Without mentioning the survey released on Friday (14), the president () praised government achievements in a speech during Vale’s investment announcement ceremony in Parauapebas (PA).
The agent quoted his record employment and credit offer as signs that “something is happening in this country” and said he aims to make a government better than in 2010, when he recorded records of popularity.
A, from 35% to 24%, reaching an unprecedented level to the petista in their three passages through the Planalto Palace. The disapproval is also a record from 34% to 41%.
“I would never run for the Presidency of Brazil again if I wasn’t sure it would be better than I was in 2010,” he said. “I want to build a country of well -paid workers, successful entrepreneurs.”
Datafolha surveys of that year indicated levels of approval by the president over 80%. It was the last year of his second term and the popularity helped him elect his successor, Dilma Rousseff.
The evaluation recorded in this Friday’s Datafolha survey is the worst harvested by Lula in his life as president.
Earlier, he had reached 28% great and good in October and December 2005, in his first term (2003-06). Already the highest rate of bad and terrible was recorded last December (34%).
His third term, which began in 2023, was being marked by average between nine Datafolha surveys, his approval was 36% and the disapproval of 31%.
Lula stressed that the government is launching a new payroll loan program that will allow more expensive loans to cheaper interest rates.
“Good money is the one who goes to the people, the one who goes to the worker, the one who goes to the small farmer,” he said. “It’s a little money, but you’re going to buy food, you’re going to buy shoes, it’s going to take it to his house. It’s that money that generates a job.”
Tumble on the president’s popularity demonstrates the impact of successive crises through which the government is going through, being the most showy of them that of Pix. It occurred in January, with the dissemination that the government would begin to oversee transactions of over R $ 5,000 by the instant bank transfer modality.
Food inflation is a constant focus of concern, and the president did not contribute to phrases like the one in which he suggested that people stop buying expensive food. If in theory it seems logical, it sounded like a hand washing, properly used by the most agile opposition.
With the fall of popularity, Lula intensified a travel schedule. This week, he was in Macapá and Belém. He closed this Friday in Parauapebas (PA), where he attended the investment launch of R $ 70 billion from Vale.
He was accompanied by eight ministers and the governor of Pará, Helder Barbalho.
On Monday (17), the President of the Republic will be in Angra dos Reis (RJ) for an event where Petrobras will celebrate the resumption of hiring in the Brazilian naval industry, one of its campaign promises.
