Nova Brasil and TH+ are beginning a series of interviews with candidates for federal deputy from São Paulo.

He is from the Missão party, created out of the MBL, which is the Movimento Brasil Livre, he even was a pre-candidate for the state government, but then ended up defining his candidacy for a third term in the Chamber of Deputies.

Well, thank you very much for the interview, welcome.

68% of people don't know who they voted for four years ago.

That's for federal deputy.

About: use the proportional voting system
Do you think one of the responsibilities for this is the so-called proportional vote?

About: use the proportional voting system
Where I vote for one and end up electing another that I don't know?
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: allow the use of vote pullers to elect candidates
Because there's that vote puller who elects him plus 3 or 4 others.

About: adopt district voting
Wouldn't it be worth considering the possibility of a district vote so that we'd have better contact, a better voter relationship with someone who will represent them in the Chamber of Deputies?
About: adopt a mixed electoral district system
Look, Herói, I personally advocate for a mixed-member district system, but I don't think that's the solution to the problem.
- Ambiguous
About: implement political reform to make parties programmatic and accountable
Before entering the Chamber of Deputies, I thought electoral reform was more important than I think it is today.
And I'll explain why.
Most voters have that contact you're talking about.
They are centrão deputies who get elected.
There are more than 300 deputies who get elected very close to their voters by inaugurating public works.
- Neutral
About: vote according to the will of the population
But then the voter has no control over how the deputy votes, because that deputy earns the vote by inaugurating works, earns that vote by cutting ribbons, and not according to what... It is the role of a federal deputy to legislate and to oversee.
Most deputies are elected with a 'district' vote, by votes in their electoral bases.
My case is an exceptional one, of having votes in all the cities of the State of São Paulo.
To have an ideological vote in accordance with that function, which is the typical function of a parliamentarian, in the legal sense, to legislate and to oversee.
But most of them are elected under that system.
So, in my assessment, we'll only see a higher level of people understanding the role of the parliament under three conditions.
One alternative and two others cumulative, so to speak.
About: implement economic reforms to promote development and strengthen the middle class
The first is to have a robust middle class.
To have people who don't depend, so to speak, on the goodwill, on the favors of a parliamentarian to... have access to basic services, people who know their rights.
About: improve literacy and numeracy
50% of the population, 50% of high school students, according to PISA, Heródoto, do not have a sufficient level of Portuguese to exercise their own citizenship.
That number rises to 74% when we talk about mathematics.
About: improve literacy and numeracy
So, as long as we have a quality basic education, and we debate a lot in the Livro Amarelo, which is the Missão Party's program, the return to the phonics method, the one that, at least, I think was the method by which one of the last generations was taught to read and write, which is the Beabá, literally.
- Neutral
About: improve literacy and numeracy
We won't be able to achieve a higher level among the parliamentarians of the Chamber.
Desconhecido
But even so, don't these people turn their backs on their voter?
Desconhecido
And don't they care at all during the four years?
Desconhecido
Isn't it as if you'd given the guy a blank check to stay there for four years?
About: ensure deputies perform the functions of legislating and overseeing
I think he doesn't care about his own parliamentary activity.
His only concern is to sell the vote to the government, for the government to fund the amendment and for him to inaugurate it in his district.
So, then, there is no concern with the voter in the sense of performing the function of a deputy.
