In addition, it has put the focus on the hunger problem facing the country. “Our most urgent commitment is to end hunger again.

In economic matters, he has referred to the financial market stating that the country must recover its “credibility, predictability and stability” so that national and foreign investors regain their confidence in it. In addition, he has pointed out that Brazil cannot limit itself to exporting raw materials and has promised to reindustrialize the country and invest in the green economy.
