Haddad was not born yesterday, but he forgot to consult the calendar when proposing zero deficit in 2024.

Next year will not just be an election year; It will be the first plebiscite of the new government.

Once again, Lula and Bolsonaro will be face to face.

It will be a kind of third round.

Whoever makes the most mayors will be the winner of 2024, which will be the prelude to 2026.

CONTINUES AFTER RECOMMENDATIONS

Lula, therefore, cannot lose. If he loses, he will be seen as a weak president. “He can’t even elect more mayors than Bolsonaro”, his detractors may say, whose statements will brighten the hundreds of thousands of pages of stubborn Bolsonaro supporters.

In an election year, especially elections that determine the government’s future, zero deficit is a bad word.

Not only does the government need to inaugurate a huge collection of works, from Oiapoque to Chuí, but it cannot close its eyes to the demands of its allies, which also range from Oiapoque to Chuí. At these times, allies appear from everywhere.

It is obvious that the main enemy of the zero deficit was the head of the Civil House, who was tasked by Lula with making the trillion-dollar PAC viable.

He played the role of the bad man, the villain, always with a frown when he met the good guy with zero deficit. He must be thinking: “He wants to overthrow me, if I don’t fulfill the task assigned by the president, the president will put someone else in his place.”

Until Lula entered the field to mediate the conflict. He declared a ceasefire. And he raised the hand of the head of the Civil House. Haddad lost on points.

It is better to lose the austerity speech than to lose to Bolsonaro.
