A dívida pública e o papel do estado na concretização de direitos sociais: a justiça social como princípio orientador das normas orçamentárias

Abstract

The relationship between public debt, tax revenue and its allocation in the state budget is crucial for the realization of social rights and the materialization of social justice. This study seeks to understand the mechanisms of public debt and its social implications, highlighting its social impacts and its role in promoting social justice in accordance with budgetary standards. It is postulated that debt sustainability can contribute to social justice, exploring the economic return on investments in social policies and the reduction of the interest rate on debt payments, which is a constitutionally protected institute, through qualitative-quantitative descriptive research. Thus, it is concludes that it is possible to restructure public debt to finance social policies, but with caution and detailed planning, involving the articulation of legal mechanisms, review of interest rates and strategic prioritization in budget planning. The objective is to ensure that public debt is an effective instrument in the search for social justice, allowing the State to promote equitable and sustainable development in accordance with the principles of the 1988 Constitution.
