Auxílio Brasil

Auxílio Brasil ([awˈsili.u bɾaˈziw], "Brazil Assistance") was the social welfare program of the Government of Brazil, created during the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro. Announced in October 2021, the provisional measure (MP, short for medida provisória) was sanctioned by Bolsonaro after passing through both legislative houses (the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies and Brazilian Senate) on 30 December 2021, replacing Bolsa Família. However, after Lula's reelection as president of Brazil in 2022, he declared that he would rename the program to Bolsa Família, putting an end to Auxílio Brasil.
