49 statementsFull transcript of the video. Statements the analysis classified carry topic and stance.
- Against
About: increase funding for municipal education
Mr. President, the Missão Party instructs "no". Teachers do not receive the salary floor and will not receive it because of this provisional measure.
- Against
About: increase funding for municipal education
Today it's very easy for Parliament, the Federal Government, the National Congress to say they will raise the teachers' salary floor without guaranteeing resources to the States and Municipalities to, in fact, implement that floor.
- Against
About: increase funding for municipal education
They say the funds will be taken from Fundeb, but the provisional measure does not transfer a single more cent from Fundeb to the States and Municipalities so they can comply with that floor.
- Neutral
About: increase funding for municipal education
The courts of accounts point out that more than 80% of the States do not pay the current salary floor.
About: cut mandatory parliamentary amendments and the secret budget
The National Congress does not make any sacrifice of its own, because there is no shortage of money.
About: cut mandatory parliamentary amendments and the secret budget
What is missing is for the Congress itself to make cuts, including curtailing the privileges of the Parliamentarians themselves, so that, in fact, there are resources for the Municipalities and the States.
- Against
About: increase funding for municipal education
So, out of the duty of my own conscience not to want to mislead the teachers, the voting instruction is "no".
About: implement regional development policies in Pará
Mr. President, the Missão Party votes in favor of Deputy José Priante's report, and 100% in favor of his report for the development of Pará — of Santa Isabel, my mother's; of Ananindeua, my uncles' — of pato no tucupi, of maniçoba, of the Ver-o-Peso tonic. So we vote in favor.
About: guarantee legal security for rural producers
Mr. President, the Missão Party instructs "yes". I want to congratulate the work of Deputy Marussa and say that it is essential to have, at minimum, the right to a defense — before taking a measure as onerous as those, unfortunately, being taken today — to guarantee a minimum of legal certainty and justice in relation to the rural producer. So, congratulations, Deputy Marussa!
- Against
About: regulate fuel prices
Mr. President, I think they learned nothing from the Sarney Government.
- Against
About: criminalize abusive price increases
When there is a price increase, the solution is to criminalize the price increase, which causes shortages, which causes smuggling, which strengthens organized crime.
- Against
About: implement fuel price controls
I'm eager to see the little people with the little star going to inspect the stations, the distributors or Petrobras itself, putting up signs "Lula's Inspector", to see if price control will work.
- Against
About: regulate fuel prices
It's obvious that this has no economic effect; it's pure populism, pure demagoguery.
- Neutral
About: criminalize abusive price increases
Look at what the text says: price increase in, quote, "supply crisis or relevant market instability".
- Against
About: criminalize abusive price increases
Who will judge what is instability? Who will judge what is relevant in that market instability?
- Against
About: criminalize abusive price increases
This is absolutely subjective; it will not generate a reduction in the price of anything.
About: remove the price-control proposal from the agenda
Therefore, our instruction is "yes" to removing it from the agenda.
- Neutral
About: ensure fuel supply
Mr. President, there will be a diesel shortage in Brazil because of the Lula Government — let that be recorded!
About: invest in science and technology in the oil, gas and refining sector
Petrobras stopped importing diesel. The PT governments had 20 years for us to become self-sufficient in all petroleum derivatives.
Every time we invested in refineries so Brazil would not depend on the world, what happened?
About: investigate and punish corruption in major public works
At Abreu e Lima and in Pasadena, there were major corruption scandals in which PT governments plundered our country, using refineries that should have been used so we could be self-sufficient, so we wouldn't need to import diesel, so we wouldn't have to import any petroleum derivative.
- Neutral
About: ensure fuel supply
Today we have our own oil production, we are self-sufficient in crude oil, we export oil, but we still need to import derivatives because we don't have refineries capable of meeting the national market.
- Against
About: properly hold fuel sector actors accountable
I heard all kinds of nonsense here — and mind you, I'm no specialist in the oil and gas sector — but, just by knowing a little more than the basics, I wouldn't say such big nonsense as: "Look, the problem is the distributor's sale".
- Against
About: properly hold fuel sector actors accountable
Folks, a distributor is not responsible for refining, for our not having diesel here, for us not being self-sufficient in petroleum derivatives.
- Against
About: properly hold fuel sector actors accountable
The distributor has absolutely nothing to do with this point.
- Against
About: punish gas stations for abusive price increases
"Oh no, it's because there is an abusive increase by the gas station".
- Against
About: punish gas stations for abusive price increases
Folks, gas stations face high competition; they compete for profit margins in pennies.
- Against
About: regulate fuel prices
Even if there are major abuses by gas stations, Brazil's problem is much deeper than such a shallow and populist debate.
- Neutral
About: invest in science and technology in the oil, gas and refining sector
During the last 40 years — and I'm not only talking about PT governments — we did not have the capacity to invest in science and technology in the oil and gas sector and in refining, to become self-sufficient.
- Neutral
About: implement state reform and modernize infrastructure
We lost historic opportunities, as we lost several over the last 40 years, in productivity, modernization, State reform, and infrastructure improvement.
In short, Brazil fell behind on every indicator when compared with other emerging countries.
About: expand refining capacity and invest in technology in the oil and gas sector
In the oil and gas sector, once again, even being blessed with natural resources, we have such a capacity for self-sabotage that, even so, at this time of international oil crisis, it shouldn't have been bad for Brazil.
About: expand refining capacity and invest in technology in the oil and gas sector
Brazil should have had a tremendous competitive advantage, with which it would profit by selling to other countries that would be needing these products.
We have put ourselves in the pathetic situation we live in today.
- Neutral
About: ensure fuel supply
We have put ourselves in this situation of depending on products from abroad.
- Neutral
About: ensure fuel supply
And now Petrobras, just so it doesn't have to raise prices in an election year, stopped importing.
- Neutral
About: ensure fuel supply
And it's not as if this will make the product cheaper and that the product will still be there.
About: ensure fuel supply
There simply will be no product. There will be shortages, because the Government does not want to assume the burden of taking an unpopular but necessary measure. Hence my opposing position, Mr. President.
- Against
About: regulate fuel prices
Mr. President, price control doesn't work; it only generates shortages, only generates smuggling, only strengthens crime.
We have already had this experience. We should have learned this decades ago, back in the Sarney Government.
