Celina Leão, the Deputy Governor of the Federal District, announced that the government project aimed at supporting the Banco de Brasília (BRB) would not involve the sale of public properties. She emphasized that the intent of the proposed legislation is to provide guarantees for potential loans that the government might need to enhance the bank's balance sheet. The Deputy Governor affirms that these properties would not be sold under any circumstances, highlighting the government's intention to create a solid backing for borrowed funds, estimated at R$ 2 billion.

However, there is a contradiction in Leão's statements, as the legislative text currently under consideration by the Legislative Chamber does explicitly provide for the possibility of disposing of public assets, which raises concerns about the transparency and intentions behind the proposed legislation. Critics, including members of the opposition, are likely to question whether the project truly aims to protect public properties or if there are alternative motives at play. The presence of provisions allowing property sales could muddy the waters of public trust.

As the discussions progress, the implications of this project extend beyond economic support for BRB; it touches upon broader issues of public asset management and accountability. Leão's reassurances face skepticism from both the public and political factions, especially if the legal framework encourages actions contrary to her claims. This ongoing debate reflects wider concerns regarding the handling of public resources in a financially strained environment, signaling a potential clash between fiscal needs and public interest.
