“Government, whether a state or a country, has to take care since the first day of government planning. Governing is not a 100 meter race, it is a marathon. Those who try to run a marathon like 100 meters race is on the way, there is no breath to finish. You need to plan the whole government and not have anxiety to reap the fruits before the time”, He said in an interview with this, this Thursday (27.mar.2025).
For Rui Costa, Lula took over a country “broken”He said the (PL) government left a $ 90 billion break in a precatory that had to be paid by the petista administration and cited irregular loans granted by the previous government.

“In Brazil, who pays major tax have always been the poorest people. In Europe, it has a much larger payment of richer people and, in Brazil, undertakes the income of the poor. This begins to correct this distortion of people who earned 1 million, 2 million, 3 million [de reais] and did not pay even 10% income tax, while wage earners pay 27% with a much lower income”Said the minister.
“The worker’s credit began to work, which is an idea of the president to give possibility to people who have a signed portfolio to have access to payroll loans. In general, people like sweeper, who works in commerce, small business employees, porter, cleaning staff, when they needed to buy a refrigerator and had no money, went to the store, parcel and the store offered a financing. Or it was going to the hand of a loan or financial that charged extortive interest, the person bought a refrigerator and paid 3, 4 refrigerators”, Completed Rui Costa, stressing that the government suggests that those who want access to the program does not accept the 1st proposal offered.
Bolsonaro’s trial

“The entire investigation process made clear a criminal plot that not only tried to make a military coup, but tried to murder the president of the elected Republic, the elected vice president and the country’s Supreme Court minister. This made by people who had public office who made a trial that would respect the Constitution, the Law and the Order of the country, these people were plotting, even maintained vigilance, choosing points where they would approach to arrest and kill people. This is a heinous crime, people inside the cabinet and in command posts were involved in this crime. I think those who committed crimes have to answer for their crimes”Rui Costa argued.
