Desconhecido: How will your relationship with the federal government be in the event you are re-elected, whether at the national level it is Lula or Bolsonaro, Flávio Bolsonaro?
Mateus Simões: I hope it is Romeu Zema, who is my candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, and Brazil's challenge is very similar to what Minas Gerais had to face in 2019.
Now, I think, Berta, that we need to focus on the State, focus less on the ideological dispute that is taking place at the national level.
Mateus Simões: Besides, I'm fortunate not to be on either of the two sides of the national ideological dispute, which allows me to be at ease as a candidate in Minas Gerais to discuss the State's problems.
Mateus Simões: That means that, if it's Lula, I will continue discussing how to discuss.
