Very well.
Desconhecido
Candidate, well, I'll begin by talking about the cases involving Daniel Forcaro.
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: investigate suspicious campaign donations
He said in a plea-bargain proposal that the donations made to Tarcísio's and also Bolsonaro's campaigns in 2022 were bribes negotiated with his running mate, Gilberto Kassab, who is the president of the PSD.
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: investigate the source of campaign financing
In total, the transfers amounted to 5 million.
Desconhecido
Did you speak with him about this?
- Neutral
About: investigate suspicious campaign donations
He has already gone public to say clearly, both he and Tarcísio, that none of that happened.
- Neutral
About: investigate suspicious campaign donations
And the information that came was that even the Federal Police and the Prosecutor's Office had not even accepted it.
- Neutral
About: investigate suspicious campaign donations
Now, they have already come forward and explained.
- Ambiguous
About: thoroughly investigate possible irregularities regardless of who is investigated
Any other question that is raised will need to be addressed, but the accusation must be solid.
Desconhecido
But do you think there could be something, or, beyond his denial, that an investigation needs to be conducted?
About: investigate corruption allegations by the STF and the PGR
Look, it's not about denying; this should be handled precisely by the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) and, at the same time, by the Procuradoria-Geral da República.
About: investigate corruption allegations by the STF and the PGR
The evidence must be presented.
About: conduct a broad, independent investigation by competent institutions
The proceedings cannot be a process of machismo; they have to be well-founded.
About: investigate and judge corruption allegations at the STF
If it is well-founded, it will be up to the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) to give the opinion and deliver the verdict.
What I have felt strongly, Marcela,
About: make corruption investigations public
is that we, the voters, have the right to see all these cases taken out of secrecy and made known to the entire population.
About: increase transparency and accountability of the federal government to citizens
Because it would be a betrayal of Brazilian democracy to vote for someone who tomorrow you will discover is involved in corruption.
About: make corruption investigations public
So, what I think — as happened in the case of Banco Master, Dark Horse, the INSS situation — all of this should come to light.
- Neutral
About: make corruption investigations public
Voters have already said in polls that were carried out, saying, look, if I see that my candidate is involved in corruption, I will change my vote.
So, at this time, I want to ask everyone following me to Google Ronaldo Caiado, please, Google Ronaldo Caiado.
