Governor defends model, but gives a positive signal to the business community, saying that this is not the ideal time
The governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), defended the maintenance of the 6×1 work schedule, but considered that the issue needs to be treated with caution. For him, the debate may be being conducted inappropriately. “Scale 6×1 is taking a path of populism that it shouldn’t take,” he stated.
The statements were made during another edition of “Dinner with Entrepreneurs”, promoted by the Mercado e Opinião group, in São Paulo. The meeting has brought together authorities and representatives of the productive sector to discuss economic and political issues in the country.
The governor criticized the country’s political and economic scenario with indirect remarks towards the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). He cited the absence of recent structural reforms and said that the last major economic change in the country was the Real Plan. According to Tarcísio, The current management benefits from past advances, but does not present any new features.
“What is the PT’s project for Brazil? What’s new?”, he asked, as he provoked the audience about the possibility of re-election of the current government.
O governor also stated that the country lives under an “aging” leadershipwith slow processes and little capacity for innovation. In a more emphatic tone, he defended the need for political renewal.
“It’s time for this group that thinks Brazil takes the reins. Otherwise, the country will be adrift. It’s an aging leadership, a slow process, which doesn’t offer anything exciting. Let’s make a difference”, he declared.
In addition to the criticism, Tarcísio pointed out what he considers to be disorganization in the political system and raised questions about the performance of the Judiciary. Without directly citing the president, he suggested that interference from other Powers occurs due to a lack of clear decisions from the Executive.
