About: prevent the PT from continuing in government (do not reelect the PT)
The PT destroyed my life three times.
I'm going to show you how I'm going to get my revenge.
A lot of people don't know my story.
And if you're enjoying my videos and the pre-campaign I'm doing... it's because I'm bringing proposals to change Brazil.
Very few people know my past and my motivations.

About: prevent the PT from continuing in government (do not reelect the PT)
My story is marked by sabotage carried out by the PT and its cronies.
That made me abandon my personal life, my company, law school, dreams—everything—in favor of this revenge that we are going to carry out together this year.
Sabotage number one happened when I got into the most competitive law school in Brazil, USP's law school.
Many presidents of the republic graduated from there.
Poets and intellectuals who shaped Brazil's history.
People ranging from Olavo Bilac to Ives Gandra, from Jânio Quadros to Álvaro de Azevedo, from Michel Temer to the majority of the presidents of the old republic.

About: combat ideological indoctrination in educational institutions
I entered law school, which unfortunately was already dominated by the left at that time, and I saw everything you can imagine.
Good classes and, at the same time, student strikes with the participation of professors.
It was at that time that a professor, Jorge Luiz Souto Maior, took part in the strikes with the students.
Remember the name of this man.
He is an extreme-left judge who writes for PT outlets and who destroyed economic activity in the city of Jundiaí and the surrounding region, a place where he was also...
a labor judge.
During that period I discovered, one, that law was not for me; and two, that that leftist environment had nothing to do with someone who really liked to work and create things.
It was there that I dropped out of law school to do the thing I like most in my whole life.
Work.
Second sabotage by the PT.
The destruction of the economy.
I began working, learning from my father how to turn around companies that were failing.
It was an amazing period.
I had to learn finance, sales, and production.
I worked in many different areas.
And the most special one, the company I ran—and note, haters, I never went bankrupt—was a company that made steel doors and windows.
You know that steel door?
That window with a steel grille that you see in houses in Brazil?
Pretty typical.
I made thousands of them.
I took the company when it was closed, owing everyone, with five months of unpaid wages; I managed to get it running, I fought with the union, recovered the clients, and we put a hundred people back to work there, restoring their jobs and their livelihood.

About: adopt policies for economic recovery
And we did very well from 2009 until 2013, until the PT's economic model, based on Minha Casa Minha Vida, destroyed part of the construction sector in Brazil.
My clients went bankrupt.
My clients defaulted.
And the professor from my law school, remember him?
He was the judge who wanted to rule against us in absolutely every case.
Even to the point of the company losing its tax documents and being unable to operate.
I, like tens of thousands of Brazilian companies at the time, had to stop our production.
It was the beginning of the famous crisis that closed companies and led to the end of Dilma Rousseff's government.
