Nikolas Ferreira: Mr. President, that line that people are in this situation because of a lack of welfare programs is such a lie!
Nikolas Ferreira: In fact, if you could, you would put the whole of Brazil on welfare programs, because that generates votes.

Nikolas Ferreira: I came from the favela! What you can't do is this: 'Stay where you are so that next year you vote for me.'
Nikolas Ferreira: And what happens? In a little while, it's obvious — and you think I'm a sucker — they'll put out there: 'So-and-so votes against the electricity.'
