- Neutral
About: increase investment in public infrastructure
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen Senators, a topic I have discussed a lot with the people of my state of Rondônia is the issue of infrastructure.
Brazil is a giant within its borders, with an extraordinary production capacity.
My state of Rondônia is a state that produces food, that supplies part of Brazil's demand and that has very strong exports, both of our animal protein, our livestock, and also our agricultural products — soy, corn, coffee.
I have traveled through the 52 municipalities of the State of Rondônia...
Rondônia has, today, about 6 thousand kilometers of state highways, Senator Girão.
- Neutral
About: expand road transport infrastructure
Of those 6 thousand kilometers of roads, only 1.5 thousand kilometers are paved, and 4.5 thousand kilometers are dirt roads, with mud in the rainy season, with dust and potholes in the dry season, making life difficult for those who work and produce in my state.
About: increase investment in public infrastructure
Rondônia needs a revolution in the field of infrastructure.
About: expand road transport infrastructure
Providing new logistics corridors, new alternatives for those who produce, will reduce logistics costs and will bring, Senator Alan Rick, my dear Senator, future Governor of the State of Acre, development to the regions.
- Against
About: increase consumption taxes
Sometimes a ruler has the false idea that, to increase the state's revenue, the recipe is to raise taxes.
- Against
About: increase consumption taxes
That is the mistaken recipe. That is the recipe for backwardness.
About: increase investment in infrastructure, skills training, and science and technology
The liberal recipe, the recipe of those who want to increase revenue while preserving and increasing job creation, is precisely the recipe of investing in what will generate economic development; and there is no sector that drives economic development more, especially in states with a vocation for agribusiness, as is the case of the State of Rondônia, as is the case of the State of Acre and other states of Brazil, than infrastructure, because those who produce out there want to get their product out safely.
- Neutral
About: expand agricultural storage capacity
We already have an infrastructure problem that compromises a good part of the value of our product, which is the fact that we do not have a storage system.
Today we have a culture that is one of production, and the warehouse is the truck's cargo bed.
You take the corn, you take the soy, you take the coffee.
Finished being produced? It is put... My dear, long-serving Minister, Tereza Cristina, it is thrown into the truck's bed to hit the road, reach the port and conquer the world.
- Neutral
About: expand agricultural storage capacity
We do not have a storage system commensurate with Brazil's demand.
- Neutral
About: increase investment in public infrastructure
So we lose financially, a lot, because of this. The other challenge, besides the lack of storage capacity, is the lack of infrastructure.
This increases the cost for producers, this makes life harder for those who produce.
I wanted, as I speak here about the deficiency that the State of Rondônia has in the field of infrastructure...
And see that it is not just the absence of new paved connections.
It's not that the state hasn't paved new routes...
About: expand road transport infrastructure
And it truly hasn't. In the last eight years, in terms of state highways, we had less than 100 km of highways.
About: expand road transport infrastructure
While the neighbor Mato Grosso announced, in the last two years, more than 3 thousand kilometers, Rondônia did not have 100 km of paved roads in the last eight years.
About: promote the state's economic development through investment in infrastructure
So we are very far behind, way below. And we want to promote economic development, and with that comes social development, with that comes the improvement of the income of those who are in the countryside.
About: expand road transport infrastructure
We need to do this. Our challenge is not only state highways, but federal highways as well.
- Against
About: concede roads to the private sector (implement tolls)
The toll issue burdens the population of Rondônia, burdens those who are producing in Rondônia, and I was already denouncing this when I assumed the Infrastructure Committee of the Federal Senate.
- Against
About: concede roads to the private sector (implement tolls)
I was already saying: "This toll they want to put in Rondônia, which will harm Rondônia and Acre, is a disgrace!
- Against
About: concede roads to the private sector (implement tolls)
It is aggressive! It is disproportionate!". And the result is there: the cost for the citizen who drives a car has increased a great deal.
- Against
About: concede roads to the private sector (implement tolls)
The cost for the carrier has increased too much, and those who are paying this bill are the producers.
In addition, we still have a situation, which is our 319.
I am not here in the Senate only as a Parliamentarian of Rondônia, although I am very proud to be a Parliamentarian of Rondônia, but I am here as a citizen who is tired of seeing our state being treated as the end of the line.
Much of Brazil looks at Rondônia, looks at Acre as the end of the line, and we are not the end of the line.
