Today our guest, the former Minister of Planning, who will also run for the Federal Senate representing the State of São Paulo.
Desconhecido
Minister, thank you very much for accepting our invitation.
I should be the one thanking you.
I want to address everyone following us on TV and through all the ways Jovem Pan reaches people's homes.
So, on behalf of you, Bruno, João, Verusca and Ramiro, I speak to everyone.
Thank you very much for the invitation.

Our panel has already been introduced.

Sorry.

We're at home; let me introduce the Metrópolis reporter, Ramiro Brits, the journalist Verúzica Donato, and our Jovem Pan reporter, João Vitor Revedi.
Desconhecido
Minister, I want to get straight to the point with you: you are from Mato Grosso do Sul.
Desconhecido
A native of Mato Grosso do Sul, eight years a senator for the State and now in São Paulo.
Desconhecido
We see some internal analyses, both from the opposition — names that would be your adversaries in an eventual Senate campaign — saying it's electoral opportunism to come to São Paulo.

How do you respond to that criticism?
I don't think I'm the one who has to respond to that criticism.
The one who has to answer is the voter at the polls in October.
First, you have to understand how São Paulo is different from the rest of Brazil.
And I know São Paulo a little bit.
I was born here on the border; I was raised visiting the entire northwest of São Paulo, the Arassatuba region.
My grandparents, when they came from Lebanon, came to Marília and to Bauru, respectively.
I know the interior of São Paulo very well.
My husband is from Birigui; my daughters have lived here for 10 years.
I did a master's degree.
here at PUC of São Paulo.
There is a very long history, but that's not even the reason.
It's not me — it could be you, Verusca.
São Paulo is that land... of opportunities, that land that was built thanks to the hands and minds of millions of Brazilians coming in search of opportunities from every corner and nook of Brazil.
It's hard to find a family in São Paulo that doesn't have someone from the Northeast or the North, whose father or grandfather came in search of opportunities.
It is the land that welcomes, that embraces.
Besides, Bruno, I only came for one reason.
I was a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, so I had the legitimacy to ask for votes across the entire country.
And the state that, to my pleasant surprise, gave me the most votes proportionally by far was the state of São Paulo.
It's not because it's the largest electorate; I'm speaking proportionally.
So I believe São Paulo had... an identity, a synergy with my proposals.
- For
About: Position oneself as a centrist politician
I am a centrist, who dialogues with both the left and the right.
- For
About: adopt an intellectually grounded conservatism
I obviously have some points where I'm more conservative; therefore, I'm closer to the right.
- For
About: identify with the progressive camp
On some issues I'm more progressive — I have, for example, human rights on my agenda with the left — but I am a centrist.
So, I deal with it very naturally.
São Paulo elects Cariocas, as it elected Governor Tarcísio, because it knows that... And this is a land of generous people.
I'll even finish with a line I adopted for myself — it's plagiarism.
So, I'm already saying it's plagiarism.
