That's what Jair Bolsonaro promises in Brazil

Sao Paulo .- President-elect of Brazil, right-wing member Jair Bolsonaro, mentioned some of his promises for his administration, including: reform the government's finances and reorientate diplomatic relations.

Bolsonaro said some of these promises in his first public comment this Sunday after winning a biased count against leftist Fernando Haddad.

"What happened at the polls today was not the victory of a party, but the celebration of a country for freedom."

"Freedom is a fundamental principle: freedom to move freely in the streets of the whole country, political and religious freedom, freedom to inform and to have opinions."

"As a defender of freedom, I will guide a government that defends and protects the rights of citizens who fulfill their duties and respect their citizens," said Brazil's president-elect.

Promises of Jair Bolsonaro, the new President of Brazil:

FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION

After the biggest corruption scandal in the history of Brazil has splashed the political class over the past four years, helping to ensure the election of Bolsonaro, the retired army captain undertook to attack the corrupt practices of public life.

He said he would encourage new investigations into corruption and put an end to the standoff between the government and political parties, a major source of secret agreements and favoritism.

Bolsonaro is committed to reducing the number of departments in Brasilia from 29 to 15 and to appoint several retired generals in his cabinet.

PRIVATIZATION

Bolsonaro is committed to privatize a series of companies present in the state, including units of the oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) and the electricity company Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA (Eletrobras) .

However, the extent to which the state controls its main activities remains a matter of debate between its chief economic advisor, Paulo Guedes (pro-privatization), and retired generals who supported his candidacy for the presidency.

REFORM OF PENSIONS

Bolsonaro said he would reform Brazil's costly retirement system in order to reduce Brazil's unsustainable budget deficit, an important symbolic promise for many investors.

However, Bolsonaro did not specify the details of his plan, except that it differed from the outgoing government's proposal. He also proposed a revision of the tax system, which includes a fixed income tax and a reduction in the wage bill.

HAND HAND AGAINST CRIME

The campaign promised to cope with the increase in crime and violence in Brazilian cities, thus giving the police more autonomy to open fire on suspected criminals.

In a country that has more than 60,000 shots a year, Bolsonaro wants to change the laws of Brazil to facilitate the wearing of arms by Brazilians.

It also aims to involve the federal government more actively in public security, which state governments have always been responsible for. He said he wants to use the army to conduct routine patrols in the streets of the city, which some senior officers regard with suspicion.

CHANGE OF EXTERNAL POLICY

China has become Brazil's largest trading partner in recent years, with bilateral trade of $ 75 billion last year, but Bolsonaro has described Beijing as a predator seeking to dominate key economic zones.

Bolsonaro is pleased that China buys raw materials such as soybeans from Brazil. But the 63-year-old elected president has pledged to end recent acquisitions of the Asian nation in South America's energy and infrastructure sectors.

He also pledged to reformulate the foreign policy of Brazil, which has moved away from the United States during the nearly 13 years of government of the left-wing labor party. As an open admirer of US President Donald Trump, Bolsonaro said his goal was to improve relations with Washington.

Following Trump's nationalist agenda, he is committed to reducing Brazil's commitment to regional blocs such as Mercosur and to seeking bilateral relations. He also said that he would move the Brazilian embassy to Israel to Jerusalem and close a Palestinian embassy in Brasilia.

PRIORITY OF AGRICULTURE AND MINES

Close ally of the powerful Brazilian agricultural lobby, Bolsonaro is committed to ending agricultural land invasions by indigenous tribes and landless peasant movements. He also wants to end the delimitation of additional native reserves while allowing mining and other commercial activities on native lands.

However, in recent days, Bolsonaro has withdrawn its initial commitment to remove Brazil from the Paris agreement on climate change.

He also canceled the consolidation projects of the Ministries of Agriculture and the Environment, which he had originally proposed to ease the pressure on farmers from Brazil's booming agricultural frontier. Environmentalists fear that such a decision will lead to more flexible environmental regulation.

The elected president of Brazil also said that he had already 3 cabinet names and will name the rest with caution
.

Bolsonaro beat his left-wing rival Fernando Haddad with 55% vs. 45% after a highly controversial campaign in which former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was arrested, Bolsonaro was stabbed and isolated cases of violence are occurred.
