Eduardo Paes, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band November 19, 2020
TRUE
According to the Court of Accounts of the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro (TCMRJ), at the end of 2016, the municipality of Rio de Janeiro had enough cash to pay all the commitments already assumed. According to a report by councilor Felipe Galvão Puccioni, the city had R $ 545.36 million available and had to pay R $ 506.46 million in committed funds. Thus, there was a net R $ 38.9 million available at the end of Paes’ last year as mayor.
“You [Eduardo Paes] had municipalized two hospitals “
Marcelo Crivella, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band on November 19, 2020
TRUE
The Albert Schweitzer state hospitals, in Realengo, and Rocha Faria, in Campo Grande, they were municipalized by Eduardo Paes in January 2016. At that time, the then Governor of Rio de Janeiro, Luiz Fernando Pezão, affirmed that the municipalization of hospitals “alleviated” the state’s health crisis. “At this difficult time for state finances [a municipalização] exonerates the state from this commitment and makes us focus health resources more strongly on UPAs [unidades de pronto atendimento], at the Carlos Chagas hospital and at the Getúlio Vargas hospital ”. With the measure, according to the State Department of Health, the forecast for the economy would be around R $ 500 million annually.
“The [Paes] says more people died here [de Covid-19] than São Paulo. I do not know if he is a liar if he does not know how to do it “
Marcelo Crivella, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band November 19, 2020
FALSE
Contrary to what Crivella says, there were proportionally more deaths from Covid-19 in Rio de Janeiro than in São Paulo. According to data from the Rio City Council, 12,844 people died from the disease during the pandemic. In São Paulo, there were 14,104 deaths. However, when considering the population of both cities, the death rate in the capital of Rio de Janeiro is 66% higher.
According to the latest edition of PNAD Continuous Quarterly, in the first quarter of 2020, Rio has 6,736 million inhabitants. Thus, the mortality rate from the disease was 191 per 100,000 people. São Paulo has 12,296 million, and the proportion of deaths in Covid-19 was, therefore, 115 per 100,000.
Wanted The candidate’s press office said it would not take a position. “We are not going to comment, since the agency itself has already defined, on its own account, what is a fact or not, before consulting us,” says the note. The figures mentioned by To forget they are publicly provided by the municipalities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
“If you divide 10,800 people who died in Rio de Janeiro [de Covid-19]”
Marcelo Crivella, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band on November 19, 2020
UNDERESTIMATED
The number cited by Crivella is less than the real one. The Rio Covid-19 Panel, maintained by the City of Rio de Janeiro, shows that the municipality had 12,844 deaths from the disease until this Friday (20) – and not 10,800 as the mayor said. In total, the city had 129,631 people infected with the new coronavirus.

“(…) And also to divide 21 thousand who died in São Paulo [de Covid-19]”
Marcelo Crivella, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band November 19, 2020
EXAGGERATED
Crivella was also wrong when commenting on the death toll in São Paulo. According to the bulletin released by the mayor’s office last Thursday (19), the capital of São Paulo had a total of 14,104 deaths from Covid-19. The survey also indicates that the municipality had a total of 389,709 confirmed cases of the disease.

“We had double the fatality rate [entre pacientes de Covid-19] from Sao Paulo “
Eduardo Paes, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band November 19, 2020
TRUE
According to the Ministry of Health, the Covid-19 fatality rate, the relationship between the number of deaths and the number of people who had the active disease, is 9.9% in Rio de Janeiro. The data refer to those obtained up to November 19. There are 12,844 deaths per 129,631 confirmed cases. In São Paulo, the fatality rate is 4.2%. In the capital of São Paulo, there are already 14,101 deaths from Covid-19 for 336,703 confirmed cases. Therefore, the fatality rate of the disease in Rio is almost double that in São Paulo.
