This Wednesday (16), Guedes met for more than four hours with special advisers and secretaries to align the discourse of the economic team.

According to GloboNews, the meeting was called to align the economic team’s discourse, avoiding disagreements such as the recent speech by the portfolio’s special finance secretary, Waldery Rodrigues.

That is because, on Sunday (13), Waldery told the G1 that the economic team even studied the freezing of benefits such as pensions and pensions to create the Renda Brasil program, a substitute for Bolsa Família. Another measure discussed was the reduction of unemployment insurance.

On Tuesday (15), however, President Jair Bolsonaro said that considering this type of action is a “dream.” He also affirmed that it is “prohibited” to speak of Renda Brasil in his government.

“And the last thing, to close: until 2022, in my government, it is forbidden to speak the word Renda Brasil. We will continue with Bolsa Família, period,” Bolsonaro said in a video posted on a social network.

“Freezing pensions, cutting aid for the elderly and the poor with disabilities, a dream of someone disconnected from reality,” added the president.
