  1. Desconhecido

    The SBT News Journal is back with the second interview in the series with the candidates for the presidency of the Republic.

  2. Desconhecido

    Six presidential hopefuls most highly placed in the electoral polls were invited for interviews over the course of this week.

  3. Desconhecido

    By order determined by a draw, the second to detail his proposals is the Avante candidate, Augusto Cury, who is already here with us in the studio.

  4. Desconhecido

    Also with us are the presenters Amanda Klein and Lívia Zanolini.

  5. Desconhecido

    Candidate, good evening.

  6. Desconhecido

    The interview will last 30 minutes, which start counting from now.

  7. Desconhecido

    You are a psychiatrist, you have enormous experience as a writer, and you have sold millions of books speaking about personal development and the control of emotions.

  8. Desconhecido

    But what in that experience actually prepares you to run the country?

  9. Desconhecido

    A president needs to take care of public finances, negotiate with Congress, and confront crises.

  10. Desconhecido

    Are you prepared for the challenge?

  11. Desconhecido

    First of all, it is a great honor to be interviewed by you, who are a poet of communication, a human being of rare calibre.

  12. Desconhecido

    For

    About: not adopt a traditional political career

    Well, I'm outside of politics, I don't have the traditional experience of politics and I don't want to have it, because that traditional politics sank the country.
    Ethics and Public Integrity → View this statement

  13. Desconhecido

    And I am not only a writer; published in more than 90 countries.

  14. Desconhecido

    Considered, with great humility, the most read psychiatrist in the world.

  15. Desconhecido

    Not the most handsome, right Celso?

  16. Desconhecido

    The most read.

  17. Desconhecido

    Joking a little.

  18. Desconhecido

    And I am also a manager of companies.

  19. Desconhecido

    Some of our companies have had international impact.

  20. Desconhecido

    We invested in rare earths, renewable energies and also invested in agriculture, in various projects such as reforestation and grains.

  21. Desconhecido

    Citrus farming and so on.

  22. Desconhecido

    For

    About: reduce political polarization and promote national unity

    I have more experience than most of them in company management and more than the vast majority of them in assembling brilliant, notable minds to make a national pact to pacify this country whose radicalization has become schizophrenic, where people are much more concerned with sitting in the presidential chair.
    Political Polarization → View this statement

  23. Desconhecido

    I'll tell you, I have never encountered an environment as toxic as politics.

  24. Desconhecido

    An environment where it's an ego war, where people have few public projects but many personal projects.

  25. Desconhecido

    And I have already spoken with a large portion of the politicians, the leaders of this country; all of them treated me with a lot of respect and asked that question.

  26. Desconhecido

    They asked: 'How can someone who doesn't need, who doesn't depend on power, who doesn't depend on the prestige and money of power...?

  27. Desconhecido

    And perhaps... I have more than many candidates will ever dream of having.'

  28. Desconhecido

    Why am I entering the field of politics?

  29. Desconhecido

    Because worse than the action of the wicked and the corrupt is the omission of the good, those who have something to contribute.

  30. Desconhecido

    For

    About: reduce political polarization and promote national unity

    So, I think I can indeed contribute by inviting the best economists, the best public managers and private managers to make this national pact, not an ego pact.
    Political Polarization → View this statement

  31. Desconhecido

    It is not a party pact; it is not about Augusto Cury, writer and entrepreneur.

  32. Desconhecido

    It is a pact that embraces 213 million Brazilians.

  33. Desconhecido

    Now, candidate, your candidacy can be compared to other candidacies that arose in other elections of rich and famous people, big businessmen, who affiliated with small centrist parties.

  34. Desconhecido

    I cite, for example, Pablo Marçal in 2024.

  35. Desconhecido

    Also with Amoedo, indeed.

  36. Desconhecido

    Amoedo.

  37. Desconhecido

    And he ended up—speaking more specifically about Pablo Marçal—using his candidacy to sell online courses.

  38. Desconhecido

    Later.

  39. Desconhecido

    Is there a risk that your candidacy will be interpreted as possible self-promotion?

  40. Desconhecido

    And now I also want to pick up the thread—you mentioned your companies.
