Toledo: Temer is starting to look like Sarney
"This so-called bridge to the future was designed as an end in itself: to bring the PMDB to power without intermediaries. What to do when we get there, besides outsourcing the economic area? We'll see when the time comes," wrote columnist José Roberto de Toledo; according to him, his government, lacking initiatives, is beginning to resemble that of José Sarney.
247 - No artigo Sarneyization in sight.In an article published this Monday, columnist José Roberto de Toledo argues that Michel Temer's interim government is beginning to resemble that of José Sarney more and more.
"This so-called bridge to the future was designed as an end in itself: to bring the PMDB to power without intermediaries. What to do when we get there, besides outsourcing the economic area? We'll see when the time comes. Take the case of the Minister of Education. Until he was invited to the position, he seems never to have thought deeply about the issues on his desk. Or he wouldn't have prioritized the advice of a porn actor," he says.
"The problem with improvisation is that the administration becomes vulnerable to all kinds of lobbying. Especially when the outgoing administration leaves no record, roadmap, or advisors who know what's going on. That's when the shrewd ones appear. Since there's no power vacuum, there's always someone who sees the opportunity to fill it," he continues.
For him, this increases the risk of a mediocre government incapable of advancing any economic agenda.
