It’s the worst political class in Brazil, which is the political class of Maranhão.
I’ll repeat, it’s by far the worst political class in Brazil.
- For
About: promote the Northeast's economic development
The Northeast is the solution, because if we empower the working, productive Northeast, and that Northeast defeats its oligarchies, the Northeast won’t be living with its hand out in Brasília.

About: promote the Northeast's economic development
The Northeast will stop exporting migrants to other places to live in an undignified way in favelas, in poor neighborhoods and large urban centers, and will become a place that receives people.
That’s what the Northeast has to be.
The Northeast as it should be, that’s what it is.
- For
About: defeat Maranhão's political elites
And that Northeast will become... Defeating that elite is a war we have to fight.
This case is very serious.
You can’t be celebrating the fucking mess of a Brandão/Braide carnival.
Fuck the carnival again, a thousand times over.
I came to warn you.
- Neutral
About: apply penalties for vote buying
Buying votes gets you 20 years in prison.
- Neutral

Selling your vote gets you 10 years in prison.
- For
About: eradicate vote buying and selling
People will stop selling and buying votes.
The rule around here is vote buying.
- Neutral
About: ensure correct application of parliamentary amendments
The rule around here is diverted amendments.
And what was my surprise when I went through certain towns?
Santo Antônio do Lopes has a mayor from the PL.
- For
About: combat corruption and practices of political clientelism
Seeing that the right here does the exact same thing.
And everyone’s argument is, oh no, it’s different here.
Here in Maranhão we adapt.
I don’t want to adapt.
And I don’t think you should remain adapted to the absurd.
- For
About: organize popular demonstrations against governments or corrupt acts
You don’t have to accept the absurd, and I can say with all the calm about all the states I’ve been through, on all the trips I’ve made around Brazil, this is the one in the worst state of affairs.
- Neutral
About: reduce regional inequalities and improve development indicators (HDI)
The situation in Maranhão is a disgrace, it’s a place that lives as if it were a country at war.
The situation in Maranhão is frightening.
Every road you drive on, you burst a tire on your car, or if you swerve to avoid a pothole, you drive your car in front of a truck.
- Neutral
About: improve public transport infrastructure and services
I saw agricultural production having to go ten kilometers per hour in the south of the state to get their soy and corn production out, because they can’t travel on those roads.
And I wonder, do they just keep driving back and forth?
All the politicians, all the politicians here are superstars.
It’s not Brandão, it’s Braide, it’s Brandão, I don’t know what.
- Neutral
About: restore and maintain public roads in Maranhão
And nobody can fill the fucking hole.
I saw a fight, I saw at the beginning of the year, who puts on the biggest carnival in Brazil?
Then it’s Braide, it’s Verso Brandão.
Fuck the carnival, damn it!
Fuck it!
What the fuck kind of carnival is this?
You are being treated like animals.
- For
About: prioritize public spending on essential services over events
Human rights — let’s talk here — the human rights of those poor populations I visited, all impoverished, but the carnival was on schedule.
The money for Belmar’s show was guaranteed.
