The minister (institutional relations) says that there is no trick or silver bullet to solve the problems that led to the drop in approval of () in research.
According to him, the president himself already charged his team solutions to topics such as the
“Those who think of tricks, who thinks of silver bullet about it, usually reaps a negative result. This is not the first time we governs the country,” he told Tuesday (28) to Sheet.
QUESTE RESEARCH showed that in the current term.
Padilha claims to expect the continuation of a “partnership” with after, and presented the income tax reform as one of the priorities of the year.
What are the priorities of the Government in Congress in 2025 and when the income tax reform will be forwarded?
The full schedule we will present in the second week of February. But it has some axes that I consider priority: an economic agenda for a fair Brazil; Encouraging entrepreneurship and investment in our country; reinforces education at the center of the development project; Environmental Agenda; An axis that dialogues, for example, with federative entities, such as the PEC of security; and an axis of facing crimes in the digital environment.
Income tax reform is one of the big debates we will have throughout the year. The text is still from the Ministry of Finance, which is closing technically. The deadline is to be approved this year, so that it can be worth next year.
The Quaest survey dropped the government’s approval, especially in the basis of the president. How do you intend to reverse this scenario?
The research brings a theme that the president himself was already pointing to the government. It will follow very closely, as the theme of the impact of food inflation on people’s lives. If there is someone who is more severe than any research to your government is the president himself. And this stance gives me the guarantee and confidence that the government will face these topics that were pointed out [pelas pesquisas].
But how? Inflation, for example…
With the measurements… there is no trick. Those who think of tricks about it, those who think of silver bullet generally reap a negative result. This is not the first time we govern the country. This is not the first time we have seen growth situations, for example, the price of certain foods.
So we have enough experience to keep the economy right, reaffirming the measures that create a positive economic environment. In addition, the government has a set of measures from the first day of government, in stimulating production, regulatory inventory recovery, which contribute to increasing food safety and reducing any impact on it. And the fundamental, in the minister’s leadership [Fernando] Haddad, is leading the economic environment to the equalization of the exchange rate situation, to, serenity, dissipate any oscillation that had at the end of the year and that undoubtedly impacts on food today.
Some base parties have not delivered all votes to the government, but follow with ministries. Why?
There is a fragmentation of these parties. [Mas] Their vote was decisive for government priority agendas. We would not have approved the tax reform, the fiscal framework and the increase of the minimum wage without the important collaboration of these ministers, these parties. And I want to reaffirm that they are first in line with President Lula’s defense. And the defense, including reelection.
What is the view of mr. About the eventual entry of the mayor, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), in the government?
We are finishing this legislature, with all the partnership that was made, recognizing the differences, all the negotiation effort to approve all the measures we approve. And both Lira and the President [do ] Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG) being quoted to come to the government is a symptom of resuming functional relations. The two have political credentials to assume other roles of the Republic, including the government.
The name of mr. It is also cited in conversations about ministerial reform, sometimes in health and sometimes in defense.
I know [a SRI] It’s a difficult mission, many people think it’s the thorny of the government. I am happy to have contributed to us, in these two years, to be the government that has had the highest approval rate in the history of government’s own initiatives since redemocratization. I will continue to contribute to President Lula, where he thinks I have to contribute. This thing has no self -interest. It is not up to the player to say yes or not to the coach.
House and Senate choose on Saturday (1st) their new presidents. What to expect from the new commanders? Does the government expect an easier start with the chosen ones, after initial problems with Lira?
I want to remember that I voted for the lyre and the government leader [no Senado] voted for Pacheco. Therefore, they were also elected with vows of parliamentarians and government ministers. I think we will have a good environment of institutional relations. It is not to see individually with those who are in the presidency of the House or Senate.
Is being with Lula or his candidate in 2026 is a condition to increase space for center parties?
We expect any minister – to be those who are today in government or those who eventually come over the two years – play a defense role of the government, President Lula and that this contributes to the parties of which he Also part are government advocates.
Is President Lula indispensable to be able to defeat pockets?
I am absolutely sure that President Lula will arrive in 2026 with health and appetite to best defend this government, and the best way to defend the government is to be a candidate for reelection. He is the best to do this.
Is there concern for his health?
This is a debate that does not even exist between us. There are more opposition people talking about it than in the government. I hear attempts to retire the president since 1982, right? And he has always surpassed all his attempts and speculation and will overcome this again.
