Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Thursday (20) that the survey of Genial/Quaest that showed the approval of his work by the financial market cannot be considered a survey because it has no sample base.
“To say that this is a research is to give a very pompous name for something that must have been done in 15 minutes there, in a neighborhood,” said Haddad, in the program “Good Morning, Minister”, EBC. “A survey of 100 people, you can’t name research. This you do at a bar table.”
The survey listened to 106 investment funds based in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro between March 12 and 17, with the target audience managers, economists and analysts. According to the survey, 88% of this public evaluates the Lula government negatively, and only 4% have a positive view.
According to Haddad, research like this would have more weight if conducted in the National Congress, for example, as they are people with mandate.
The minister said that, in public life, there are “ups and downs” and that “fixing the country is difficult.” He argued that it is difficult to make different people live for the same project, and that the solution to the Brazilian economy is to strengthen institutions and reach an agreement of the powers of the Republic.
