*Funds for purchases and investments, in which the Ministry has power to decide on its destination.
• The Ministerial reform for the second term of President Rousseff resulted in a lower volume of resources under
the control of PT. The party will command only 21% of discretionary resources, as opposed to mandatory binding of
funds can be spent freely;
• The rate is the lowest in the last 12 years. Other 64% of discretionary resources will be under control of the
allied base and only the remaining 15% will stay with the technical positions;
• The second lower control rate of discretionary ministerial resources in this 12th years of the PT in power
occurred in 2005, during the Lula´s government, when dropped from 53.23% in 2004 to 38.94% in 2005, a period
that coincided with the discovery of the “Mensalão” scandal;
• In 2015, before the “Lava Jato” operation, the behavior pattern is repeated, with the redistribution of resources
between the base combined with a new momentum of political weakening of the party.
