The parties have on the table a proposal to criminalize the practice known as "meter uma cunha," meaning the use of influence and connections to obtain favors or improper access to public decisions. This practice is described as ancestral and deeply rooted in society.
The legal expression used to describe this "shortcut" is "improper intermediation of access to public decision-making." The objective of the proposal is to create a law that punishes those who use their position or relationships to intercede with public decision-makers, obtaining advantages that would not be granted through the normal process.
