Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Friday (27) that Brazil is among the ten largest economies in the world, but is among the ten worse from the point of view of inequality. “It’s an unacceptable contradiction.”
He then emphasized that it is not possible for Brazil to be in the front of the world economy, when there are “many people being left behind”, alluding to social inequality.
Haddad also stated that Brazil should consider the challenging moment of current world politics as an opportunity. “Brazil is a reference today in the world in the defense of democracy, the Constitution, and we cannot abdicate these flags,” he said, praising the Faculty of Law of USP as one of the defense centers of these flags.
The statements were made at an auditorium of the USP Faculty of Law itself, during an event of the Association of former students of the Faculty of Law of the University of São Paulo (Arcadas).
