Now the blame is on Bolsonaro, how much dishonesty from the LEFT, the petist leader, the luladrao is sinking the country into the mud of corruption and bankruptcy of public accounts. Incredible

BH thanks for your complacency, you see ZEMA.
Budget cut of 95.6% in the disaster support program, dropping from 134.8 million in 2023 to only 5.8 million in 2025.
Accusation that Governor Romeu Zema (Novo) would be to blame for the rain disasters in Minas Gerais, including Belo Horizonte, is mainly based on the claim that the state government drastically reduced investments in disaster prevention, which would have contributed to worsening the tragedy. However, the government contests these numbers and states that investments have increased.
The table below summarizes the main arguments from each side:
Accusation (Opposition and Critics) Defense (Zema Government)
Budget cut: Reduction of 95.6% in the disaster support program, dropping from R$ 134.8 million in 2023 to only R$ 5.8 million in 2025. Contested numbers: The governor claims that the data is wrong because it disregards investments such as R$ 200 million in "piscinões" in Greater BH and R$ 70 million in civil defense kits for over 600 municipalities.
Responsibility: The reduction is seen as a "serious administrative omission" and a political choice that ignored climate risks, worsening the consequences of the rains. Emergency actions: The government highlights the immediate dispatch of rescue teams, humanitarian aid, and the release of R$ 48.2 million in financial reinforcements for the health of the affected cities.
Improbity: Deputy Dandara (PT-MG) triggered the PGR to investigate Zema for administrative improbity and criminal responsibility, pointing to a possible "causal nexus" between the budget cuts and the deaths. Denied by the vice: The vice-governor, Mateus Simões, admitted that the prevention budget was limited to resources resulting from the tragedies of Mariana and Brumadinho, contradicting Zema's version on investments.
