Joinville, in the North region, is one of the cities cited
Five municipalities in Santa Catarina are on the list of municipalities that must explain to the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) where and how the resources from the National Congress’s PIX amendments are used – the so-called special transfers.

The list includes the municipalities of Joinville, São José, Canelinha, Forquilhinha and Laguna. The CGU wants to know how much each municipality actually received, and which MPs made the requests.
The audit covers 200 cities called across the country. The list takes into account the cities that received the largest transfers through the PIX amendment between 2020 and 2024. City halls have until the end of next week to send the information to the CGU.
The request for information complies with a ruling by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), within the scope of an action that questions the regularity of this type of amendment. This year alone, the total is R$8.2 billion.

The big problem with the PIX amendment is that it does not require approval for the transfer. It is an individual amendment and a mandatory payment by the federal government.
