119 million?
A party president?
How did nobody warn us about this?
I'm a party president and I'm broke?
Guys, I'm even reeling from this.
Listen up.
- Neutral
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
The president of the PL, Valdemar da Costa Verde, apparently—everything leads us to believe he is— is involved in a scheme of amendments.
- Neutral
About: increase transparency in the execution of parliamentary amendments
You know those multimillion amendment funds that get passed around to deputies in Congress?
- Neutral
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
Well, the party president apparently benefited to the tune of about 119 million reais from amendments embezzled from the deputies themselves.
I'm kind of in shock, because here's the thing: I'm a party president, and before long they're going to think I'm getting rich.
I don't even know what I'd do with 119 million reais.
Seriously, before long I'll have a bunch of gigs where I'll play with a gold guitar.
I like to have barbecues or eat those gold steaks.
You know the guy who sprinkles a little salt and eats with gold leaf?
Good heavens, 119 million.
And do you know what's the craziest part of all this?
- Neutral
About: ensure transparency in campaign financing
Per year, his party, the PL, receives more than those 119 million.
So imagine everything he can do from the inside.
I'm not even talking about the outside—I'm talking about the inside, being in a multimillion structure.
- Neutral
About: ensure transparency in campaign financing
Just so you understand, Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign is going to have hundreds... times more money than my campaign.
When I run for president, if I run for president for my party.
So these guys have infinite money and they're not satisfied.
- Neutral
About: investigate diversion of parliamentary amendment funds
He has to go there and take part in a corruption scheme to put money in his own pocket.
And I know there are a lot of people who say, 'ah, I'm a Christian, ah, I'm a patriot.'
I understand, they're Brazilians, they don't like the PT and they call the PT thieves—with reason.
But these people go and support a guy who does this.
- Neutral
About: investigate and hold politicians accountable for corruption
Remember that this same Valdemar da Costa Neto was arrested because of the Mensalão scandal.
Later he was arrested again.
This guy is considered so, so problematic that, during Dilma's big government, she pushed him and his party out.
- Neutral
About: investigate and hold politicians accountable for corruption
I'll say Dilma Rousseff because she carried out an ethical clean-up.
Imagine the PT carrying out an ethical clean-up and you being swept out by the PT.
Imagine you being considered by the PT too corrupt to be in its government.
This is the party of the Brazilian right.
I'll tell you something.
In a government of mine, I'm speaking from the heart.

About: arrest and hold those involved in corruption accountable
Not only this party president, but all the other party presidents have to be arrested.
- For
About: arrest and hold those involved in corruption accountable
He was involved in scandal, corruption and exposure; he has to be jailed.
There's not much to say, no.
And, man, this guy has been arrested before, so we shouldn't even be discussing this anymore.
But this is Brazil today, this is the Brazil we live in.
