The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, again criticized this Friday (6), the economic conduct of the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and said that there was “a rape” of public accounts during the administration of the former President of the Republic. “What happened from 2022 to 2023 is a kind of rape of public accounts, a crazy thing that happened. What is the opposition’s narrative? We delivered a primary surplus in 2022, and the Lula government inaugurated a phase of huge primary deficits that are destroying the country’s finances. That is the narrative”, he declared in Salvador (BA), during an event celebrating the PT’s 46th anniversary.
Haddad cited the approval of the PEC dos Precatório and highlighted that the former government sold the narrative of public accounts in order, but that, faced with imminent electoral failure, it approved harmful measures.
“He, the Bolsonaro government, imagined that he was going to buy votes in the last two months, August and September, to win the election, and he said that. … And obviously he put the Federal Highway Police in place to not let PT members vote, as you know. All of this didn’t work, highlighted the minister.
Opportunity with security!
He stated that “political science cannot explain the Lula phenomenon”, who was released from prison and managed to win the presidential election. He said, however, that the PT government’s communication has become a “very complex thing”, because there are currently disputed facts, such as data from official bodies.
Electoral tone
According to the minister, he went to the PT event as a militant, on a one-day leave from the Ministry. In an electoral tone, he said he knows where he is going. “Haddad is neoliberal? Haddad is communist? Haddad is Haddad. You’ve known me for about 40 years. So I may have been wrong, I may have been right, but I know the place I occupy, I know where I came from, I know where I’m going. So everything is in order with me”, he said.
Continues after advertising
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva began to admit the possibility of launching the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, as a candidate for the Senate in São Paulo.
Departure from the Farm
Haddad said last week that his departure from the ministry should occur in February and avoided mentioning the name of the Ministry’s executive secretary, Dario Durigan, as his successor.
He said it was up to Lula to make the announcement. “The month of February, for sure”, declared the minister in an interview with the portal Metropolises.
