‘Vale-Peru’ of $ 10,000 served to cover ‘nutritional needs’, says TJ-MT

Charged by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to provide clarification on the food allowance of R $ 10,000 to magistrates and R $ 8 thousand for servers-the “Vale-Peru”-the Court of Mato Grosso informed this Monday -10, 10, that the purpose of the benefit was to cover “dignified, the dietary expenses of servers and magistrates”.

“Such benefit should not be limited to a mere formal character, but to ensure coverage of the daily nutritional needs of the human person, with dignity, balance and in accordance with good food practices,” says the letter sent to the STF.

The “turbocharged” food aid was deposited exceptionally in December. The default benefit value is $ 2,000. The National Council of Justice (CNJ), a body that oversees the judiciary, had the payment suspend because it considers the exorbitant amount. The aid, however, fell into the magistrates and servers account, even after the CNJ decision. Days later, the court retreated and sent employees to return the money.

According to the Court of Justice, 311 of the 317 magistrates returned the money spontaneously after the presidency determined. The others were discounted straight into the pay stub.

The servers are being discounted in monthly installments. The union of the category asked the Supreme Court not to have to return the money. They claim they acted with “good faith.”

The Court of Mato Grosso argues that, despite being revoked, the payment is constitutional. “It is incontectly concluded by the strict legality of the payment idealized by this State Court, which was solely to ensure the full fulfillment of the function to which the alimony is intended, without destroying values ​​practiced by other state courts Brazilians, ”says Judge José Zuquim Nogueira, president of the Court.

The “Vale-Peru” is questioned in a popular action. The Attorney General of the State of Mato Grosso also sent information to the Supreme Court. The agency argues that the process lost the object as the money was returned.

“It is, really, an administrative act with temporary validity, which had its effects exhausted from the payment of the aid, so that, of course, it is no longer in force or effective, which makes the request for its cancellation completely unreasonable ”Argues PGE.

The information was sent to Cristiano Zanin, rapporteur of the process. He awaits CNJ information before dispatching.
