My female friends and my male friends, we have overcome another year.
It is time to bring the family together, renew our energy and celebrate life.
And when the fireworks shine in the sky on the night of the 31st, a historic year in Brazil will have come to an end.
A difficult year, with many challenges, but a year in which all those who hoped for or worked against Brazil ultimately ended up losing.
A year... in which the Brazilian people emerge as the great winner.

First, because we came off the hunger map.

We supported family farming, raised the minimum wage, invested heavily in job creation and in school meals.

About: support keeping young people in school through programs
Pé de Meia helped millions of young people stay in school.
About: eliminate electricity tariff for low-consumption households and grant discounts for mid-level consumption
The people's gas and the people's electricity came to relieve the humblest families, because it is not fair that cooking and watching a soap opera or a football match on TV compromises the household budget.
About: restore the Minha Casa Minha Vida program
Minha Casa Minha Vida returned, reaching the middle class.
About: implement an effective housing program for low-income families
and Reforma Casa Brasil is also coming, because dignified housing is a fundamental right that must be guaranteed.

The fight against criminal factions reached the highest levels for the first time, and no money or influence will prevent the Federal Police from moving forward.
