The dream of the Flamengo no Gasologista gained some contrasts, and some complications should appear along the way. The dissatisfaction of Caixa Econômica Federal is one of them. According to information from the Mundo Rubro-negro portal, the legal battle for the land is progressing. However, the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes (PSD), counterattacked and made an important publication on his social networks.
Paes brings an article from O Globo, showing that Porto Maravilha, designed by Paes and which has been worked on a lot in recent years, has had a direct impact on the FGTS.
“The article below in today's Jornal O Globo clearly shows the impact of R$6.5 billion in profit on the FGTS in the operation of Porto Maravilha. And this only happened due to unilateral action by the city of Rio. It is a dry topic and difficult to understand for lay people, but it is directly related to the unfounded and meaningless arguments used by the CEF and the Union to contest the auction of the Gasometer land purchased by Flamengo”, he begins, before explaining:
“In addition, by decision of the city hall itself, the urban operation area was expanded to São Cristóvão. In other words, in addition to bringing yet another piece of public equipment to the region, the city hall has made it possible to profit from the operation for the FGTS. Any interpretation other than this is either bad faith or political ill will”, he adds.
The article about the FGTS
Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF) took over as FGTS Operating Agent in May 1990, via Law 8,036/90. In other words, the construction of a stadium in the region that has already generated a profit of R$6.5 billion. FGTS rewards Caixa for decisions that came from the city hall itself when investing in the revitalization of the area. This is the challenge of Mayor Eduardo Paes.
The O Globo article indicates that the gain of R$6.5 billion. was atypical, making it clear that it was directly linked to the “renegotiation of investments made by the Fund in Porto Maravilha”. However, it is not a recurring account, and therefore, the idea is to leave this profit saved as an emergency reserve. is in addition to the R$ 16.8 million, which are recurring, recorded in 2023 with the return of investments in public securities.
Eduardo Paes' response comes after a serious accusation from Caixa regarding the auction of Gasometer land
Eduardo Paes' publication takes place due to the development of Caixa's stance regarding the auction of the Gasometer land. They were unable to prevent it and Flamengo purchased the land for R$ 138 million, a value lower than what Caixa would like to receive, but it took place after the Decree of expropriation of the land.
In this sense to Caixa's petition, speaks against the honor of those involved, highlighting the politician Pedro Paulo using the Sacred Mantle, also citing the FGTS itself, accusing the achievement having been made with public money. That's why Paes was quick to respond.
“As reported in all the press vehicles, only Flamengo's Clube de Regatas attended the auction, accompanied by politicians wearing t-shirts from the aforementioned football club, happy fans and singers. A real party! This party, unfortunately, was held to the detriment of other people's assets, in this case, the FIIPM, whose sole shareholder is the FGTS. In other words, at the end of the day, a party with the public assets of all Brazilian workers”, accused Caixa.
