RODA VIVA | FERNANDO HADDAD | 31/08/2026

"Innovation that connects."

"Bradesco."

"Good evening."

"Roda Viva begins now, the interview program from TV Cultura on São Paulo's public TV."

"You can watch us throughout Brazil via our network of affiliates and in almost the whole world on the Cultura channel on YouTube."

"There are 34 days left until the first round of this year's elections."

"This August we opened a special slot for interviews with the main candidates for the government of the State of São Paulo."

"As per the draw held on the 7th, today we host the candidate of the PT (Workers' Party), Fernando Haddad."

"Fernando Haddad holds a law degree, a master's in Economics and a doctorate in Philosophy from USP, where he is a professor of Political Science."

"In public life, he was Minister of Education in the Lula and Dilma administrations and mayor of São Paulo."

"He ran for the presidency in 2018 and for the government of São Paulo in 2022."

"And in Lula's third term, he assumed the Ministry of Finance, a post he left to run again for the São Paulo governorship."

"And to interview candidate Fernando Haddad, we have with us Clarissa Oliveira, political analyst at CNN Brasil, Pedro Carvalho, coordinator for O Globo in São Paulo, Mônica Bergamo, columnist for Folha de São Paulo and Band News FM, Pedro Borges, reporter for Alma Preta, Thaís Bilenk, columnist for UOL, Ricardo Correia, political coordinator in São Paulo at Estadão."

"With us also are journalism students from Unesp, Metodista, Mackenzie and ESPN."

"And to translate the debates into drawings we have our cartoonist Eduardo Batistão."

"And you, from anywhere in the world, can send questions via WhatsApp using the QR Code that appears during the program."

"Good evening, candidate."

"Thank you for being here."

"Welcome to Roda Viva."

"Good evening, Ernesto."

"It's a great pleasure to be here with you."

"Very well."

"I'd like to start right away with one of your priorities in your... government program."

"Security, education and health."

"Okay, let's go to security."

"Basically, there are 180 prison facilities in the state of São Paulo, 230 thousand inmates, including the PCC."

"And what is known is that this criminal faction has great control over many of these prisons."

"And in the last 33 years, since the PCC emerged, the government of the State of São Paulo has been led by centrist governments and in the last four years by the right, and none of them managed to provide an answer."

"On the contrary, the PCC has only grown and today is present in the financial market, in the public administration, in short, it has already spread its tentacles."

"I would like to know, sir, you are a man of the left — what proposals do you have to solve this problem?"

About: promote a comprehensive public security reform

"Renato, I think our constitutional design is wrong."

About: approve constitutional amendments on public security

"And that is why President Lula submitted a security PEC (constitutional amendment) so that the Presidency of the Republic would assume part of the responsibility for this, and there has been resistance from far-right governors, who see in it a loss of autonomy."

"I see the opposite, I see a great opportunity."

About: establish a state security coordination office with seats for federal forces

"I want to establish an anti-faction cabinet at my desk, in the governor's office, chaired by the governor."

About: establish a state security coordination office with seats for federal forces

"With the presence of São Paulo's Civil, Military and Penitentiary Police, but also with the presence of the Federal Police and the Federal Revenue Service."

About: establish a state security coordination office with seats for federal forces

"And the Public Prosecutor's Offices of São Paulo and the Federal Public Ministry will also have seats."

"Why do I see this as the only way out?"

About: conduct integrated operations between the Federal Police and the Federal Revenue Service to combat money laundering

"I spearheaded, at the Federal Revenue Service — the agency linked to the Ministry of Finance — an operation called Carbono Oculto."

"That operation taught Brazil a great deal."

About: conduct integrated operations between the Federal Police and the Federal Revenue Service to combat money laundering

"Considered by experts the largest operation to combat organized crime in history."
