Pereira also said that the Broad Front will present several initiatives during the parliamentary discussion, but will also “debate together with the neighbors”, in the tours that will begin in June.
“Parliament is a beautiful place to discuss, but we also have to transfer what happens in Parliament to the heart of the people, to the people, to where things are lacking, to where things are going wrong,” Pereira said.
