Kim Kataguiri: For more than 80 years this, quote-unquote, fight against regional inequalities...?
Kim Kataguiri: The poor states remained poor, continued with terrible indicators, and we created a perverse incentive that the worse the administrator is, the more resources he receives.
I would add one last point: to completely prevent in the State of São Paulo what happened in Rio de Janeiro, namely territorial domination.
Kim Kataguiri: If I had been governor of the State at the time of Operação Verão and Operação Escudo, I would not have ended those operations as early as Governor Tassígio did; in my view he backed down for fear of taking hits from the press, for fear of being attacked by left-wing parties.
Kim Kataguiri: I would not have had that fear.
