Hello, this is Poder Entrevista.
Desconhecido
I am Nicolas Prensa, editor at Poder 360, and I now interview Simone Tebet.
Desconhecido
Simone Tebet is the former Minister of Planning and Budget in the Lula government, a pre-candidate for the Federal Senate for São Paulo, and was a presidential candidate in 2022.
Desconhecido
Simone Tebet, thank you for accepting the invitation.

Fernando Haddad has already mentioned your name a few times, as well as Marina Silva and Márcio França, to make up the ticket as vice.
Desconhecido
Is there a possibility you would join as vice?
Desconhecido
Is the PT making an effort in that direction?
- Neutral
About: accept PT's support for a Senate candidacy for São Paulo
No, Nicolas, the PT has been with me more than once; in fact, one of the reasons for running as a pre-candidate, launching myself as a pre-candidate for the Federal Senate, was knowing that I have the PT's support here.
- Neutral
About: nominate an honest, decent vice president
in the State of São Paulo, and we will soon be in a collective decision, because it is a project of the country, of the country we want, of São Paulo that we want for the next four, for the next eight years; it is a collective project, we will collectively sit at a table deciding who will be the vice on Fernanda Haddad's ticket and the two candidates in convention for the Federal Senate for São Paulo.

In your assessment, what is the importance of having a woman on the ticket?
- For
About: Increase female participation in major candidacies and in Parliament
It is fundamental for the democracy we want.
- For
About: Increase female participation in major candidacies and in Parliament
There is no democracy without plurality.
Brazil is made up of men and women.
Society is made up of men and women.
And, unfortunately, that is not what happens in Brazilian politics.
- Neutral
About: Increase female participation in major candidacies and in Parliament
Brazil is one of the last countries in the world in female representation.
We have around 18% of women in politics, while the world average is 30%.
Bolivia has 50% female representation in its parliament.
- For
About: Increase female participation in major candidacies and in Parliament
So, being in the largest state of the Brazilian Federation, like São Paulo, on a major ticket without a single woman being represented is a very serious offense.
It is a disrespect to the population in general.
Not just to women, but to men and women, because if you ask Brazilians and male Paulistas, I have no doubt they will say the importance of women in politics, and I'm not even talking about 50%, I'm talking about 30%.
- For
About: Increase female participation in major candidacies and in Parliament
I am very happy that on our side of the ticket we will have 50%.
If we think of the candidacies for governor, vice, and two Senate seats as major names, we will have 50% women and 50% men, whether they are in the pre-candidacies to the Senate or are in a vice position.
Desconhecido
There have already been some indications that Flávio Bolsonaro could name a woman as his vice on the ticket.
Desconhecido
Do you consider that?
Desconhecido
Would that be a move and could it bring strength?
I don't usually talk about parties other than allied parties or the opponents' ticket.
I'll leave that; it's a criterion he has to establish.
- For
About: prioritize content and program when composing major slates
What I can say, Nicolas, is that it's no use applying perfume or talking about cosmetics on a ticket that is empty of content.
It is no use having men or women, or only women or only men, when you have a government program that represents civilizational setbacks.
- For
About: guarantee protection for women, the LGBTQIA+ community, and peripheral populations
I'm not only talking about the economy, I'm talking about rights; I'm speaking in comparison to a government of the father, to which I had the opportunity, in the Federal Senate, to oppose practically from the beginning, for realizing what a sham it was, it was elected... and, upon taking the chair, proved to be absolutely oblivious to Brazil's real problems.
and, in my view, the son who is now a pre-candidate is following the same path.
- For
About: ensure the State presence necessary to deliver excellent public services
So it is no use putting a woman on a major ticket to defend a project that does not defend — indeed, on the contrary, that rejects the rights of minorities, that has an agenda that does not engage with the agenda — and look who's speaking, someone from agribusiness like me — it does not engage with the sustainability agenda, that sees, in the economy, the presence of the State as the enemy, when in reality we don't have to discuss whether the State should be maximal or minimal; we have to find the necessary State, the size of the State must be what is necessary to serve, to provide excellent services to the Brazilian population.
- For
About: prioritize public policies focused on people's everyday lives
And I'm talking not only about education, health, public safety, I'm talking about social housing, I'm talking about urban mobility, which are two relevant and important issues in large cities, as is the case of São Paulo and the metropolitan regions of São Paulo.
So, answering your question, I think, in this specific case, absolutely indifferent, because it is a project of civilizational regression, a project that does not engage with the real interests of the Brazilian population.
Desconhecido
When announcing your pre-candidacy to the Senate for São Paulo, you said that you received many votes in the state in 2022 and that you have greater acceptance.
