Ronaldo Caiado outlines key presidential campaign proposals
Ronaldo Caiado, the PSD presidential candidate, has outlined several key policy proposals and political stances during his campaign. On labor issues, he expressed support for transitioning from a 6x1 work schedule to a 5x2 model, though he criticized the current legislative approach as being driven by electoral interests rather than thorough consultation with employers.
In terms of economic policy, Caiado proposed extending the import tax exemption for international purchases under $50 to domestic Brazilian retailers to ensure fair competition. He also advocated for the privatization of waterways to attract necessary capital for the sector and criticized high interest rates, calling for more austere fiscal policies.
Regarding public security, Caiado proposed creating a Ministry of Public Security and increasing the autonomy of states to legislate on crimes specific to their territories. He also suggested classifying criminal factions as domestic terrorist organizations. Additionally, he expressed opposition to any United States intervention in Brazil to combat drug trafficking.
Politically, Caiado has been critical of both President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, raising questions regarding transparency and moral authority in the face of various corruption allegations. He also proposed strict regulations and a ban on mass media advertising for online betting platforms.
