BRASÍLIA – President Jair Bolsonaro said Thursday that Economy Minister Paulo Guedes is the face of economic policy. The president said he had 99.9% confidence in him. The remaining 0.1% would be for when Bolsonaro wants to “change something.” The speech was broadcast live on social media.
Consigned: Bolsonaro increases the credit margin for INSS policyholders
– Paulo Guedes maintains 99.9% confidence in me. I leave 0.1% because sometimes, I want to change something, I talk to him: “PG, damn, it’s not 100%, damn it. 0.1% is mine, come on, come on? You want everything to yourself, huh? You are very greedy. In a short time you will be fat like Tarcísio (de Freitas, Minister of Infrastructure). I don’t want you to gain weight, not the PG ”. He’s the policy guy, right? The last word is yours and that’s it.
Resources: Education loses R $ 1.4 billion with government works project; Marinho obtains R $ 2.3 billion
Bolsonaro made the statement while speaking about the recent rise in food prices. The president said that the price of rice should return to normal next year, with a “super harvest.”
– Some say that I have a table, he does not go to the table, we already know what happens with the tables, look at Venezuela, there it is. Does not have. In Brazil we are facing other economic plans in Brazil where there is a table, what happened? Add from the market. So our policy is free market, following the line of Paulo Guedes.
Citizen income: The political wing of the government is now betting on a new tax program to finance
The president’s statement also comes during the week in which the government analyzes the means to finance the Renta Ciudadana program. The proposal by Senator Márcio Bittar (MDB-AC), rapporteur for the Proposal for the Amendment to the Emergency Constitution (PEC), provides for the use of resources destined for Fundeb and the payment of court orders.
However, Minister Paulo Guedes opposed this source of funding. Speaking Wednesday, he said he would not use a “pull” for the basic income program. This Thursday, Guedes’ special advisor, Guilherme Afif Domingos, described the idea as “strange.”
On the live broadcast, Bolsonaro even spoke about the discussion about the show, saying that the economy might not recover until next year.
– It is not easy, the problems, we are with Renda Brasil, taking money from where, there is, there is not, chasing. We know that in January, February of next year, emergency aid ends in December and the economy may not have recovered by then, we have 38 million informal workers, they are currently invisible and not all of them will be able to return to the market.
