The candidate for the MDB for the presidency of the Republic, Simone Tebet, said this Thursday (8), in Dourados (MS), that food needs to arrive faster and cheaper at the Brazilian table. After meeting with local political leaders and businessmen at the Dourados Commercial Association, the presidential candidate said that for this to happen, a front of public-private partnerships is needed so that “the whole logistics project in Brazil gets off the ground”.
“This region [Grande Dourados] is one of the most important in Brazil, it helps to put cheaper food on the Brazilian table, which is what we want. But she alone can’t do it. That’s why it needs the Government, with a broad front of PPP (Public-Private Partnerships) and a logistics project in Brazil with railways and roads, such as the duplication of the BR-163″, he said, also remembering the need to speed up the process. of construction of Ferroeste, which will connect Mato Grosso do Sul to the Port of Paranaguá, in Paraná.
Health
In the health area, Tebet recalled the liability left by the pandemic with two years of delay in exams, consultations and surgeries. “We are going to eliminate this queue, passing from bottom to bottom to the municipalities and states that are executing [esses serviços]”, said. Another proposal defended by the candidate was the regionalization of health as an alternative to improve care in the country.
The emedebista promised that, if elected, she will create 400 regions across the country and guarantee greater transfers to the health area. “We are going to regionalize public health in Brazil. What is it? Take more or less 400 regions throughout Brazil, regionalize and ensure that federal government funding comes stronger and faster to the state and municipalities. That way we optimize, we take the same money and end up doing more, streamlining this service and service. Dourados is a regional hub, but the municipality alone cannot handle it, so we need to bring all the equipment, infrastructure and money to this hub so as not to lack the medical structure,” she explained.
This afternoon, the candidate travels to São Paulo where she will have a campaign agenda in the city of Araraquara.
