He participated today (8th) in a sabbath on TV Brasília and Correio Braziliense. “With what we saw in Brazil, here in Brasília, on the Esplanada; in São Paulo, on Paulista; in Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro; I think the election in the 1st round is decided. There’s no reason for the other side to win. The people are with us”, said the candidate.
The president was asked about the reaction of opponents, who consider that the public machine was used in the Bicentennial celebrations, favoring rallies. “What are you accusing me of? I was on the 7th of September here in Brasília, the parade ended, I took off the banner and went to the people. If any other candidate wanted to show up there, that was fine. It was not my act. It was an act of the population,” he argued.

According to him, the transfer has already been guaranteed by the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes. “What I talked about with Paulo Guedes, to look for alternatives to be definitive, starting next year. He said it will be definitive. [presidente da Câmara] Arthur Lira. He said that, depending on the Chamber, we will seek alternatives for this. What Paulo Guedes wants is to tax a portion of those people who earn more than R$400,000 per month. It is taxing what exceeds BRL 400,000, called dividends, for which nothing is paid, paying 15%. The whole world pays it, except us here, ”he said, adding that it will be possible to correct the income tax table as well.

There are more than 400,000 land titles to people who, until recently, occupied a piece of land and were considered to be possessions. We gave dignity to these people. The issue of weapons, firearms, also brought peace to the countryside. Private property is sacred. Whoever enters there, cannot be greeted with flowers. This greatly repressed the actions of the MST”, declared Bolsonaro.
