How were the first hundred days of the Bolsonaro, Temer, Dilma, Lula, FHC, Itamar and Collor governments

Lula’s third government celebrates 100 days this Monday the 10th; remember the beginning of the mandate of the last seven Brazilian presidents

SPECIAL FOR ESTADÃO – Lula’s third term turns 100 days this Monday 10, and the president takes advantage of the date to defend his successes in the period, which was no different with his predecessors. Between political crises, difficulties in dialogue and declarations culminating in protests and criticisms, the first 100 days of government of the last presidents of the Republic were marked by attempts to follow up on what remained of the previous government and guide new agendas.

OR Stadium did a survey on what the first days were like from Fernando Collor de Mello to Jair Bolsonaro. Remember:

Fernando Collor de Mello

The first president to be impeached in Brazil, the 100 days of the Collor government were marked by the controversial freezing of savings. The new president, who intended to contain inflation and stabilize the economy, sought to do so at the expense of freezing the savings of all Brazilians, who found themselves unable overnight to withdraw money from their bank accounts .

To kickstart administrative reform, Collor revealed it planned to lay off 360,000 direct and indirect administration servers, saving 1.5 percent of GDP at the time. He withdrew a month later after realizing he wouldn’t be able to achieve the goal.

Amid the crises faced during his tenure, Collor signed a decree imposing pay cuts on civil servants, which generated protests and weakened his image. He too would recoil at such a measure. The first defeat in Congress came with the repeal of the interim measure that gave the Superior Labor Court (TST) power to suspend salary increases. OR Higher Federal Court (STF)in turn, declared the reissue of the provision unconstitutional.

Fernando Henrique Cardoso

FHC has gained popularity after the good performance of Real plan, which stabilized inflation and improved the purchasing power of the population. However, the new president was challenged by the company when he approved the law on public concessions and decreed the end of the state monopoly in the distribution of energy and basic sanitation. In the early days of the first legislature, the government vetoed the increase in the minimum wage approved by the House and decided to postpone the pension reform due to lack of popular support.

Already in the second legislature, the new cycle begins with the government containing inflation, but there is the threat of a “tariff” to maintain the situation. Light and fuel are affected by the increase in prices and the governors are dissatisfied with the privatizations. The tax reform introduced during the previous government risked not being approved by Congress.

Dilma Rousseff

Dilma Rousseff’s coming to power in 2011 caused unease in political groups. The first female president was more technical and less political, having to strengthen dialogue with ministers and parliamentarians due to the distribution of offices in the first weeks of government. Dilma arrives at the helm of the country with the same banner of the fight against hunger, as well as fighting for the approval of a minimum wage of R$ 545. Unit.

In his second mandate, in 2015, the first days were more difficult than the previous period. With a strained relationship with Congress, led by a PMDB that is no longer so close, Dilma has begun to suffer defeats in parliament. The impeachment request opened in the Chamber and the demonstrations against his government throughout the country led to his dismissal, which took place due to the so-called tax pedal that his government committed.

Michael Temer

With Dilma removed, Temer temporarily took over the presidency in May 2016, taking office three months later. The new government’s economic team raised its primary deficit forecast to R$170 billion, R$74 billion higher than the Dilma government’s estimate. Also in the economic sphere, a proposal was presented for an expenditure ceiling, as well as a readjustment for public employees and a bailout agreement for indebted states, with an estimated expenditure of R$ 50 billion. Pension reform was, once again, on the Brazilian government’s agenda and was cited as one of the government’s main proposals. MDB president Romero Jucá, chosen for the post of Minister of Planning, resigned 11 days after taking office, becoming the fastest fall by a minister.

Jair Bolsonaro

The former president’s first 100 days were marked by a package of measures that included promises made during the election campaign. Under the slogan “100 days – 100% for Brazil”, the president signed decrees with changes in areas such as the national drug policy, the national literacy policy and the national tourism policy.

Among the topics of the first days, the fight against corruption, the changes in environmental legislation and the autonomy of the central bank stood out – today widely questioned by President Lula. There was also the resignation of the Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic, Gustavo Bebanno. Another milestone of the government’s inception was the decline in land invasions across the country, registering only 1 occupation in the first quarter of 2019. Bolsonaro had his speech centered around the criminalization of the movements.
