Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence Refuses to participate in supporting the constitutional amendment that promises 5 por 2.
Kim Kataguiri
125:40

Why it was classified this way · 95% confidence Declares explicit support ('Óbvio') for the worker having more time.
Kim Kataguiri
126:08
About: reduce the workweek to 5 days via a constitutional amendment
No one is against that, obviously. Now, I will not lie to the worker by saying that because it is written in the Constitution the schedule will be 5-by-2, and that, in practical terms, this will happen.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence Denies that writing it into the Constitution guarantees practical implementation of the 5 por 2.

And the majority of you who will vote for this PEC and will approve this PEC — and I will be defeated — know this.
Why it was classified this way · 65% confidence Foresees that the majority will approve the PEC; describes an expectation of defeat.
Kim Kataguiri
126:32
About: end the 6-by-1 schedule
Actually, the best scenario for me would be not to have a transition at all; it would be to start now.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence Advocates an immediate start as the best scenario (wants reduction now).
Kim Kataguiri
126:38
About: reduce the workweek to 5 days via a constitutional amendment
The sooner it starts, the sooner people will know that it is a sham, that their lives have not changed, have not improved, and that they will not work less.

Kim Kataguiri
126:50
About: reduce taxes with measures to offset revenue loss
Cut spending, cut taxes. You, worker, until tomorrow, May 28, all the working days you worked were to pay taxes.
Why it was classified this way · 95% confidence Explicitly orders 'Cortem impostos' as a solution for workers to earn more.
Kim Kataguiri
127:01

Kim Kataguiri
127:11
About: reduce taxes with measures to offset revenue loss
For 3 days a week, you don't work for yourself, you don't work for your employer, you work for the Government.
Why it was classified this way · 60% confidence Describes that part of the work is turned into payments to the government.
Kim Kataguiri
127:18
About: improve the country's economic productivity
The Government wants to invert the game to hide its own incompetence, the failure that our productivity increased 18% while in other emerging countries it rose 130% over the past 20 years, to put the bill on the employer, as if he were the villain who wants you to work six days a week.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence cites comparative productivity statistics to criticize the government.
Kim Kataguiri
127:43
About: reduce privileges and excessive public spending
They present this constitutional amendment proposal when the real discussion is: when will we stop working 3 days a week just to pay the Government's bill, just to pay judges' and prosecutors' supersalaries, just to pay Deputies' privileges.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence asserts cutting privileges is a condition for tax reduction.

Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence states he proposed cuts to the public elite (explicit political action).
Kim Kataguiri
128:10

When it's time to cut into their own flesh to bring benefits to the worker, no Deputy supports it, very few support it.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence criticizes the lack of support from deputies for proposals to cut privileges.
Kim Kataguiri
128:18
About: approve populist proposals to gain votes
Now, when it comes to populism and demagoguery, we'll have 450 votes on the panel.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence foresees broad voting on a measure he classifies as populist.
Kim Kataguiri
206:08
About: grant tax incentives and local content policies for industry
Mr. President, Party Mission directs "no", first because this is a very poorly designed public policy to grant a tax privilege that won't have any analysis for national benefit.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence declares a 'não' stance because it is a poorly designed tax benefit.
Kim Kataguiri
206:19
About: grant temporary tax privileges without evaluation
Moreover, all the tax privileges that are said to be temporary, in the end become permanent without any review to see if they worked well, if they in fact brought sovereignty, if they in fact brought national fertilizer production to a competitive level.
Why it was classified this way · 87% confidence criticizes that so-called temporary privileges become permanent.
Kim Kataguiri
206:33
About: require local content in fertilizer production as a condition for tax benefits
Another point is the local content policy aspect that this fertilizer production is bringing in the rapporteur's latest text, which was changed at the last minute, bringing this aspect as well, to which we are absolutely opposed.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence opposes adding local content to the rapporteur's text.
Kim Kataguiri
206:45
About: grant tax incentives and local content policies for industry
So it seems to me a sectoral benefit without republican concern for the Country; it seems to me a sectoral benefit that will have no analysis regarding its efficiency, its effectiveness or whether its purpose was achieved.
Why it was classified this way · 86% confidence says it's a sectoral benefit without analysis of efficiency or effectiveness.
Kim Kataguiri
206:56
About: grant tax waivers on the order of R$ 800 billion
And it seems once again a benefit that we create now to be temporary, but that will always be extended, prolonged over the years, until it never ends. PARTY MISSION directs "no".
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence claims temporary benefits will be extended indefinitely.
Kim Kataguiri
219:41
About: create rigid budget earmarking by law to finance specific policies
Mr. President, Party Mission directs "no". We already have a budget that is 92% mandatory spending, and here another mandatory expense is being created, not by the Constitution, but by infraconstitutional legislation.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence opposes creating more mandatory expenditures by law.
Kim Kataguiri
219:56
About: increase the Executive's decision-making power over the budget
The Executive needs to have Executive power. It's only in Brazil that we live this budgetary schizophrenia, in which the Executive Branch decides less than half of where the budget goes.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence argues the Executive should decide more on budget allocation.
Kim Kataguiri
220:08
About: create rigid budget earmarking by law to finance specific policies
And are we going to lock in even more spending?
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence questions creating more mandatory expenditures; criticizes the measure.
Kim Kataguiri
220:12
About: establish ongoing mandatory spending by law
Even if there is an agreement with the Government to limit the amount to be sent in the PLOA, we are still positivizing, we are putting into law that we will have an ongoing, mandatory expense. Hence our opposing position, Mr. President.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence says the law would enshrine a continuing expense, justifying opposition.
Kim Kataguiri
242:13

