In the request, the Deputy invokes Article 15, items I and VIII of the Internal Rules of the Chamber of Deputies and the Act of the Board 69/2010, to create a front suprapartiary entity associative, non-profit, constituted in accordance with the terms of the founding and constitution and annex attached statute.
Deputy Welinton Prado recalled that there are currently 13 thousand lottery retail stores that generate more than 70 thousand direct jobs and serve 120 million people throughout the country and who in some municipalities are the only banking service option for payment of people accounts and receiving benefits such as Bolsa Família, among others.
The problems faced by the network were also listed by the parliamentarian to justify the need for the new parliamentary front. Prado pointed out that today lotteries suffer with economic and financial imbalance, legal insecurity, maintenance of the current lottery business model and historically problematic systems infrastructure.
In the document, Welinton Prado also points out difficulties in the negotiations between Caixa and the lottery network as another reason for the creation of the Front.
"Unfortunately, the path of negotiation and dialogue with CAIXA for many years has produced only the postponement of solutions and continuity of problems, clearly demonstrating CAIXA's lack of interest in maintaining and enhancing its lottery network. In this way, we have asked to urgently create and install the Parliamentary Front now proposed so that lottery retailers can continue the invaluable service they provide to the lower classes of the population," concludes the parliamentarian.
In the last legislature, the lottery network also had a parliamentary front in the Chamber of Deputies. It was chaired by Dep. Goulart and owes as one of its main victories the plenary approval of PL 7306/17 (by Luiz Carlos Hauly and Goulart), which adjusted the amounts paid by Caixa and determined the annual review of the remuneration of lottery companies for the provision of banking receipt services and set minimum rates for them. The bill went to the Senate, however, it did not get to be voted because it gave origin to an agreement between Caixa the lottery network that was intermediated by the senators.
