Ronaldo Caiado à CNN: Com debate, quem vai escolher é o eleitor | CNN 360º

"And as announced here, a promise is a debt and we keep it."

"We're going to have an important interview here on CNN 360."

"We have here in the CNN studio in São Paulo, Ronaldo Caiado, former governor of Goiás and pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic for the PSD."

"Participating in the interview, besides me, are Débora Bergamasco, Isabel Mega in Brasília, Pedro Wenceslau here in São Paulo, and Vinícius Mourad also joining us."

"And of course, Governor, very welcome here, good afternoon, sir."

"I want to start with a question."

"You announced the former congressman and former minister Roberto Branche as coordinator of your government program."

"He, who is a founder of the PSD, is a politician from Minas with a long history, from a family with numerous contributions to Brazil, including himself and his brother Fernando Branche."

"I'd like to hear from you about what role Roberto Branche will have, then, what are the... main guidelines he will have in that program."

"And I'm going to ask a question I already asked you, to see if we can move forward a bit."

"Also, when one talks about a government program, there is great expectation about who is the name or profile to lead the economy in a potential government of yours."

"Have you been able to further mature that name a bit?"

"I asked that question during an appearance on Roda Viva, you said you still didn't have a name."

"Can you go a little further now?"

"Good afternoon, welcome."

"Good afternoon, thank you very much, Yuri, for being able to participate here."

"Of this conversation, which is fundamental so that people can get to know us and, at the same time, we can also explain and answer topics as relevant as those that were raised here."

"The first point, you know Brant — I know him, he was my parliamentary colleague, and he's someone who has been around us for many years."

"Brant's role is to coordinate."

"What is this objective?"

"If you leave a government plan scattered, you can't complete it."

"So, the coordinator's purpose, in addition to possessing that capacity, is Brandt's intellectual caliber."

"He is, as they say, a player who plays in all positions."

"If you discuss education with him, health, security, social programs, infrastructure, he is someone who has an ability, a vision of Brazil in its entirety."

"He is not a compartmentalized politician; he's not a politician who specializes in just one issue."

"So, he has that vision, he is a modern person and as such we will listen."

"Various people in each of the areas."

"And then you come with the second question."

"You know this topic is one where, even regarding what we're hearing, they ask that certain things really not be disclosed, right, from the perspective that they have other interests, they are providing services as well."

"So this is something that is not appropriate and I would never do that."

"to cause any embarrassment to those people."

"They will be gathered, they will be presenting proposals within what they imagine given the current scenario, which is challenging."

"We know it is challenging."

"What is the number one challenge of this scenario?"
