Brazil Pix for MEIs: Lula's R$5,000 pledge diluted to R$363 per recipient

Brazil's government is analyzing a program to pay microentrepreneurs (MEIs) via Pix, but the proposed budget would only allow R$363 per recipient if distributed equally among 1 million beneficiaries, far below Lula's announced R$5,000. The plan is preliminary and faces fiscal constraints, highlighting a gap between political rhetoric and policy feasibility.
