Brazil's federal police could see essential services, including Amazon rainforest protection, impacted by a budget shortfall into 2023, said a senator-elect and senior aide to the president-elect on Wednesday.
Flavio Dino, a member of the justice and public security team for President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's transition team, said budget issues could restrict per diem expenses for federal agents and fuel for vehicles.
"It is very difficult to provide security if there is no possibility of paying daily wages," he said during a news conference.
