247 - Internet users heavily criticized Paulo Guedes, who was Minister of Economy in Jair Bolsonaro's (PL) government. Social media profiles recalled the assessment made by the former minister in 2021, when he stated that if Lula (PT) won the election, Brazil would take 'six months to become Argentina' and 'a year and a half to become Venezuela'.
According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 2,9% Last year, in the quarter ending in January, the average real income of workers reached 3.078 reais, an increase of 1,6% compared to the previous quarter and 3,8% year-on-year. The rate of Unemployment in Brazil stood at 7,6%., the lowest percentage since 2015.
Users of the social network X poked fun at Bolsonaro's former minister. "Wanted! Name: Paulo Guedes. Nickname: Little GDP," wrote one person.
Another internet user posted: "I regret to inform Mr. Paulo Guedes that his prediction of Brazil becoming Venezuela has been canceled. Remember that Lula inherited a Brazil in 11th place and in one year he's already handing it over in 9th position. All that's left for the 'patriots' who are rooting against Brazil is to cry. Lula's huge GDP."