Mr. President, once again I say what I said earlier: I will not deceive the worker, as most of this Plenary unfortunately will do.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence reiterates refusal to deceive workers about the effectiveness of the constitutional amendment.

Kim Kataguiri
242:29
About: reduce the workweek to 5 days via a constitutional amendment

Why it was classified this way · 92% confidence explicitly states that a constitutional change will not eliminate the 6-for-1 schedule.

Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence calls the measure 'fácil e populista' and says it doesn't apply in practice.
Kim Kataguiri
243:16
About: reduce privileges and excessive public spending
The solution is much harder, much tougher, and involves confrontations that this Parliament does not have the courage to undertake.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence states the solution requires confrontations and spending cuts, not easy measures.
Kim Kataguiri
243:24
About: reduce taxes with measures to offset revenue loss
Today the worker works 3 days a week just to pay taxes.
Why it was classified this way · 60% confidence repeats the argument that the worker works part of the week to pay taxes.
Kim Kataguiri
243:31
About: increase investment in infrastructure, skills training, and science and technology
This is a discussion the Parliament does not have. If there were that material change in our economy, the worker would work less while receiving more, not the same.
Why it was classified this way · 82% confidence says material change in the economy would require redirecting resources.
Kim Kataguiri
243:43
About: reduce government spending
But to cut taxes it is necessary to cut spending, and Deputies do not want to have that discussion.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence argues that cutting spending is a precondition to reducing taxes; blames deputies.
Kim Kataguiri
243:47
About: eliminate tax privileges for large companies
Deputies do not have the courage to face the 200 billion reais in tax privileges that go to large businessmen who have influence, who pay many people's campaigns that get them into this Parliament, who get them into the Planalto (Presidential Palace).
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence points to R$200 billion in privileges and criticizes the lack of courage to confront them.

They don't have the courage to face that difficult debate.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence claims deputies lack the courage to face the difficult debate.

About: drastically reduce parliamentary amendments
This Congress also does not want to have the debate about cutting 60 billion reais from parliamentary amendments.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence says the National Congress does not want to cut R$60 billion in amendments; supports the cut.
Kim Kataguiri
244:13
About: waive own mandate's parliamentary amendments
I am willing to, of every cent of parliamentary amendment from my term, give it up to reduce taxes, so that the worker can in fact work less, and not deceive him by saying that with this amendment he will work less.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence offers to forgo his amendments to lower taxes and benefit the worker.
Kim Kataguiri
244:30

