RIO DE JANEIRO (Sputnik) - Brazilian presidential
candidate Jair Bolsonaro (Liberal Social Party) promised to end the
"corrupt" system that in his opinion established the Workers' Party
(PT) in his years of government.
"More to do, we are going to undo the failed and
corrupt system that the PT built," the presidential candidate promised in
his account of the social network Twitter, when talking about his proposals for
a profound reform of the administration.

Survey assigns 58% preferences to Bolsonaro and 42% to
Haddad in presidential elections in Brazil
The ultra-right presidential promised to reduce expenses
"by reducing the number of state enterprises and ministries" and to
appoint technical and trained names as senior managers.
Bolsonaro also proposes to decentralize resources so that
municipalities and states have more financial autonomy and combat fraud in
social programs, because in this way "there is money left over to
guarantee more income for the most needy".
In recent days, the candidate made several references to
the expansion of the "Bolsa Familia" program, one of the flags of the
governments of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2011), which
managed to lift millions of people out of poverty extreme

boom
According to the local newspaper Folha de São Paulo, the
Bolsonaro team plans to launch in the next few days a program to universalize
public nurseries for babies and children up to three years and expand the
amount allocated to the "Bolsa Familia".
In total, the annual expenditure on these programs would
be around 100 million reais (26 million dollars).
Bolsonaro will face Fernando Haddad (PT) in the second
round on October 28, and although part as favorite, his strategy is to win more
support among the poorest, the traditional electorate of Lula da Silva's party.
Compare…
In the speech, it seems very nice: "We are going to put an end to
that maharajah game!" It is a shame that the phrase, dictated by the PSL
candidate, Jair Bolsonaro, is as deceitful as the image of honesty that he
tries to forge.
All his anti-corruption discourse falls to the ground when faced with an
inconvenient truth: his past. Bolsonaro is nothing more than an "old
fox" of parliament who cancels votes on charges.
One case, among many, illustrates well the difference between what he
talks about the mouth out and what goes out of the cabinet door inwards. In
1996, Bolsonaro imposed a condition to vote for the end of the IPC (Congress of
Pensioners' Institute): "I only vote if they help me to free up resources
in the budget or to indicate the director of state".
In this sense, some of his proposals on privatization and the
"opinion" that functionalism is "the great problem of
Previdencia in Brazil". The frauds he talks so much about, see, are the
ones he publicly admits to having the intention to do. What to expect from who
votes in the Chamber in exchange for resources and positions in an important
function as the president?
Another clear case that Bolsonaro is more on the side of the maharajas
than the people. "Just remember another statement by the PSL candidate
explaining the donation of R $ 200 thousand from the JBS group to his campaign
to deputy in 2014:" My party received a tip yes, but which party does not
receive a tip? "
Correction to the translator...
And the list does not stop there. In a session of the Chamber's
Constitution and Justice Committee, the deputy confessed that he hires direct
relatives. He cited the situation of his son Eduardo, now a federal deputy for
Sao Paulo, who was an official of the PTB leadership between 2003 and 2004. His
brother, who was exonerated, was a phantom official of Alesp and received R $
17,000 per month.
And he still has more. This same report of 1996 mentions that Bolsónaro
in the Chamber of Deputies, in 1993, had already preached the closing of the
Congress.
In those elections, the candidate also demonstrates the little or no
concern that he has with the transparency in his accounts: he has not yet
informed the Electoral Justice of the expenses of his campaign in the first
round nor answered the questions of the journalists about that. .
As we see, the anti-democratic ideas of the candidate are very old and
rooted. You cannot trust someone who speaks one thing and in practice acts
totally different.
And if you find something better…
Vote!
But, vote with the heart because the viscera cloud the
reason and without reason there never existed a good solution.
