The governor of, (Republicans), defended the need for an adjustment in public accounts and said that this will be the flag of a presidential candidacy supported by – although it has again said that it will not be he who will enter this dispute.
“Brazil is a country that has excellent foundations, but is losing upsides [potencial de valorização]. It’s spending a lot, it has a fiscal irresponsibility. Now, you move two, three, four levers, you put it on the axis again and then you make the jump, “Tarcisio told Bradesco BBI event in Sao Paulo, this Tuesday (8).
Among Brazil’s positive points for investors, the São Paulo governor mentioned the surplus in the trade balance, a robust international reserve of dollars and the economic reforms conducted in recent years.
As leverages for fiscal adjustment, he cited administrative reform, personnel expenses and other costs, deindexation of spending and revenue detachment, deregulation, benefit review, and budget reform.
“You impose a budget reform, build a budget reform, and will have all the elements to make the jump. To improve the quality of the expense, to invest in that structuring, to increase your power in terms of investment and increase the state’s ability to make investment, and also disseminate this relationship between powers and make the thing more balanced. I see it as perfectly possible,” said Tarcísio.
For the governor, the parliamentary amendments that guide Congress would not be an obstacle to these reforms.
“We have a problem, in fact. Much power has been transferred to Congress through the budget. What is the solution to this? It is demanding to Congress. Because the parliamentarian himself will realize that he needs to contribute. So if you call Congress, needing a fiscal effort, Congress will respond, but we will also change the logic of the amendment will go to the congress,” said Tarcísio.
By stating that the fiscal responsibility would be the electoral flag in the next campaign, Tarcisio denied that he intends to run for president in 2026: “Our mission is to contribute to the agenda of Brazil, to contribute a right-right candidacy, whether from Bolsonaro or who he appoints.
For Tarcisio, there is no problem with the right now having several presidential candidates, such as the governors of Goiás and Paraná, Ronaldo Caiado (UB), Ratinho Junior (PSD), respectively.
“The event this weekend, where you had several governors always gathered, shows well what is the Spirit. Agglutinar this class in a great democratic alliance to make a difference, to offer the country in the project, is something feasible, is something viable,” said the governor of São Paulo, in reference to the pro-Anysty act of last Sunday (6).
According to Tarcisio, the choice of name depends on the former president. “We have a great leadership on the right, which is Bolsonaro, which has this ability to mobilize and join these forces. This arrangement will pass it.”
Regarding the partnerships of the São Paulo government with the federal government, by Luiz Inácio da Silva (PT), Tarcísio said that the public interest speaks louder than political divergences.
“We need to leave opposition aside when it is in the public interest. Yesterday, we announce another partnership to build the largest housing program in São Paulo. We are seeking partnership with the federal government seeking the interest of the citizen.”
In the second (7), who had no presence of Bolsonarist representatives of the Tarcisio base, but had members of the opposition, such as state deputy Simão Pedro (PT), with whom the governor exchanged hugs at the end of the meeting.
The partnership provides that the state government will allocate up to R $ 36 thousand per apartment built by the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program. Technicians justified the measure by stating that the value of the program, the Lula government showcase, is insufficient to make housing viable in São Paulo. For those who earn up to two minimum wages, the financing ceiling is $ 170,000 – below the minimum prices in the São Paulo market.
In his speech, Jader Filho praised Tarcisio’s initiative to establish the partnership with an opposing government. Then, speaking to journalists, he said the event “shows exactly that the federative pact should be strengthened.”
“President Lula’s guidance is to work with states and municipalities, and that’s exactly what we did,” said the minister.
