About: adhere to Propag to restructure the state debt

Romeu Zema: But Minas' debt really is a big problem, and the high interest rates in Brazil make that debt even worse.

Romeu Zema: Having a big debt... It's bad to have a debt with high adjustment rates, as happened for most of the time, turning it into an almost unpayable snowball.

But with adherence to Propag, Paulo, I'm not going to say we'll have paradise, no, but we'll be in a much better position, because Propag foresees an adjustment of the debt practically by inflation plus 1% per year.

Romeu Zema: In the past, when I took office, the adjustment was inflation plus 4%.

Romeu Zema: The Brazilian economy and Minas' state revenue don't grow 4% per year.
