"and Lauro Jardim, to whom I also extend my thanks for being with us."

"Candidate Ronaldo Caiado, thank you very much for your kindness in being here with us."

"Please pick up the microphone that is next to you."

"Good morning to you."

"Good morning, thank you very much for the space being given to speak to CBN Nacional, to all platforms, Globo, Valor."

"Valor, thank you very much for this opportunity, Jung."

"Maria Cristina, to tell all of you here about my joy in being able to take part in this hearing, where we will now be able to..."

"Yes, with a very short election, we will be able to speak with the entire Brazilian population and set out the points of what we think, what we believe, what society demands at this moment of great challenge."

"So, let's go to... to the questions."

"I hope to be in a position to answer and address all of them."

"Candidate Ronaldo Caiado, let's start by talking about the economy."

"Last week, I had the opportunity to interview your government program coordinator, Roberto Brant."

"He gave, by the way, an excellent interview, bringing some data about the plans... of your campaign."

About: control public debt and reduce interest rates

"And you promise to stabilize public debt in the first year, then reduce it."

"Roberto Branche even mentioned reaching a primary surplus of 1.5% of GDP."

"Is that a target you are committed to?"

"Exactly."

About: control public debt and reduce interest rates

"I am truly committed."

"And it's not just talk."

"It's what I demonstrated and did as governor."

"So it's something that has been well evaluated."

"You know how respected Roberto Brandt is, with the experience he has accumulated."

"And we also listened to several economists; we sought an approach that would be compatible with reality."

"You're mapping it out there... There's no magic wand to say, 'look, we'll cut that debt-to-GDP ratio by 4%.'"

"No, we'll do what everyone expects from a President of the Republic."

About: preserve the balance of public finances

"That is, balance the spending."

"We already started with a deficit of 0.5%."

About: reduce public spending

"Then it's about containing that abusive spending that the federal government is taking on with these populist measures, using... devices that, if the TCU were truly acting quickly, provisional measures to authorize extraordinary credit couldn't even be applied."

"We are not in a state of war or of calamity."
