Relações Executivo-Legislativo na formulação da política orçamentária no Estado de Mato Grosso

Abstract

This study addresses the relationship between the Executive and Legislative powers in the budget policy formulation of the State of Mato Grosso. The budget process and planning instruments are used to propose goals and guidelines for the Executive power to conduct public policies through government programs. Budgetary policy is an expression of the form of allocation of initially budgetary resources, that indicate the priorities regarding public policies, which later turn into financial resources for their execution. This study aims to contribute to the development of Political Science in applied studies in the States concerning budgetary policy. The data presented refers to 2011 to 2018, when the government administration was under the responsibility of: Silval Barbosa from 2011-2014 and Pedro Taques from 2015-2018. The survey presents the budget values during the period and the priorities in the investments made by the governors as well as the total of the estimated revenues, realized revenues and commitment expenses. We also present a study on the budget committee of the AL / MT, the management of the budget law project, the composition of members and their parties, the parties of the State secretaries, the public hearings and groups’ interests concerning the budget law project. Finally, we present an analysis of the parliamentary amendments in the period, showing the amount of resources, the amendments that suffered objections, the ones rejected by the parliament and those vetoed and sanctioned by the Executive Power. This analysis runs through the political parties by analyzing the success of the relations between the Executive and Legislative powers in formulating the budget policy in accordance with the government base, through the coalition of political parties, thus achieving the approval of the government agenda, the implementation of public policies and mainly the success of the government's economic policy.
