amendments, presented by Deputy Alex Manente (Cidadania-SP), allocates 0.25% of the 3% allocated to the Ministry of Sports to fund the Bolsa-Atleta.
For Manente, the program is essential to encourage high sports performance and democratize sport.
“Since its creation, in 2005, the program has contributed significantly to boost the careers of talented athletes, allowing them to dedicate themselves exclusively to training and competitions”, stated the deputy.
Deputy Pedro Aihara (Patriota-MG) wants to increase the percentage allocated to the Ministry of Sport (5%).
The difference would come from betting companies (which would keep 80%) and would be destined exclusively for actions to combat violence, racism and homophobia in sporting events.
An amendment by Deputy Julio Cesar Ribeiro (Republicanos-DF) reduces the amount allocated to betting companies to 81% and allocates 1% to state and Federal District sports departments. “
The work of the secretariats is growing, and has been a support for sports projects and public policies for the sector, in addition to being the executor of the states”, defends the parliamentarian.
Deputy Túlio Gadêlha (Rede-PE) also suggests reducing the percentage of companies (80.5%), but to allocate a part (1.5%) to the National Culture Fund.
“Culture and art are fundamental to preserving the identity of a people, promoting cultural diversity, stimulating creativity and individual expression”, said Gadêlha, emphasizing that stimulating culture is a responsibility of the State.
