Bolsonaro promises to create 6 million jobs and Brazil Aid of R$ 800 to those who work

President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) promised in the free electoral program on Tuesday (8) that he will give a bonus of R$200 to beneficiaries who earn R$600 of Auxílio Brasil.

In addition, the Chief Executive also stated that he will create six million jobs if he is re-elected in this year’s elections.

“If, in the midst of a pandemic, Brazil generated four million new jobs, write it down: with Bolsonaro in the next government, there are six million more jobs arriving in Brazil”, says the narrator of the piece, who does not give details of how the jobs will be created. job.

The electoral program also attacks former president Lula (PT) and says that the president will encourage Auxílio Brasil beneficiaries to work, unlike what PT did.

“The more than 20 million Brazilians who receive Auxílio Brasil of at least R$600 will now receive another R$200 if they start working. benefit.

“When Bolsonaro gives the R$200 more, he encourages work. This is the opposite of what the PT did, because to receive the old Bolsa Família, people could not work”, he adds.

Then comes the report of a woman about how the benefit worked in past governments. “Many people stopped getting a job precisely to avoid losing the Bolsa Família”, says she, who is not identified in the video.

The program also does not explain how it will finance the R$ 200 more for the beneficiaries. The 2023 LDO (Budget Guidelines Law) sent by the president to Congress does not even provide for Auxílio Brasil at R$ 600.

The president has already said that he will sell state-owned companies to pay for the maintenance of the benefit at the same level as today. On another occasion, he said that another possibility would be to extend the state of emergency in the country, which makes compliance with the spending ceiling more flexible.

Taxation of profits and dividends has also been mentioned by the representative as another possibility to fund the benefit.
