Brazil-. President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has promised that today he will show Brazilian society what has been found after the change of government as a result of the current government under defeated President Jair Bolsonaro.
“We’re going to show you area by area so you know what Brazil is like on December 20 or 21,” announced the founder of the Workers’ Party on Friday at the Banco de Brasil cultural center in that capital.
After announcing the names of the first five ministers of his future government, he promised to present a painting of the South American giant mapped by the transition team on Christmas Eve.
According to Lula, they want to reveal to society “with the utmost seriousness and sobriety” what the interim government has found out as a result of the current “no fireworks”.
He insisted that “among other things, society knows where health, education, science, pensioners and workers are.”
If we don’t present it now, he added, “the excesses” of Bolsonaro’s executive will fall on our backs six months later, without naming the ex-military man he defeated in the October 30 elections .
He pointed out that “it is a government (the current one) with a very big body and a very small head, a government that prefers to make fanfares, talk and talk, and has failed to address the problems to solve that a government must solve”. he stressed.
During his speech, the mechanical extorner thanked the senators who voted in favor of the so-called Constitutional Amendment Proposal (PEC) for transition, stating that this was not a process run by his government.
He warned that such a PEC “should solve the problem of the budget made by Bolsonaro”.
He stressed that 600 reais ($112) would still have to be paid for the Auxilio Brasil program, renamed Bolsa Família, in addition to 150 reais ($28) for mothers with children up to six years old.
Bolsa Família was created in 2003 by the Lula government to help families in distress and extreme poverty and received its last payment on October 29, 2021. It was replaced by Axilio Brasil.
On that occasion, former Minister of Social Development and Fight against Hunger, Tereza Campello, denounced that the Bolsonaro government had withdrawn aid from millions of Brazilians without any kind of guidance, leading to queues of people at bank branches in different cities .
“There are more than 29 million families who have been completely disfellowshipped with no information, no guidance and no one trying to figure out if those families still need it,” he said.
