Rafael Gloves stated that, in 2022, the Brazilian economy was growing, inflation was under control, the government had a surplus, investments were increasing, and violence was decreasing. According to him, in this scenario, a power shift in favor of Lula was seen as acceptable, also due to the media's narrative that Lula would be different and that the then-president was unsuitable for the position. Regarding 2026, Gloves said that the economic indicators had reversed, inflation was eroding the population's income, government debt and violence had increased, and investments were focused on those seeking high interest rates. He asserted that the country was close to a precipice and that, for this reason, the two years could not be compared. Gloves predicted that Flávio would receive votes even from people who did not like him, out of desperation. He said this gave him confidence that a Flávio government would save Brazil and would have no commitment to please anyone or to pay the Centrão, which, according to him, did not support him. #Economia #Política #Brasil (translated)
