Flávio Bolsonaro outlines economic plan and social pledges
During a televised interview with TV Globo, presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro outlined his economic and social platform. He pledged to maintain the current policy of increasing the minimum wage above inflation, preserve mandatory spending floors for health and education, and keep the link between retirement benefits and the minimum wage.
To achieve fiscal adjustment, Bolsonaro proposed a plan that could reduce public spending by approximately R$ 190 billion, representing about 1.5% of GDP. His strategy includes reducing the number of federal ministries by at least ten, privatizing state-owned enterprises, selling federal real estate, and securitizing public debts. He also suggested exploring the Equatorial Margin to increase revenue.
On labor issues, Bolsonaro recently changed his stance to support the end of the 6x1 work schedule after meeting with workers, though he previously advocated for a flexible model based on hourly pay. This shift caused internal friction within his campaign. Additionally, the TSE has intervened in the election cycle, prohibiting Meta from restricting the reach of political posts from second-round candidates and banning the use of AI to favor specific candidates.
