Minister of Finance talks about adjusting public accounts without 'doing anything crazy' or 'doing crazy things'; Flávio has promised 'treasure'

The Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, stated this Friday (23) that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's project envisages an adjustment of public accounts without "giving a break" or "doing crazy things" to the economy.

The objective would be to try to contain the rise in public debt to lower the interest rate and, with this, promote an improvement in the economy — which is registering a slowdown.

During an interview with Uol, speaking as a representative of Lula's campaign, Durigan stated that he considers it impossible to adjust the accounts of R$200 billion in one year.

"We have to improve the fiscal system, but without going backwards. It's not possible to make R$200 billion as they are saying. If they said they would stop readjustments, cut programs, it would be quite difficult, but there would be more clarity about their proposal", said the Minister of Finance.

The campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro, who is competing with Lula in the second round of this year's elections, scheduled for next Sunday (25), has promised a faster adjustment in public accounts, characterized as a "treasury" in spending.

According to Uol, Daniella Marques, coordinator of the opposition campaign, was also called for the interview, but claimed scheduling problems.

"Brazil that doesn't go back, so that this is permanent Treasure in public spending: fiscal balance, state reform, fight against corruption and lower taxes. The guarantee that everything promised has backing", says Flávio Bolsonaro's government program.
