Launched by more than 10 civil society entities, the note, headed by the Brazilian Institute for Consumer Protection (IDEC), was published in several Brazilian newspapers, in order to pressure governments to deal seriously with the pandemic caused by Covid. -19.
The note was published, mainly, after the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, edited a provisional measure (MP) that prevented public agents from being held accountable during the pandemic (MP 966/2020). However, the MP ended up losing its effectiveness, without deliberation in the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate.
