President of PSDB exhumes corpses of PMDB
In response to Iris Rezende's criticisms of the state government and Governor Perillo made at the meeting in Catalão, Paulo de Jesus says that, "before attacking good people," the former mayor should regain his conscience, reflect deeply, "see the harm he has done to Goiás and repent for his mistakes"; these statements give a preview of how bloody the 2014 election campaign could be.
Goiás247_ The regional president of the PSDB party, Paulo de Jesus, reacted to criticisms made by former mayor Iris Rezende against the state government and Governor Marconi Perillo during a regional party meeting in Catalão. The leader distributed a press release recalling the wrongdoings of the PMDB years in power (1983-1998). “Former mayor Iris Rezende must have suffered a bout of amnesia. He forgot that he and the PMDB sold Cachoeira Dourada and Corumbá 1, bankrupted the Bank of the State of Goiás (BEG), the State Savings Bank of Goiás (Caixego), and the Development Bank of Goiás (BD-GO).”
The statement is a harsh response to the former mayor, who in a speech made strong criticisms of the state government, said he could not stay out of the 2014 election and that he would fight with all his strength for the good of Goiás. “The state needs me. Staying away from the next elections would be the same as going against the gift God gave me. God made me a politician. I am a politician. And I will fight with all my strength for the good of Goiás,” the PMDB member declared.
The note sets the tone for what the 2014 election might be like. If the racketeer Carlinhos Cachoeira becomes a weapon of the opposition, the government will react fiercely: “Iris and his party were responsible for the biggest corruption scandals in Goiás – the Caixego and Astrográfica cases. It was he – Iris Rezende – who brought Delta to Goiás, signed the biggest contracts with the Goiânia City Hall, and now keeps them under lock and key.”

Press Release
Former mayor Íris Rezende must have suffered a bout of amnesia at his party's regional meeting in Catalão. He forgot that he and the PMDB sold Cachoeira Dourada and Corumbá 1, bankrupted the Bank of the State of Goiás (BEG), the Savings Bank of the State of Goiás (Caixego), and the Development Bank of Goiás (BD-GO).
Iris and his party were at the center of the biggest corruption scandals in Goiás – the Caixego and Astrográfica cases. It was he – Iris Rezende – who brought Delta to Goiás, signed the biggest contracts with the Goiânia City Hall, and now keeps them under wraps.
Before attacking good people, Íris should regain her conscience, reflect deeply, see the harm she has done to Goiás, and repent for her mistakes.
The current government is still paying off huge loans that the PMDB governments took out, putting the money who knows where, perhaps along with the proceeds from the sale of Cachoeira Dourada.
The governments of Marconi Perillo, unlike what the PMDB did, fixed the public finances, brought the payroll up to date, attracted investments, and modernized the administration.
Today, the PSDB government and its allied parties are innovating in healthcare management, significantly improving education indicators, investing in public safety, once again surprising with Bolsa Futuro, the most modern and efficient workforce training program in the country, and, in addition, executing the largest infrastructure investment program in our history.
Wake up, former mayor, face reality! The people of Goiás have already told you four times at the ballot box that they don't want your outdated, resentful, and demagogic style!
Let Íris Rezende run for Governor of Goiás in 2014. This way, the people will once again have the opportunity to evaluate, compare, and judge the administrations of the PMDB and those of Marconi Perillo.
Paul of Jesus
Regional President of the PSDB
