The vice-president, Michel Temer (PMDB) said on Monday that the government is doing everything possible to address the political and economic crises and stressed the importance of the rulers admit their mistakes. "The best thing when it errs is to confess the error. After all, people are very aware and notice when the government is wrong," Temer said, a week after President Dilma Rousseff has acknowledged that it took to realize the gravity of the situation of the economy Brazilian.
Fear participated Exam Forum 2015, held in Sao Paulo by the magazine EXAMINATION, Editora Abril, which also publishes SEE. The Vice President, who heads the PMDB and left the government policy articulation Dilma recently made a number of criticisms of the legislature and called for "harmony and peace" between the powers. "You have to have a more solid political base and now she is very unstable. Without it, we would not be in this situation," he said. "We have to work together, we can not hide the difficulties, but enhance them to have unity and social peace."
The PMDB also appealed for national alliance between the three powers and society, beyond political parties. "For a government to achieve stability need support from Congress - what I call governance - and society - what I call the governance Like today, there is neither, it can be said that the political crisis exists, and is serious. as well as economic, "he said.
The vice president said it is "very difficult to govern a country with 32 parties." In reference to the dictatorial period, Temer alluded to political parties "real" that existed at the time, Arena [ruling] and MDB [opposition], not "partisan acronyms" as occurs today.
Finance - He also said that government's decision to present a budget proposal for 2016 with forecast of a hole in the public accounts worries, but that was made to ensure transparency. "When there is news of a Budget with [forecast] deficit is extremely worrying. Why? To register the absolute transparency of budget issues. To show that there is no make-up in the accounts," Temer said, after the Court of Minister Audit (TCU) Augusto Nardes, rapporteur of Dilma accounts, charge an effective control over spending and revenues and criticizing the tax pedaling.
Temer explained that one of the reasons for the deficit forecast for next year was the decline in government in recreating the CPMF, the "check tax". He said he has warned the Plateau leaders about the possibility of defeat in Congress if there was insistence on the idea. "We can not afford to at this time of suffering defeats in Congress," he said. Fearing for some alternatives to the country's crisis exit must be negotiated "bottom-up" rather than "top-down". "Many voices were raised against and myself did weightings to the president saying it can not be done that way," he stressed the vice president.
Temer said that a possible deficit in the public accounts is not useful for the country and he considered, including a possible downgrade of the country's investment grade. He said he spoke with representatives of investment funds in New York, and they said they continue to invest in Brazil, but asked for "greater legal and economic security."
The vice president rejected the idea of an institutional crisis in the country, since all powers operate independently. Fear justified his statement on the severity of the crisis in the conduct of economics and politics in the country. He said President Dilma Rousseff met with governors and leaders of Congress before, in the expectation that the relationship with the legislative better, which did not occur."However, not improved, so I decided to go public," he argued.
One of the factors contributing to the wear Temer in government policy coordination - function that left last week - was a statement that "someone would need to reunify the country in the face of political and economic crises." The statement by the vice president was interpreted by PT as the password that he himself would be performing to assume the function. From there, Dilma began to personally take some vice assignments. "My role will continue to assist the country. It is the role of all of us. I will continue this work," he said.
