About: prohibit states and municipalities from engaging in risky financial operations
Brazil is not at stake, nor can the states and municipalities be part of this gambling that has been established.

About: favor unproductive markets with federal subsidies
in favor of the unproductive market by the federal government.
I want to say here first, and to once again reinforce my congratulations to Deputies Pedro Paulo and Mauro Benevides, from different ideological camps, but who came together for this project which is

About: sell part of Sabesp's shares through a follow-on
of the most important since the vote approving the pension reform. There is a provision, as has been stated, for the State to sell shares of state-owned companies, for cuts in tax waivers, tax exemptions, the infamous Bolsa Lobista. Today Brazilians pay R$330 billion per year in these tax exemptions.
- Neutral
About: adopt payment auctions for debt settlement
Payment auctions for debts: in a regular auction you decide, you sell to the one who offers the highest price. In a payment auction the logic is the opposite. The one who offers the greatest discount on his receivable is the one who receives payment from the government. In other words, a saving of the taxpayer's money. An auction in which the one who agrees to receive less is paid sooner. Good for the recipient, who is paid by a State that is slow to pay, and good for the taxpayer who sees the debt paid with his money being reduced.
- Neutral
About: approve the bill under discussion
Unfortunately, even so, despite the agreement, we had, we had speeches opposing the project,
- Neutral
About: sell part of Sabesp's shares through a follow-on
criticizing the total or partial divestment of shares by the states and municipalities to deal with the debt.
About: reduce tax exemptions
But despite the anti-bank, anti-corporate rhetoric, what we saw in practice in the PT governments, in left-wing governments, was precisely the opposite. The anti-bank discourse did not hold up with interest rates being pushed to 15%, turning Brazil into a paradise for scientists. Taking the taxpayer's money to give to debt payment. And the increase of the Bolsa Lobista from R$78 billion in 2006 to R$264 billion in 2016.
- Neutral
About: reduce tax exemptions
In other words, the Bolsa Lobista, the Bolsa Empresário, increased by practically R$200 billion during a left-wing administration.
About: introduce a tax on large fortunes
Taxation of large fortunes did not occur; on the contrary. In Lula's first term, during the tax reform, Lula gave up the tax on large fortunes that was in the reform in order to approve the CPMF; that is, he burdened the ordinary citizen more, burdened the poorest more, in exchange for abandoning what was one of his main banners, one of his main speeches, which was the tax on large fortunes. More than that.
- Neutral
About: re-nationalize privatized companies
Despite the rhetoric against privatization, during Lula's first term we had a legislative decree project from PSOL that proposed the review, the renationalization of Vale, and the PT, a PT deputy, presented a report against the renationalization of Vale saying that Vale's privatization had caused an increase in employment, an increase in tax payments by a company that had previously run at a loss, and an increase in exports.
- Neutral
About: implement a fiscal reform on the expenditure side
In other words, absolutely everything that was presented here as a draconian fiscal adjustment measure was done,
About: reduce tax exemptions
during left-wing governments that spoke out against banks, spoke out against companies, but provided tax exemptions and 15% interest rates for scientists. Thank you, Mr. President.
