MDB presidential candidate Simone Tebet visited the Brazilian Paralympic Training Center in São Paulo this morning (23). Alongside the vice candidate Mara Gabrilli, Tebet said that the government program presented by them is the most inclusive in history: “our government program, mine and Mara’s, is the most inclusive because we have placed this issue as the main axis . We will have a government of inclusion for all. Brazil has more than 17 million people with disabilities and 13 million with rare diseases. There are approximately 30 million people who are in the greatest invisibility. No SUS door should be closed to these people, but more than that, we need to guarantee quality of life for these people”.
During the visit, the emedebista talked to football athletes for amputees and highlighted the work of Gabrilli, who is quadriplegic “I remember her struggle, in 2015, when she was a federal deputy and voted for the LBI (Brazilian Inclusion Law) for the right to to guarantee an extra percentage of the lotteries to be able to pay for such a large and important space as this one. Having Mara as vice president is a great joy”.
Still focusing on people with disabilities, the presidential candidate defended the creation of incentives so that the industrial and commercial sectors can, even with tax exemptions, hire more. “The productive sector needs to have benefits to include everyone. This is equity: ensuring that people with difficulties have an opening in the job market, in the health market, in sports activities”, she evaluated.
About how she intends to conduct this last week of campaign, the emedebista said she doesn’t have a strategy. “We are women. I am a mother and teacher. Mara, senator, having been a federal deputy. We are doing here what we have always done in our public life. In other words, looking at people, putting people first, we have a life of righteousness,” he said.
