"I'm going to guarantee Bolsa Família for those who need it, but I'm going to do much more. I'm going to make sure that the State comes to you with training, with qualifications. I'm going to do the biggest social mobility program that Brazil has ever seen. I'm going to improve Farmácia Popular. The medicine will arrive at your door, it'll arrive inside your home. We'll give it to you, in the palm of your hand, which is a cell phone. You're not just going to receive the medicine, you're going to receive an SMS letting you know when you have to take your medicine. Don’t forget. This is how we will treat people who need Farmácia Popular”.

She also defended the adoption of policies for women:

"We are going to pay special attention to women entrepreneurs. We are going to provide them with knowledge so that they can open their own companies, they can formalize their business. We are going to reduce taxes, we are going to provide cheap financing, we are going to bring prosperity to Brazil. An economy that will be based on productivity."

Augusto Cury, from Avante, made official, this Thursday (8), his support for Flávio Bolsonaro. He traveled to Portugal and said, this Friday (9), that the PL candidate was committed to fiscal adjustment:

"The Brazil that we defend, a Brazil where we have to pacify the nation, where there are not two families, there is only one family called the Brazilian family. I asked if Flávio could sign a commitment to defend with all his strength, respecting, obviously, Brazilian laws, fiscal responsibility and all procedures, including legal ones, for this to happen."
