in the country, for the work carried out in Goiás.
My daughters, the firstborn Ana Vitória and my youngest, here Marcela, representing Maria and Ronaldo Filho.
I should also say that I am passionate and that I am also very dedicated to the breeding of my dogs.
Lately the president has tried to hold him responsible for the high interest rate.
About: defend private enterprise and property rights as policy principles
I should say that I have been in politics for many years, when it was actually the PT that created the MST and the Cria UDR, in defense of the right to property, free enterprise, and the market economy.
Over the years that followed, we were right about just one sector that had no world reference, that wasn’t pop nor was it tech, and which Caiado has defended since 1986 and which today is, without any doubt, the most competitive sector of the country’s economy.
it is the one that truly shows what is most modern, with the greatest productivity, with all due respect for the environment.
and at that time, in that youthful impulse, one might say, Kassab, of that age, when in 1988 I had the opportunity to meet Kassab, at that moment he was advising Afif in that contest, And my father called me, since I come from a political family, and said, my son, you are not in a position to be a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
You cannot run for an office where you will learn to govern in the most important post in the country.
You don't have a single white hair, my son.
You have to know that the presidential race is a contest that demands something like what you did in medicine.
Each time you progressed until you reached the condition of being a specialist.
Really at that moment, on that side of the euphoria and at the same time, I told my father that he should understand my rebelliousness.
but that he forgive me, but I would be a candidate.
But I say this because it shows how right he was.
Who was elected was also the same age as me and look what happened.
In other words, what we are witnessing today in Brazil is something that exists, that requires of the ruler more than ever knowledge and having... an ability such that in his life trajectory he can hold up as an example what he has truly practiced over the course of his career.
One does not govern by speech; one governs by example.
And then to be able to say that I have truly never equivocated in my positions and that I acknowledge
that during all my terms I never dishonored the vote of my voters and always fulfilled the arduous task of fighting for my convictions and for what I always felt was the sentiment of the people I represented.
I never betrayed my convictions, I never chose the ease of office, but also... to say that Brazil can no longer endure living a situation that has been a constant in these past years.
About: reduce political polarization and promote national unity
I can tell all of you that polarization is not a characteristic of national politics.
Polarization is sustained by a political project.
by those who truly benefit from it.
Can it be deactivated?
Yes, it can.
By someone who isn't part of it — that is, of the polarization.
About: grant broad amnesty to participants of the January 8 events
And that's what I intend to do upon reaching the presidency.
My first act will be precisely a broad, general amnesty.
Unrestricted, replicating what Juscelino Kubitschek knew how to do with great mastery for all those who really rebelled in the true attempted coup by the Air Force, where he said, "let me work and let's really pacify Brazil."
I came with that objective: to truly pacify Brazil.
About: grant broad amnesty to participants of the January 8 events
By amnestying everyone, including the former president, I will be giving a demonstration that, from then on, I will look after people.
It is what, as a physician and surgeon — my training — I have always known how to do.
I do it and continue to do it in politics.
In other words, only the patient has changed.
The practice is the same.
It's caring for people.
Thanks to that I arrive today, as governor of the State of Goiás, with an 88% approval rating in the State.
No one reaches 88% by being radical.
I am a person who learned to care for lives.
