SÃO PAULO Without giving a reason for her absence, Dilma Rousseff, of the PT party, did not attend the interview scheduled for Jornal da Globo this Tuesday. Marina Silva, of the PSB party, participated in the program the previous night, and Aécio Neves, of the PSDB party, has confirmed his presence for this Wednesday. The order of the interviews was determined by lottery.
The news anchors, William Waack and Christiane Pelajo, highlighted that the candidate's absence was unjustified and reported that this was the first time a presidential candidate had failed to appear for an interview since the series began in 2002.
According to journalists, the president would have to explain the technical recession and the failure to fulfill some promises made during the 2010 presidential campaign. During the news broadcast, the presenters read the questions that would have been asked of the candidate seeking re-election but remained unanswered. They are as follows:
- The latest official growth figures indicate that the country has entered a technical recession. Are you still insisting on blaming the international crisis, even though many countries comparable to ours are growing faster?
Will you continue to artificially suppress gasoline and diesel prices to control inflation, to the detriment of Petrobras?
- The way public spending is accounted for in Brazil, under your government, has been criticized by economists, both inside and outside the country, and pointed to as a factor in the breakdown of trust. How do you respond to this?
- You promised to invest R$ 34 billion in basic sanitation and water supply by the end of your term. At the end of last year, you had invested less than half of that, according to the Ministry of Cities. What went wrong?
- In 2002, then-candidate Lula promised to eradicate illiteracy, but he failed. In 2010, it was your turn, during your campaign, to make the same promise. But it was during your term that the rate increased for the first time in 15 years. Why?
Do you consider it right to give dentures to a poor citizen shortly before she is scheduled to appear on your election television program?
