And as announced here, a promise is a debt and we keep it.

We're going to have an important interview here on CNN 360.
Desconhecido
We have here in the CNN studio in São Paulo, Ronaldo Caiado, former governor of Goiás and pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic for the PSD.
Desconhecido
Participating in the interview, besides me, are Débora Bergamasco, Isabel Mega in Brasília, Pedro Wenceslau here in São Paulo, and Vinícius Mourad also joining us.
Desconhecido
And of course, Governor, very welcome here, good afternoon, sir.
Desconhecido
I want to start with a question.
Desconhecido
You announced the former congressman and former minister Roberto Branche as coordinator of your government program.
Desconhecido
He, who is a founder of the PSD, is a politician from Minas with a long history, from a family with numerous contributions to Brazil, including himself and his brother Fernando Branche.
Desconhecido
I'd like to hear from you about what role Roberto Branche will have, then, what are the... main guidelines he will have in that program.
Desconhecido
And I'm going to ask a question I already asked you, to see if we can move forward a bit.
Desconhecido
Also, when one talks about a government program, there is great expectation about who is the name or profile to lead the economy in a potential government of yours.
Desconhecido
Have you been able to further mature that name a bit?
Desconhecido
I asked that question during an appearance on Roda Viva, you said you still didn't have a name.
Desconhecido
Can you go a little further now?
Desconhecido
Good afternoon, welcome.
Good afternoon, thank you very much, Yuri, for being able to participate here.
Of this conversation, which is fundamental so that people can get to know us and, at the same time, we can also explain and answer topics as relevant as those that were raised here.
The first point, you know Brant — I know him, he was my parliamentary colleague, and he's someone who has been around us for many years.
Brant's role is to coordinate.
What is this objective?
If you leave a government plan scattered, you can't complete it.
So, the coordinator's purpose, in addition to possessing that capacity, is Brandt's intellectual caliber.
He is, as they say, a player who plays in all positions.
If you discuss education with him, health, security, social programs, infrastructure, he is someone who has an ability, a vision of Brazil in its entirety.
He is not a compartmentalized politician; he's not a politician who specializes in just one issue.
So, he has that vision, he is a modern person and as such we will listen.
Various people in each of the areas.
And then you come with the second question.
You know this topic is one where, even regarding what we're hearing, they ask that certain things really not be disclosed, right, from the perspective that they have other interests, they are providing services as well.
So this is something that is not appropriate and I would never do that.
to cause any embarrassment to those people.
They will be gathered, they will be presenting proposals within what they imagine given the current scenario, which is challenging.
We know it is challenging.
Desconhecido
What is the number one challenge of this scenario?
- Neutral
About: reduce public debt and maintain fiscal responsibility
Number one challenge, as you were showing a little while ago, is the degree of indebtedness of Brazilian society.
- Neutral
About: reduce public debt and maintain fiscal responsibility
The country's level of indebtedness is raising its debt-to-GDP ratio to percentages never seen before, today approaching 80%.
- Neutral
About: reduce public debt and maintain fiscal responsibility
Today the IMF is placing Brazil at a level of 100% debt-to-GDP.
- Against
About: promote populist measures promising to end the 6-for-1 schedule
You see a populist process trying in every way to deceive, once again, the Brazilian population.
- Neutral
About: combat corruption and impunity
You see a complete debacle in this area of corruption.
- Neutral
About: combat corruption and impunity
which today affects all branches of the Republic, that is, it's more focused today on the problem at the level of the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal), but it also spills over into the National Congress, into the president's office, the Brazilian executive.
