Marcos Rogério was elected governor of Rondônia in the first round with 56.86% of the votes. The TCE-RO pointed out that 90% of state resources are committed to current expenses.
Among the measures announced is the intention to make warning equipment available to women who have protective measures. The proposal is to allow victims to also be notified when the aggressor fails to comply with the established safety distance.
"For those who broke the safety limit, have an ankle bracelet, broke this limit, the police are alerted, but the victim has no alert. So we are going to adopt, what some states are already doing: leaving equipment with the victim too, with the woman, so that this alert reaches there and she can protect herself in the event of breaking a safe distance", proposed the candidate.
The governor-elect also stated that public safety will be one of the administration's priorities. Among the proposals, he cited the reinforcement of policing in schools, businesses, neighborhoods, condominiums and rural areas, in addition to combating criminal factions.
Marcos Rogério was elected last Sunday (4), in the first round, with 56.86% of valid votes. He will take over the government of Rondônia in January 2027, for a four-year term.
During the electoral campaign, the Rondônia State Court of Auditors (TCE-RO) presented government candidates with a diagnosis of the state's public accounts, prepared based on management data. The document pointed out that more than 90% of state resources, equivalent to R$15.05 billion, were committed to current expenses, such as paying staff and funding the public structure. Only 8% was allocated to investments.
"What we're going to see is review the size of the state. And then I'll start by saying: there will be a need to downsize, organize the house. It's not possible for you to continue with the state from a payroll point of view."
"You have a universe of appointments that is extremely disproportionate to the reality of the state and situations that when you assess it from the point of view of delivery, operation, results, there is no. So, there is a secretariat where you don't have space to place all the nominees in that portfolio. We are evaluating now to establish throughout this transition where we can reduce, where we can cut so that we can stimulate the operation", he replied.
After the election, Marcos Rogério and his team begin the government transition process, a period in which the current and future administrations share information, reports and data necessary to prepare the administrative change and guarantee the continuity of public services.
The governor-elect stated that the transition will begin next week. According to him, victory in the first round will allow more time to analyze the government structure and prepare the start of the new administration.
“It provides a better condition for us to look in more depth and have the possibility, suddenly, depending on the opening that the current government will give, to compose some situations to facilitate the start of the next government.”
Asked about the composition of the secretariat, Marcos Rogério defended the formation of a team with a predominantly technical profile. According to him, government members must have professional training and dialogue skills to ensure the functioning of public services.
"Government is not an environment where you can just give a job to a friend. There you can even have a friend, as long as he has technical preparation, as long as he has the capacity to make it work, make it move and serve people. People from Rondônia have been suffering for a long time with the government that has difficulty, which is paralyzed in many sectors precisely because of the lack of technical capacity", he stated.
As governor of Rondônia, Marcos Rogério will have to coordinate with state deputies the processing of bills, approval of the budget and other issues of interest to the Executive. In the next legislature, the PL, the elected governor's party, will have seven representatives in the Legislative Assembly, in addition to parliamentarians from other parties who supported his candidacy.
"So, I'm going to work alongside the Legislative Assembly, I'm going to call on the support of the entire federal bench, open the government for the federal bench to contribute its resources, its investments here. We elected two senators from the PL, we had three federal deputies from the PL, two from Podemos, but we're going to open the government for the entire bench to work together."
Asked about the relationship with opposition parliamentarians and ideological differences, the elected governor stated that he intends to maintain dialogue and seek cooperation on issues of interest to Rondônia.
"Without vanity, I will dialogue with the opposition, without vanity, without preciousness. Sometimes there is a different ideological aspect, but if you want to help, want to cooperate, want to make things happen, the government will be available for us to serve Rondônia. I have my positions, but whoever wants to work to make the state function better, to deliver, the government will be available."
