Good morning, good morning to everyone following us on Bom Dia 247, good morning, Daphne, good morning, Tereza, good morning to Marcelo, that journalist who only knows how to cry when he asks for an interview, you know, Tereza?
I think I can even request a song here on 247, because I think this is already our third conversation, and him saying like, "you abandoned me, you forget about me," but it's a great pleasure, you know?
Desconhecido
Don't forget me!
Desconhecido
I was singing Nana Caymmi, in tribute to Nana Caymmi.
Yes, in tribute to that beloved, extraordinary singer and songwriter who accompanied my entire youth.
And remember, Marcelo, that I will never forget you, because you accompanied me in the second round, when we were there in Rio de Janeiro, Ipanema.
On Avenida Atlântica.
Yeah, we started there in Ipanema, Copacabana, and doing that... that beautiful demonstration of ours in favor of democracy and the election — of President Lula's third term.
Desconhecido
Good morning, Minister.
Desconhecido
That's right, there's that saying: if you don't cry, you don't get fed.
Desconhecido
I'm not much of a crier, you know?
Desconhecido
But that doesn't mean I don't also have a lot of appreciation for your coming here, for your interview — we really have done this before.
Desconhecido
I'm just less insistent than Marcelo, but I have the same interest.
Desconhecido
Thank you for everyone's kindness.
Desconhecido
Go ahead, Tereza, you start there, as the dean of 247.
Desconhecido
Let's start, Minister, with the LDO, which you prepared, and your ministry, under your coordination, and sent to the... to Congress a few days ago, a week, plus about 10 days.
Desconhecido
Within the deadline set by the Constitution, it's Congress that never votes on time; in recent years the LDO has to be voted by June 30 but has been voted in the second half, and the budget has to be voted by December.
Desconhecido
Now, last year, it wasn't voted; only now in March did we have a budget.
Desconhecido
But it's a kind of relaxation of those deadlines, which has been happening for some time.
Desconhecido
I think that's bad; I think the constitutional deadlines should come back and prevail, and so on.
Desconhecido
But, in sum, this LDO foresees good things, such as, for example, the minimum wage with a real increase to R$ 1,630, a surplus of 0.25%, it foresees, for example, the Selic at 12.56% — but the government doesn't control that at the Central Bank; regardless, we can't know — growth for 2025 next year, inflation of 3.5%, PCA of 3.5%, that is, slightly above the target.
Desconhecido
from the center of the target.
Desconhecido
But, in short, several other figures that you can highlight later.
Desconhecido
I wanted to question that 0.25% of GDP surplus.
Desconhecido
It would be the first time, since the fiscal framework has been in effect, that we would have a surplus.
Desconhecido
And for that, the government would need to make savings of 34... 1.3 billion, a lot of money.
Desconhecido
But expenses keep appearing; it's only expenses that show up.
Desconhecido
Now we have a new expense there, which I think will fall to the government, for example, to help pay those resources stolen from retirees by that organization, by those entities.
Desconhecido
It's about 6 billion, more or less; all retirees will receive what was improperly promised to them.
Desconhecido
Of course the CGU, the EGU are saying that we will try to extract the maximum amount of money from criminal entities, recover from them those who stole, have them pay, but we know it will not be enough.
Desconhecido
Well, other expenses keep appearing, I'm remembering some of them, but others show up.
Desconhecido
I'm asking you, I won't keep calling you 'ma'am', no.
Desconhecido
You are very young and beautiful.
Desconhecido
So, let's go.
Desconhecido
How do you save all that money in a country that constantly faces new expenses?
Well, Tereza, first you already helped me, because you already gave an overview of what the LDO is, which is the Budget Guidelines Law.
It provides guidance, it establishes for the country what the rules are, the direction, what we have, what we can and what we cannot do with the people's money, which is the budget.
The budget is nothing more than all that revenue that comes in, resulting, among other things, from the taxes of the Brazilian people, and what we can or will do with it.
with that money especially in the area of public policies.
We pay debt service, we invest in education, health, public security, infrastructure works, within a framework of rules.
