Nepotism and administrative reform

I intend to benefit my son, yes.

My generation was marked by short-lived booms, by rising crime, by the normalization of the idea that the country is split in two. Lula ruined my future. I'm 42 years old, I'm a guy, from a work point of view I'm a successful guy, I founded a political party, I have the second-largest magazine in Brazil, I work with an NGO, I dedicate all my work to MBL. That said, people in my circle can't buy a house today. My generation failed. The generation that's 30, 40, 45 years old went wrong. They're having to drive for Uber despite having degrees. And it was Lula who didn't push through the reforms to make Brazil a serious country, while he kept buying the votes of the poorest in the Northeast.

involved, from his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, with politics.

That many things that I, who come from outside, consider wrong, those who are there, born into that environment, end up considering right.

I said I have zero relatives in Minas Gerais. And most politicians seem to think it's normal to give positions to relatives. Understand? They were raised that way and seem to think it's a right, because they won an election, to go handing out positions to friends and relatives.

You must be kidding! You make the humblest and poorest people in this Brazil simply electoral slaves.

I came from the favela! What you can't do is this: 'Stay where you are so that next year you vote for me.'
