Brazilian municipal and civil groups present policy proposals to candidates
Brazilian municipal and civil society organizations have submitted formal policy proposals to presidential and state candidates.
The National Front of Mayors (FNP) issued a public letter demanding a new federative relationship that grants local governments greater participation in national decisions. Key demands include a revision of the Municipal Participation Fund (FPM) distribution criteria, monitoring the impacts of tax reform, and ensuring the funding of the Unified Health System (SUS). The FNP emphasized the need to uphold Constitutional Amendment 128, which prevents the transfer of new expenses to municipalities without corresponding resources.
Simultaneously, the Agenda 227 movement, comprising over 520 civil society entities, presented documents focused on the protection of children and adolescents. These proposals address education, health, early childhood, and violence prevention. The movement highlighted that vulnerable groups, including Black, Indigenous, and immigrant youth, face disproportionate risks regarding poverty and food insecurity, calling for policies that ensure constitutional rights for all citizens aged 0 to 17.
