Abstract

This paper analyzes, for the 1995-2002 period, the personal financial resources of the members of the parliamentary elite of the Chamber of Deputies during the Fernando Henrique Cardoso terms. The members of this select group occupy the main key positions, carry out important activities and have influence on the main decisions of the Chamber of Deputies. The results were: a) most of them have financial resources lower than R$ 200,000; b) the main parties of the coalition, which give support to the Executive power, have financial resources between R$ 500,000 and 2 million; and c) there was a growth in financial resources for some political parties. The methodological procedure used involved the analysis of biographical data.
