The main idea is to call attention to the existing conflict within the Brazilian economic
team as the Prime Minister, Paulo Guedes, known for his neoliberal agenda of
reforms and austerity policies, tries to resist to the protection and social assistance
measures stimulated by the congress and implemented by important countries in
response to the consequences of the covid-19.
The measures to assist the population, which require strong State intervention,
contradict the policies of fiscal austerity and liberalization of the economy defended
by the Minister of the Economy, resulting in a delay in the government's responses to
the crisis and in the growth of popular dissatisfaction.
It is possible to perceive and reaffirm the government's inefficiency and
backwardness in combating the consequences brought by the covid-19 when we
observe the delay and timidity of the actions taken by the president and his team and
when we face statements that contradict the dynamics of international relations of our
own country.
It is also observed the power of influence of the international scene in the national
policies of a country. The Brazilian response to social protection for the population
and to the release of credit was made possible to a large extent by the pressure
exerted by the international community, since large countries such as Germany, the
United Kingdom, France, Canada and, belatedly, the United States adopted
measures that go against the austerity policies and meet World Bank
recommendations.
