and my male friends.
We have just completed a year and a half in government.
Thanks to God and the trust of the people.
which helped us defeat the attempted coup of January 8.
Democracy prevailed.
It is time to report to every Brazilian family.
When I finished my second term, 14 years ago, the economy was growing by 7.5%.
Job creation, wages and family income were rising and inflation was falling.

such as the Farmácia Popular and Minha Casa Minha Vida were abandoned.

It was a country in ruins.
They said they defended the family, but they left millions of families in debt, impoverished and unprotected.

The minimum wage once again rose above inflation and almost 90% of professional categories saw real wage increases.
We approved equal pay between women and men. More than 2.7 million formal jobs were created. And the unemployment rate is the lowest in the last 10 years.
We exempted from income tax those who earn up to two minimum wages. 24 million people were freed from the nightmare of hunger.

The Mais Médicos program has nearly doubled, with 25,000 doctors serving across the country.
We increased the number of daycare places, expanded funding for universities and are opening 100 new federal institutes. We launched Pé de Meia, a savings program to give families the assurance that their children will not be forced to leave school to work.
We have already guaranteed one million new places in full-time education.
to give fathers and mothers the peace of mind of knowing their children spend the day safely at school. Environmental protection has returned to being a priority and we have reduced Amazon deforestation by 52%.
We revived policies protecting the rights of women, Black people, indigenous peoples, people with disabilities and LGBTQIA+. The
Brazil...
found itself again.
With civility.
My female friends.
And, my male friends,
we launched the largest Plano Safra in history to finance Brazilian agriculture.
The new PAC is allocating large investments for infrastructure works, railways, highways, energy, drainage and risk assessment.