Now, the overwhelming majority is not willing to have that debate.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence says the majority are unwilling to debate reducing amendments.
Kim Kataguiri
244:32
About: reduce privileges and supersalaries of the public elite
When I presented an amendment to this same proposed constitutional amendment to actually allow the worker to work less and be able to receive more, by cutting the privilege we Parliamentarians have and judges' and prosecutors' supersalaries, fewer than thirty Deputies in this House signed it.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence reminds that his amendment to cut privileges received little support.
Kim Kataguiri
244:53
About: reduce operational costs of the National Congress
Two billion reais is what the National Congress costs Brazilian society every year.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence states the National Congress cost of R$2 billion as a fact, without a detailed plan.
Kim Kataguiri
245:00
About: reduce privileges and excessive public spending
For 7 years I've tried to put on this House's agenda the discussion about cutting official cars, cutting fuel allowances for Deputies, cutting functional apartments, cutting food allowances for Deputies.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence lists proposed cuts (official car, gasoline, apartment, meals).
Kim Kataguiri
245:14
About: reduce privileges and excessive public spending
No one wants to have the debate that actually changes the worker's life.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence states that no one wants the debate that would truly change the worker's life.
Kim Kataguiri
245:20
About: use social programs to obtain votes in elections
They only want to give soft, populist and demagogic little speeches to ride the electoral wave this year.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence criticizes the populist speech as 'discursinho mole' and opportunistic.
Kim Kataguiri
245:27
About: use social programs to obtain votes in elections
No problem. They'll get an increase in votes, they'll be applauded promoting a lie they know is a lie.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence foresees an increase in votes and applause for promoting what he calls a lie.
Kim Kataguiri
245:38
About: effectively defend workers' interests
This is the cruelest part. Do you really think that the five hundred Deputies who will cast their votes and approve this amendment are five hundred Deputies who defend the worker?
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence questions whether deputies who vote in favor really defend the worker.
Kim Kataguiri
245:48
About: effectively defend workers' interests
Do you really think that the five hundred Deputies who will press the panel button defend the worker?
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence repeats a question about deputies' real commitment to the worker.

245:56
About: reduce poverty
If they defended him, the worker would not be in the misery he is in today.
Why it was classified this way · 68% confidence states that if deputies defended the worker, misery would not exist; a critical portrayal.
Kim Kataguiri
246:01
About: approve the PEC that alters working hours
Believe me: it is much more plausible that five hundred Deputies want to deceive you, lie to you with an agenda that will not improve your life, that will not change anything at all, that will push you into informality or get you fired or keep you on the 6-for-1 schedule receiving 1 hour of overtime that will be eaten by inflation.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence claims many deputies would be deceiving the population with this agenda.
Kim Kataguiri
246:24
About: reduce the workweek to 5 days via a constitutional amendment
That is exactly what will happen. Hold me accountable for this in 1 year.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence foresees that approval will not change practice; asks to be held accountable in one year.
Kim Kataguiri
246:30
About: end the 6-by-1 schedule
I wish this amendment would come into effect immediately, because I wouldn't have to wait a year for people to see that I'm right, that they are being deceived.
Why it was classified this way · 60% confidence says he would prefer speed only to be quickly proven right.
Kim Kataguiri
246:39
About: adopt the 4x3 work schedule
Unfortunately, I disagree with what was done here by the Liberal Party, that is, it answered populism with more populism, responded with the 4-for-3 or 3-for-4 schedule.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence disagrees with the PL (Liberal Party) for responding to populism with the 4 por 3 scale and calls it a lie.
Kim Kataguiri
246:55
About: adopt the 4x3 work schedule

Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence calls the proposal irresponsible and 'mentir em dobro' to the worker.
Kim Kataguiri
247:01
About: reduce the workweek to 5 days via a constitutional amendment
I will not be part of that strategy, I will not be part of that amendment, I will not lie to the worker, neither in the PL's amendment nor on the merits of the PT Government, Mr. President. Thank you.
Why it was classified this way · 92% confidence refuses to participate either in the PL (Liberal Party) motion or in the government's merits.
Kim Kataguiri
347:22
About: reduce the workweek to 5 days via a constitutional amendment
More than that, I repeat: I will not lie to the population by saying that this is the solution to end the 6-for-1 schedule, that in a year the worker will be working only 5 days a week.
Why it was classified this way · 92% confidence reiterates that it will not be presented as a constitutional solution to end the 6 por 1.
Kim Kataguiri
347:37
About: promote populist measures promising to end the 6-for-1 schedule
That is a lie, that is deception, that is ideological bad faith, which, unfortunately, is being promoted here and will have the support of a large part of the Plenary.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence calls the proposal a lie, deception and 'mau-caratismo ideológico'.
Kim Kataguiri
359:09
About: reduce the workweek to 5 days via a constitutional amendment
Mr. President, once again I will reinforce the following argument: inserting into the Constitution a provision that the 6-for-1 schedule no longer exists does not end the 6-for-1 schedule.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence states that inserting a constitutional provision will not end the 6 por 1 scale.
Kim Kataguiri
359:21
About: invest in public programs and infrastructure even in impoverished areas
I cite countries where workers work less and receive higher wages than in Brazil: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy and Germany.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence cites countries that progressed by investing in productivity, not by amending their constitutions.
Kim Kataguiri
359:30
About: end the 6-by-1 schedule
None of those countries has working hours or schedules provided for in the Constitution.
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence notes that countries with shorter working hours do not have constitutional provisions.
Kim Kataguiri
359:35
About: invest in public programs and infrastructure even in impoverished areas
They all advanced not with a populist and demagogic political class, but from a serious debate about where to invest public resources so that the Country would develop and workers would receive a larger share of the wealth generated.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence defends a serious debate on where to invest resources, citing external examples.
Kim Kataguiri
359:52
About: invest in public programs and infrastructure even in impoverished areas
Those countries did not just send money as a magical populist solution.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence lists investments that led other countries to higher wages and shorter working hours.
Kim Kataguiri
359:59
About: invest in public programs and infrastructure even in impoverished areas
They invested in productivity, invested in infrastructure, invested in science and technology, all of which Brazil, in the last 40 years, chose not to do — chose the easy, lazy, populist path.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence criticizes Brazil's choice of easy, populist measures instead of investing.
Kim Kataguiri
360:12
About: prioritize macroeconomic policies for growth and prosperity
We had a succession of Presidents of the Republic who were only concerned with presenting the Budget to win the next election and zero concerned with making the Country grow, create jobs, generate income and make Brazil a developed country, which it could already be.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence blames presidents' poor priority choices on focusing on the electoral budget.
Kim Kataguiri
360:29
About: improve the country's economic productivity
Among our peers, in emerging countries, productivity increased 128%.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence provides a comparative productivity figure between emerging peers and Brazil.
Kim Kataguiri
360:37
About: invest in public programs and infrastructure even in impoverished areas
In Brazil, 18%. Today, if we had decent governments in the last 40 years, the worker could already produce the same as today working four times less, but we had a succession of governments that approved measures like these, populist, that mean nothing in practice, that have no material change, no practical change in the economy, that do not generate productivity increases.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence attributes Brazil's lag to lack of investment and populist policies.
Kim Kataguiri
361:20
About: invest in public programs and infrastructure even in impoverished areas
And while this Parliament refuses to have a serious debate and wastes time on a project that changes nothing in the worker's life, we will remain hostages of underdevelopment.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence advocates a serious debate to direct resources and overcome underdevelopment.
Kim Kataguiri
361:35
About: reduce the workweek to 5 days via a constitutional amendment
The problem is not lack of law. The problem is not lack of text in the Constitution.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence says the problem is not the constitutional text, rejecting that approach.
Kim Kataguiri
361:42
About: implement public policies to improve quality of life
If text in the Constitution solved everything and nothing else were needed, we would have education, health, security, housing, leisure.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence lists constitutional policies that were not implemented in practice.
Kim Kataguiri
361:55
About: prioritize spending on essential public policies
No! It's not about what's in the Constitution — it's about where the money goes, how it is managed, what the Government's competence is.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence says the problem is how money is allocated, not its presence in the Constitution.
Kim Kataguiri
409:51
About: avoid procedural maneuvers that prevent legitimate voting

Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence claims the government's base sought a maneuver to avoid voting against the 4 por 3.
Kim Kataguiri
410:07
About: adopt the 4x3 work schedule
I would vote against it, just as I voted "no" now, against the Government base's populism, and I would vote "no" on the 4-for-3 schedule.
Why it was classified this way · 95% confidence declares an explicit 'não' vote against populism and against the 4 por 3 scale.
Kim Kataguiri
410:18
About: use an agglutinative amendment to conceal a vote on a working-hours proposal
Now, that same coherence and that same courage does not seem to be present in the Workers' Party, which would vote "no" to the 4-for-3 schedule, but in order not to mark its vote, approached President Hugo Motta to make a maneuver, present a consolidating amendment and not put its mark on the vote it defends behind the scenes.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence Accuses PT of a maneuver to avoid marking digital on the vote it defends behind the scenes.
Kim Kataguiri
410:39
About: vote against the PEC that changes working hours
So, I just think it needs to be clear and for the population to know that there are many people here — a few hundred, I would say — who defend one thing behind the scenes, but when it comes time to put their mark, they do not have the courage. The direction is "no", Mr. President.
Why it was classified this way · 88% confidence Guides 'não' and asks for clarity about who defends what behind the scenes.
