Today is a historic day.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:03
The day the left is allowing me to explain to all of Brazil what they did to the workers.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:11
About: combat corruption in the state administration
The same ones who will soon have been in power for 20 years, who were responsible for the biggest corruption scandals in this country, who literally left Brazil with the highest tax burden in the last 15 years, with 33% of GDP... being only taxes, who set a record in revenue, who just this year of 2026 have already collected 1.5 trillion in taxes, who in the Lula government have already spent more than 7 billion on international trips, the country they left with wildfires, with 50 million people under the control of organized crime, this country they left without healthcare.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence attributes the 'maiores escândalos' to the opponent and calls for tackling corruption.
Nikolas Ferreira
0:59
About: increase investments in public education in Paraná
Without education, it's those same ones who today are saying they are the bulwark defending the worker.
Why it was classified this way · 82% confidence repeats criticism of the lack of education and contrasts it with the opponent's rhetoric.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:09
About: promote policies to increase labor productivity
I want to remind you, gentlemen, that the defense or not of the shift schedule and the discussion should never have been only about the schedule.
Why it was classified this way · 82% confidence says the discussion should focus on productivity, not just the schedule.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:19
About: promote policies to increase labor productivity
It should have been like other countries that truly are examples to the world; we should have been discussing productivity.
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence stresses that other countries treat productivity as a priority.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:29
But it's very easy to come in and want to change reality with the stroke of a pen.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:34
Well, that was the proposal we made.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:37
About: adopt a 4x3 work schedule
So let's change then from 5x2 to 4x3.
Why it was classified this way · 95% confidence explicitly proposes changing the schedule to '4 por 3'.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:42
One day more or one day less makes no difference.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:46
But what happened, gentlemen?
Nikolas Ferreira
1:49
About: adopt a 4x3 work schedule
The left pulled a maneuver today, they buried the possibility.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence criticizes the maneuver that 'enterrou a possibilidade', defending the measure.
Nikolas Ferreira
1:54
About: adopt a 4x3 work schedule
They prevented them from voting and showing Brazil who would be against the 4x3; they stopped the measure from taking effect tomorrow.
Why it was classified this way · 90% confidence says they prevented immediate enactment of the 4x3 and complains about the maneuver.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:05
And I'll say more: if things and reality were so easy to fix with the stroke of a pen, why didn't they do it 20 years ago?
Nikolas Ferreira
2:16
Why not change the minimum wage to 10,000 reais?
Nikolas Ferreira
2:20
Gentlemen, look at the nerve they had.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:24
You, worker, who really have to work not only on a schedule that doesn't allow you to go to work, to church, or to leisure, but the issue isn't just the schedule — it's your salary that's being cut away from you by the State.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:45
After all, food is increasingly expensive, gasoline is increasingly expensive.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:51
About: strengthen public security to reduce robberies
If you're at a bus stop waiting to go to work and you get robbed, that also concerns your salary.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence ties thefts on public transport to wage loss and calls for security measures.
Nikolas Ferreira
2:58
About: increase investments in public health in Paraná
In other words, the lack of security, the lack of a health system that really provides good care so people have to resort to the private sector — your salary goes away.
Why it was classified this way · 78% confidence links lack of public services to income loss and calls for investment.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:09
About: increase investments in public education in Paraná
It's also school that has to be paid for with the money from your salary that's gone, because you have to put your child in private school too.
Why it was classified this way · 78% confidence says families pay for private school due to a lack of public education.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:18
And so your salary keeps disappearing.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:21
So, who is actually worried about the workers?
Nikolas Ferreira
3:25
Those who literally left the country in the state it's in?
Nikolas Ferreira
3:29
Because, gentlemen, I never governed this country.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:32
I have never been President of the Republic.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:35
Our deputies here likewise were not in ministries as they are now.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:40
So, does that mean... what was the play?
Nikolas Ferreira
3:44
I already know.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:45
Let's do the following.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:47
About: adopt a 5x2 work schedule
Let's set it to 5x2.
Why it was classified this way · 65% confidence proposes 'colocar cinco por dois' as a parliamentary alternative/tactic.
Nikolas Ferreira
3:49
We'll make them vote against it and then we'll paint them as enemies of the people, even though the person who proposed this bill has more absences than presences.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:04
Even though the person who proposed this bill didn't say whether there was an economic impact study.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:12
Even though that person simply... got the math wrong in the bill.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:21
They put that 4 times 4 was 36.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:24
What is 4 times 4, gentlemen?
Nikolas Ferreira
4:26
Does the left not know 8 times 4?
Nikolas Ferreira
4:29
It's 32, isn't it, not 36?
Nikolas Ferreira
4:30
In other words, these are the people who today are posing as defenders of the worker.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:37
After 20 years of government, I've figured you out.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:40
Now I want to take care of you.
Nikolas Ferreira
4:42

Nikolas Ferreira
5:01
Are we against the worker?
Nikolas Ferreira
5:02
No.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:03
But do you know what I'm going to say?
Nikolas Ferreira
5:05
And I'm going to say it like this, exhaustively.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:07
Do you know what it is?
Nikolas Ferreira
5:09
When there are mass layoffs.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:11
When the price of products goes up.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:13
When the entrepreneur can no longer cope and will have to fire someone to hire another, then, my friends, that day will be wonderful, because you wanted to put something in place and escape the consequences, but no.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:29
When it happens, I will be ready, dressed, ready to speak.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:35
Who is responsible for this?
Nikolas Ferreira
5:37
it's you.
Nikolas Ferreira
5:39
who literally want to deceive people.

5:56
Do you know what they did?
Nikolas Ferreira
5:57
They set an effective date of 60 days, reduced two hours and then a year in order to have the end of the 6x1 schedule.
Nikolas Ferreira
6:08
Hours.
Nikolas Ferreira
6:09
About: adopt a 4x3 work schedule
Why didn't you put it in effect now, my sirs?
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence questions why they did not implement the change immediately.

Do you know why?

6:13
Because you knew it would have an economic effect and do you know what would be ruined?
Nikolas Ferreira
6:18
There wouldn't be a Lula election anymore.
Nikolas Ferreira
6:20
Do you know what that is?
Nikolas Ferreira
6:21
A desperation to get votes.
Nikolas Ferreira
6:22
But can I speak?
Nikolas Ferreira
6:24
I'm not afraid to tell the truth.
Nikolas Ferreira
6:27
Do you know why?
Nikolas Ferreira

A lie can deceive some for a time; it can literally reach into people's souls.
Nikolas Ferreira
6:37
who are in a bad situation in this country that you left behind, but the lie does not endure for long.
Nikolas Ferreira
6:44
You, they did it, they wanted to present it as if I had made workers work 52 hours with a 10-year transition, when the 10 years were in the PT (Workers' Party) report and the 52 hours was never about a work schedule, it was about 12-hour shifts.
Nikolas Ferreira
7:07
extra hours that he may or may not do as overtime.
Nikolas Ferreira
7:12
Gentlemen, for 20 years people have been making the same choice expecting different results.
Nikolas Ferreira
7:22
They literally put a person convicted at three levels of the courts now in the presidency.
Nikolas Ferreira
7:29
There are Brazilians who really believed for a time that you were concerned about them, but look, I say this here very calmly.
Nikolas Ferreira
7:38
Thank God we still have a lot of life left to reach people and tell the truth.

So, gentlemen, I do not want to be remembered
Nikolas Ferreira
