Cristiano Zanin, STF Minister, May Receive the Title of Citizen of Piauí

Portal O Dia31 August 2026 at 15:35

Supreme Court (STF) Minister Cristiano Zanin may receive the title of Citizen of Piauí. A legislative decree authored by three MDB deputies began to be processed this Monday (31) in the Legislative Assembly of Piauí.

The project was presented by MDB deputies from Piauí and seeks to recognize the services rendered by Zanin to the state. The proposal is currently under consideration in the Legislative Assembly of Piauí.

The granting of titles of Citizen of Piauí is a form of homage that the state offers to people who have contributed in some way to Piauí, even if they are not natives of the state.

Zanin was appointed as STF minister by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2022, after being approved by the Senate. He is a lawyer and became known for defending Lula in legal proceedings.

Government reserves R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in 2027

The Lula government reserved R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in the 2027 Annual Budget Bill (PLOA), an increase of R$ 4 billion compared to the proposal for 2026. The amount is expected to be higher after Congressional approval, since in 2026, R$ 40.8 billion was reserved, but the approved amount reached R$ 50 billion. Mandatory amendments are those the government is obligated to pay, while non-mandatory ones depend on available space in the Budget. There are three types of amendments: individual, from state delegations, and from committees, each with its own rules for distribution and application.
