Hello, welcome to all viewers of TV 247.

It is a great pleasure to welcome former minister Simone Tebet, candidate for the Senate for the State of São Paulo.
Desconhecido
And we will address several topics here: the candidacy itself, her role in the Lula government, and expectations regarding the future.
Desconhecido
Thank you very much for the invitation, thank you very much for being here once again on TV 247.
Thank you, Tuxão.
It's a pleasure to be here once again, as you said, but it is the first time being interviewed by you.
But on your behalf I want to acknowledge all the journalists who are collaborators at 247, because they have always opened their doors with great journalistic rigor and with great generosity.
So the debates have always been held at such a high level that we always feel like coming back, you know?
Desconhecido
Especially Marcelo Auler, right?
Desconhecido
Marcelo Auler is special.
Desconhecido
One day I'll tell you why.
Desconhecido
Yes, no, but he is the one who has always worked hardest to secure interviews.
Desconhecido
That's true.
Desconhecido
Anyway, he could be here with us today, but he's in Rio de Janeiro; we're doing this from São Paulo.
Desconhecido
Well, this is a recorded interview, so there may be some questions related to what will happen tomorrow or afterwards.
Desconhecido
Today is Tuesday; it will be broadcast on Saturday, the 15th, right?
Desconhecido
The 15th.
Desconhecido
Well, Simone, I'd like to start by asking you a question.
Desconhecido
Who is Simone Tebit?
Desconhecido
How would you describe yourself?
Above all, I am a woman, a mother, and a Brazilian.
I am a daughter of Brazil's far interior, like so many women and men.
I am the daughter, I am the granddaughter of immigrants.
They found, including in the state of São Paulo, the first opportunities for Lebanese people on both sides.
My grandfather ended up in the region of Marília, Tupã, Lins, and some in Bauru.
Desconhecido
A merchant, like many Lebanese.
Desconhecido
We're cousins, right?
Yes, we used to call them 'mascate'.
And my grandfather was from the first generation, so he still faced a lot of discrimination.
Nowadays that no longer exists; Brazilians always welcome people with great generosity.
And thus, I am the daughter of a politician; my father was a politician by nature and my mother was absolutely religious.
She always said to me the following: 'my daughter, God gave you an opportunity and on Judgment Day he will ask you to open your hand and see what you did with the talents God gave you.'
You never went hungry, you had the opportunity to study, you have health, so you must fulfill some mission.
And I say that the great legacy of my mother, which I passed on to my daughters, is that the true inheritance for my daughters is not the properties that I might one day give them.
But I always tell them, my daughters, they... have already memorized this.
No one is happy seeing someone else's unhappiness.
- Neutral
About: reduce social inequality
So it's not possible to live in such a rich country with such poor people.
- For
About: reduce social inequality
So you need to do your part.
So I think that I am a politician and I am what I am, not due to my own merit, but because of the family I had and have and because of my mother's religious upbringing.
Desconhecido
Is your mother still alive?
