Pre-candidate for Planalto by PL stated that the government’s economic policy impacts the population’s cost of living and access to credit
The senator (PL), pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, stated this Monday (June 15, 2026), that the government of the president (PT) leaves a “legacy of debt and hunger”, during participation in the Veja Fórum Rumos do Brasil event, in São Paulo.
In an interview with the CEO of Grupo Abril, Mauricio Lima, the congressman stated that Brazil is experiencing a scenario of economic and social deterioration and said that the country no longer supports a new term for the current president. “Brazil cannot handle another 4 years of PT”, he stated.
Flávio Bolsonaro also used harsher terms when referring to the PT. At another point in the conversation, he argued that the country needs “get rid of the cancer called PT”, in direct criticism of the acronym.
Throughout the interview, the senator attributed the worsening of public accounts and the economic situation to the federal government. According to him, the current administration has increased spending outside the fiscal framework and worsened the country’s fiscal situation. “Lula spending more than 200 billion reais outside the single fiscal framework and exclusively to try to deceive the Brazilian people once again by giving kindness”, these.
The pre-candidate also stated that the government’s economic policy directly impacts the population’s cost of living and access to credit. “Brazilians no longer have the purchasing power”, he stated, citing high interest rates and difficulty in financing for small businesses.
In Flávio Bolsonaro’s assessment, the economic scenario is reflected in broader social problems, including poverty and food insecurity. He stated that the country faces “legacy of debt and hunger”, in addition to “despair and violence”, attributing the situation to the conduct of the Lula government.
During the interview, the senator also criticized the public management model and stated that the State has been increasing expenses and taxes, which, according to him, contributes to family debt and the weakening of economic activity.
