The mayor of Belo Horizonte, Alexandre Kalil (PSD), was invited on Monday night (11/30) by the program Living wheel, from TV Cultura. The interview was held by the presenter, Vera Magalhes, who even compared her presence to a “day at Disney”.
For almost two hours, the mayor He spoke of his gesture, did not skimp on other politicians, covered Cruzeiro and evaluated his future possibilities, shaken by his expressive re-election.
Kalil confirmed that the presidency is on his radar. “If they want to take me (to the presidency), of course I will,” he said, admitting that he could be the leader of a PSD ticket to run for office.
He also stated that he does not rule out running for state government in 2022. “It is not out of place, I answered it during the campaign. But it is obvious that I have to respect the vote that I had, I have not even assumed the second term yet. We also have to see what the situation will be in Minas in two years, nobody knows, ”he said.
Kalil took the opportunity to fight the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu zema (New), who stated that the mayor “talks a lot and does nothing.” “I think the government of Minas is poisoned. Yesterday they sent me a recording of an interview he gave. When they summoned me, he said, ‘He talks a lot and he didn’t do anything.’ What I have to say about the governor of Minas is that he does not say or do anything. Belo Horizonte is off the menu of the Minas government. Because I am in debt to someone, I like who I owe. It attacks Belo Horizonte as if it owed Belo Horizonte, in the 36 months that it promised to pay, almost R $ 700 million ”, he criticized.
Vaccination
Kalil did not skimp on Jair Bolsonaro’s leadership in the face of the new coronavirus pandemic, and said that the president was wrong. “President Bolsonaro much was lost in the pandemic. Why did he miss so much? Let’s be very honest. He invested money in the pandemic. To deny the pandemic was to verbalize. It was free. It costs nothing. So the hardest thing to do, he did. It did not save in the pandemic. If he hadn’t denied it, he would have spent half of what he did. If he had led the no, he would have spent half of what he spent, “Kalil said.
He also regretted that the vaccination against COVID-19 is being politicized by Bolsonaro and the governor of So Paulo, Yes doria (PSDB). “When one does not want to, two do not fight. (The fight) It was politicized by both, yes. The 2022 elections are a long way off. If this Chinese vaccine arrives fast and works? Do you think the federal government will have the courage not to buy? That crime. accusation, ”he shot.
Gesture
Asked about one of his main promises of the 2016 campaign, the opening of the black box of BHTransKalil said he intends to create a kind of super secretary, which will add traffic management in the city and major city works, and will be managed by Deputy Mayor Fuad Noman.
Kalil also revealed the reason that made him open popular shopping malls during one of the most acute moments of the COVID-19 pandemic in Belo Horizonte. “There are presidents, ex-presidents welcome, who work in the box. That was my mistake. I have not explained it very clearly. The intention was not to provoke a seizure in a city that was already at its peak, ”explained the mayor.
The mayor also justified his problems with the collection of IPTU in the city, a fact that was explored by his rivals during the campaign. He explained that he owns 12.5% of a property, which has several partners. As PBH does not accept the payment of only 12.5% of the debt, Kalil said that it was impossible to settle the pending, since he would have to assume the entire debt alone.
