DAVOS – In Davos for the World Economic Forum the governor of São Paulo, João Doria, defended the progressive adoption of increase in the contribution of civil servants to social security was previously proposed by former President Michel Temer and should be included in the reform of Jair Bolsonaro.
According to him, the increase is necessary but should be adopted with gradualism so as not to "hinder" the financial planning of servers. The latest increase proposed by Temer would be 11% to 14% at a time, but the initiative was blocked by Federal Supreme Court Minister Ricardo Lewandowski.
Governors, including Doria, want to increase the contribution from 11% to 14%. According to him, 22 of the 27 governors will articulate the caucuses to approve the reform as long as the rules include officials, such as teachers and military police, categories that weigh more heavily on the state wage bill.
For Doria, the mobilization of governors on the new political scene, after the elections, is decisive. "Many leaders have lost the elections and with that, there is no longer this college of leaders at the end of the last term, which for the leaders, could already give a voice of command to their deputies," he said. he declared.
Doria said that the greatest concern of investors in Davos with Brazil is economic : "The reform of social security and the maintenance of the liberal project of Paulo Guedes In this universe of Davos, Paulo is an agent from Brazil. "
He is in Davos to present the São Paulo privatization and investment plan for the benefit of international investors. He met Guedes, who lives in the same hotel.
Have you met Guedes and talked about reform?
The conversation with Paulo Guedes was very much about social security reform . He and I understand that reform is of utmost importance for the country: if we reform it, it quickly and concretely changes the country and opens the way for international investment. Here in Davos, we expect a set of reforms, in particular to social security.
But investors worry that Congress does not approve.
Congress will provide support. I'm confident.
Based on this optimism?
I spoke to the governors. The vast majority support reform. And the expressive majority has a bench. This mobilization of governors will be decisive for the favorable vote. Many leaders (19459007) (19459007) lost the election and therefore no longer have this leadership college at the end of the last term, which could already give command to the commanders as a leader. In a difficult election, the strongest link is now with the benches that support the governors, their parties and their affiliates.
Governors want to increase the contribution of civil servants from 11% to 14%. Are you in favor?
I am for. Gradually I am in favor.
How would it be?
Make this contribution can be established within a certain time. Do it gradually, without harming, without harming the financial planning and the conditions of the servers. This is necessary. Even to preserve the conditions of the servers receive their salary on time. And have your benefits paid for.
Which group of governors will mobilize for reform?
I would say that 22 of the 27 governors will mobilize their seats.
Minister Paulo Guedes told Mr that he wished the reform to be approved until April. The deadline is the first round in the House?
This is the vote of the first round. This is possible in the first four months.
What is the main concern of investors in Davos with Brazil?
This is an economic order. The reform of the social security and the maintenance of the liberal project of Paulo Guedes . In this world of Davos, Paulo is the guarantor of Brazil.
Why
The community of producers and investors wants a liberal economy. It wants a correct legal framework, predictability and stability from an economic point of view. And Paulo Guedes offers that. He talks about what investors have as a guide for the release of investments, especially those who will bet on privatization and major investments in infrastructure.
What we are seeing is a government of half a dozen years on the reform strategy. This is not a problem?
The good sense and the position of Paulo Guedes will prevail. I see the president of Paulo Guedes showing great solidarity. The basic theme of the February 26 governors' meeting is welfare reform. The Secretary (Special Social Security and Labor) Rogério Marinho will present the proposal to the governors.
Do you think that a better picture of São Paulo's finances has been sold?
I can not say that. I asked the secretary (Henrique) Meirelles to finalize this badysis of state finances until the beginning of March in order to commit no injustice or delusion. Neither the illusion that everything is right, nor the injustice of bringing a charge. Let's wait at the beginning of March.
