Public Ombudsman System Debate
Debate do Sistema Público de Ouvidoria (lit. Public Ombudsman System Debate) was an online debate held by the Ministry of Justice and Controladoria Geral da União (CGU), in 2013, to discuss the formulation and implementation of a public ombudsman system. The debate was centered in two axes: 1. a draft of an Executive Decree to create and regulate the Federal Public Ombudsman System, SiOuv, and a structured discussion on questions on general topics related to the drafted proposal. The online debate was just one part of a broader discussion. First CGU and the Ministry of Budget and Planning performed a technical study to collect and systematize rules related to federal ombudsmen, which was followed by a general meeting of public ombudsmen, who presented the discussion about the Federal Ombudsman System and collected subsidies for drafting a regulation. The online debate followed these discussions and the process was also subsidized by present discussions with civil society, Public Policy Councils, ?Caravanas das Ouvidorias?, among others.
