Fundo eleitoral e o princípio da moralidade: a saturação do fundo especial de financiamento de campanha

Abstract

The Special Fund for Campaign Financing (FEFC) is a subject that is always being discussed in the years prior to the elections, as it involves large amounts of public money that will be allocated to electoral campaigns, and which do not bring any benefit to the people. The electoral fund was born with a speech that “it would democratize the candidacies, leveling the candidate with less resources with those who have more capital to invest in the campaign”. This discourse is false, according to an article in Folha de São Paulo released on 10/25/2020 “less than 1% of candidates concentrate 80% of the funds in the 2020 campaign”, that is, in the accounts, the money goes to those who have more visibility and is running for reelection. In my view, it is impossible for this type of fund to exist, I see that there is still a lack of representation of the people in the congress, despite the people themselves electing them. The principle of morality defends that any activity whose work is intended for the people must be guided not only by the law, but in good faith and this type of funding goes against this principle. It is an explanatory research, using a bibliographic review, with a deductive approach and bibliographic research.
