The Federal Supreme Court granted a preliminary injunction, in the proceedings of Direct Action for Unconstitutionality nº 6357, proposed by President Bolsonaro, to remove the requirement to demonstrate budgetary adequacy and compensation in relation to the creation or expansion of public programs to face the current crisis.

It also grants additional judicial security since no penalties shall arise from this necessary emergency public expenditure.
