Former Minister of Civil Housing José Dirceu said this in an interview with Free channelof TV Bandeirantes, said this Sunday, 7, that the debate on the public deficit, public debt and the fiscal framework “is secondary if Brazil focuses on growth.”
“The country must return to planning, focusing on growth, an ecological transition plan, Nova Indústria Brasil and PAC. The issue of the deficit, the debt, the framework is secondary if Brazil focuses on growth,” said the former minister.
Dirceu argued that the federal government today, unlike the administrations from 2003 to 2010, does not have sufficient resources to make public investments.
“At the time there was room in the budget to carry out the policies he was doing and the public banks were capitalized. This was a strength we had in the past. Otherwise, how will the country grow?”, he said.
“Who will invest in infrastructure, science, technology and education? We have not been able to finish a football stadium, the VLT. China has built 40 thousand km of high-speed trains in recent years. Brazilians must be aware of Brazil’s potential,” he added.
The former minister argued that the Brazilian government should discuss a trade agreement with China to expand investment in the country, especially in the technology and infrastructure sectors.
Asked about the performance of the left in Latin America, Dirceu said the record of the last 30 years “is fantastic.”
“The left in Latin America, if you look back over the last 30 years, is fantastic. We governed the main countries, we lost, we came back. In Chile, Ecuador and Brazil there was already alternation. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the military dictatorships, it was something new for the left,” he said.
