Desconhecido: If the President of the Republic were or is former governor Romeu Zema, what do you think he would do about this Propag issue, given that he also initiated this negotiation with the federal government?
Desconhecido: And just to add, how do things stand with campaigning here in Minas Gerais, since you moved from Novo to PSD — will you campaign for Governor Romeu Zema, while your party has a different candidate for the presidency, the former governor of Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado?
To start with the last point: a governor is fortunate to be able to count on the support of two men like Zema and Caiado.
Mateus Simões: So I am very honored that both say they support my candidacy in Minas Gerais, but I... Obviously, out of loyalty and coherence, I support former governor Romeu Zema.
Mateus Simões: PSD has known this from the start and, in fact, the majority of PSD deputies in the state are making the same move I am, out of loyalty and gratitude for what Zema did for Minas Gerais and because we know that if anyone is ready in this election—having already lived through the situation Brazil is now experiencing, namely destruction by the PT—it's precisely former governor Romeu Zema.
