President Jair Bolsonaro said this Thursday (21) that he is not responsible for job creation in Brazil, but the private sector, and that young people need to run after jobs. The statement was given to people who were present in the playpen, in front of Palácio da Alvorada.
According to Bolsonaro, during the years when the country was ruled by the PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores), education went from “bad to worse” and that the youth would have been indoctrinated to blame the federal government for the lack of jobs.
“What matters to young people to be indoctrinated, to be an open mouth there… ‘It’s the government’s fault, where’s my job?’. [Eles] have to run back. I don’t create jobs, it’s the private initiative that creates it, I don’t get in the way of the entrepreneur,” he said.
For the president, the government’s job is to allow entrepreneurs to develop their business, such as through the creation of laws. To those present in the playpen, he cites the Economic Freedom Law, which was approved by the Chamber of Deputies in August 2019 and sanctioned by Bolsonaro in September of the same year.
Also known as the “mini-labor reform”, as it incorporated a series of changes related to labor law, the law was intended to reduce bureaucracy for entrepreneurs. At the time, the Sheet explained in a step-by-step way the changes concerning the life of the company and the worker.
