"We want to prepare Santa Catarina for the next 30 years", stated Jorginho Mello (PL) in the first interview after being re-elected governor of Santa Catarina in the first round, this Sunday (4), with 68.98% of the valid votes.

When evaluating the results of the polls, Jorginho said that the victory was the result of a set of factors, but highlighted the work carried out during the first term.

The governor reiterated that he ran a purposeful campaign, without attacks, and that he sought to show the actions carried out by the administration.

"I understand it as a mix of all this, but, above all, a lot of work. We created a government that passed through Santa Catarina, nothing was left behind, and we tried to be a purposeful campaign. We didn't attack anyone, we went to fight, showing", he declared.

When talking about plans for the second term, he said he intends to continue actions started in the first term and highlighted infrastructure works, as well as investments in health and education.

In health, he cited the performance of 1.6 million surgeries and said that a line that, according to him, had been stopped for 15 years, started moving again.

"Of course there is still a queue, because now the queue is moving and we want to reduce the waiting time", he declared.

In education, he stated that the majority of schools had been renovated and cited the installation of air conditioning in 14 thousand classrooms.

Works and infrastructure

Among the priorities for the second term, he highlighted Via Mar, a road that, according to him, will connect Biguaçu to Joinville.

"It's a new road after 50 years that connects Biguaçu to Joinville, with 145 km. We are spending 2 billion on a 25-kilometer stretch," he stated.

The governor also mentioned works on BR-282 and BR-280 and the completion of BR-470. "We have important works so that Santa Catarina continues to grow," he said.

Jorginho added that he intends to prepare the state for the effects of tax reform. "We will prepare ourselves through the Treasury Department to face the tax reform starting next year so that we can compete," he declared.
