Samara Martins: It hires a contractor who builds a house; we were discussing with the construction sector, with construction workers from Pernambuco, and they said that what the government spends on a contractor to build a house... If it were us workers building it, it would be half the price, if not less.
Samara Martins: But one must guarantee the contractor's profit.
So why can't the government itself create these work fronts where the people build the houses, ensure city infrastructure, where the people even do the planting and ensure the feeding of our people, so as to guarantee that this money is invested in our own people?
Samara Martins: It is possible to do this, even within the framework of this system.
Samara Martins: But the priority and the class favored in this distribution and in these political decisions end up being the class of those who are already very rich.
