About: grant tax benefits and sectoral subsidies to large companies

Kim Kataguiri: We are repeating the same formula. Studies have shown that the industrial policy during Lula 1, Lula 2, Dilma 1, Dilma 2 and now — studies on the new PAC are about to be released — all these incentives that were given became profit in the pocket of the businessman who received that incentive.

Kim Kataguiri: It did not increase productivity, did not strengthen the national industry, did not create jobs, did not increase GDP.

Zero, zero. Everything that has been a policy identical to this in the last 20 years in our country turned into profit in the hands of businessmen with influence here in Congress and at the Planalto — corrupt businessmen who form cartels, who form oligopolies; oligopolies and cartels that will become even easier with this law.