“I did 14 more family health clinics”
Marcelo Crivella, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band November 19, 2020
TRUE, BUT
Between 2017 and 2020, 14 Family Clinics were created in the municipality of Rio. However, this represents only 12% of the total of the 128 existing units. The program was created in 2010, under the direction of Paes, which inaugurated the other 114 clinics.
Between January 2017 and March 2020, Crivella’s management inaugurated ten units of the Family Clinic. After the start of the pandemic, another four new facilities they were opened in Bangu, Campinho, Marshal Hermes and Cidade de Deus.
Throughout Crivella’s tenure, professionals working at the Family Clinic carried out several strikes and demonstrations. They protested the lack of payment of wages and the lack of medicines to treat the population (see examples here, here, here, here, here me here). In July 2020, a G1 report showed that the Family Clinics staff and patients reported a dismantling of the program units. Equipment and materials were being moved from the old facilities to the new ones that the city was opening.
“I spent eight years in the City Council, nobody had a tax increase [IPTU] none”
Eduardo Paes, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band on November 19, 2020
FALSE
In 2016, the last year of the Eduardo Paes administration, the city of Rio de Janeiro created the project “Update Rio” to review the property registration information in the municipality. In practice, this resulted in the update of the property tax of some properties in the city. On your website, the city explains that the review was based on “aerial photographs and field studies in the properties where new constructions were verified, or alteration of other registry data, without due communication to the Municipal Finance Department.”
As a result, some properties were inspected and there was a change in the property tax for those who found irregularities. Municipal council informed although the taxpayer who does not agree with this update may challenge it at one of the IPTU service points. To facilitate this, in December 2016, the City Council published Resolution No. 2910, which simplified the documentation required in this case.
In 2017Mayor Marcelo Crivella signed a new law that changed the rules for collecting the tax. At that time, the forecast was that this revision would result in an adjustment, on average, of 70% of the IPTU in Grande Tijuca, Santa Teresa and Centro.
In a note, Paes’ adviser says that the measure “was not in any way an increase in the tax, but rather a set of modernizing and specific measures.” According to the press office, the law “corrected distortions” and allowed taxpayers to pay “fairer amounts.”
“You spent much less on early childhood education than I did, […] of your four years with my last four years “
Eduardo Paes, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band November 19, 2020
IT’S STILL EARLY TO SAY
It is not yet possible to calculate the total cost of Marcelo Crivella since the year 2020 is not over yet. However, averaging the amount paid in early childhood education during the last period of Paes with the first three years of the Crivella government, we saw an average annual difference of R $ 6 million, a reduction of around 1%.
From 2013 to 2016, Paes’ average spending on early childhood education was R $ 610 million per year, while the annual average for Crivella’s management, taking into account the data from 2017 to 2019, was R $ 604 million. The values were corrected by the IPCA-E. See the data here.
“We reached about 250 thousand children [em tempo integral] in my government “
Eduardo Paes, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band on November 19, 2020
TRUE
Inep data from the 2016 School Census show that the municipal education network had 273,307 full-time children in the last year of Eduardo Paes administration. Of these, 269,835 were in regular education and 3,472 in special education.
“The collection fell R $ 10 [bilhões, entre a gestão anterior e a atual]”
Marcelo Crivella, candidate for the City of Rio de Janeiro, in debate by Band on November 19, 2020
TRUE, BUT
Considering the first three years of the Crivella administration (2017 to 2019) with the last three years of the Eduardo Paes government (2014 to 2016), there is a decrease in the collection of the City of Rio de Janeiro, totaling R $ 10.1 billion less, with the values already corrected by the IPCA-E, figures that coincide with those mentioned by the candidate.
Despite a reduction of R $ 4.2 billion between 2016 and 2017, collection in Rio de Janeiro has been increasing since then. With values adjusted for inflation, total revenues were R $ 29 billion in 2018 and R $ 29.4 billion in 2019. This year, in accordance with the Budget Guidelines Law, the collection forecast is R $ 31 billion.
