About: reform assistance programs for targeting and efficiency
Mr. President, isn't anyone seeing — nobody is seeing, everyone is blind, foolish, stupid — that a Government with no popularity wants to give away electricity for free, gas cylinders for free.
About: increase income of low-income families
It's a Government that prides itself on its people not having money to buy gas, damn it!
About: combat vote-buying
You must be kidding! You make the humblest and poorest people in this Brazil simply electoral slaves.
About: avoid populist policies and demagoguery
Lula's speech in 2002 is the same as in 2022, it hasn't changed at all.
About: reduce government spending
He is a populist scoundrel who is taking our country to record spending.
About: reduce taxes with measures to offset revenue loss
They're taking in the highest tax revenue in history and, even so, they keep asking for yet more money.
About: reduce poverty
Lula, truly, is the President who took the people out of poverty and put them into misery. The instruction is 'no', Mr. President.
About: reform assistance programs for targeting and efficiency
Mr. President, that line that people are in this situation because of a lack of welfare programs is such a lie!
About: reform assistance programs for targeting and efficiency
In fact, if you could, you would put the whole of Brazil on welfare programs, because that generates votes.
About: reform assistance programs for targeting and efficiency
We need to make sure assistance programs exist and actually reach people.
About: combat vote-buying
I came from the favela! What you can't do is this: 'Stay where you are so that next year you vote for me.'
About: guarantee parliamentarians' independence from pressures and retaliation
And what happens? In a little while, it's obvious — and you think I'm a sucker — they'll put out there: 'So-and-so votes against the electricity.'
About: guarantee parliamentarians' independence from pressures and retaliation
'So-and-so votes against the gas cylinder.' Do you think I'm afraid of that?
About: guarantee parliamentarians' independence from pressures and retaliation
Do you think anyone here is afraid of a little leftist pressure so they can brand us as the ones destroying Brazil?
I have never been President of this country, no.
You have. If this country is a piece of shit, it's because of the PT.
If this country is the way it is, it's because of them.
And, in every vote where we voted against, they want to put the entire blame for the country's situation on our shoulders?
Have some shame and own up to the horrible government you've run in Brazil since 2002.
