Timer on the screen — go.

Desconhecido
Candidate, I'll open the line of questioning with a question and then, folks, you can feel free once Gabriel finishes answering to also start to interject.
Desconhecido
So let's go, Gabriel: in your government platform you say you want to improve Minas Gerais' road infrastructure, bringing more flow and more modernity.
Desconhecido
And we know that depends on funding.
Desconhecido
You also say elsewhere in your program that you'll be disciplined when it comes to spending.
Desconhecido
You won't spend more than you collect.
Desconhecido
But to make major structural changes in a state like Minas Gerais, you need money.
Desconhecido
Are you going to depend only on the federal government?
Desconhecido
How will you be able to execute these plans?
